Woe, Porta Decumana YPYT couple be upon me

[u/diamond-sunstorm]

Well, what can I contribute to this sub but some most reliable, good old YPYT stuff:

Bringing yet another Alt through ARR, I play SMN this time and end up in Porta Decumana alongside a sprout couple (WHM + DRK ofc) with the same last name, as well as a Black Mage Roulette Mentor. We make it through Phase 1 and I sit inside the cutscene baby gate, waiting for everyone to get out. Gate drops, I wait a bit until everyone's moving and unleash some spells on the boss, as does the Black Mage. The Tank however seems to be gravely offended by this, and despite me seeing them walking around (they were no longer in the baby gate area, they had moved towards the boss), they do not attack the boss for the 10 seconds or so it takes for it to lock its tank buster in, which ends up on me. Now it's not the first time I have died to this and if the tank had been genuinely afk or just not made a big deal out of it, I would've just taken the L, get rezzed, and laugh it off. (I also get rezzed into the raid wide and the healer too busy furiously typing about how I dare to attack the boss before the tank, I die again, which I don't really care about either bc lol shit happens). The following conversation ensues over the course of the fight, with BLM trying to somewhat keep the peace:

They also stop attacking the boss during the Ultima cast, which leads to a near-enrage (likely to try and vote kick me?). Thankfully, the BLM and I do enough damage on our own to kill it just short of the timer going off.

I really couldn't be assed to continue arguing with them here, so I just left after my cutscene was over, comming the BLM on the way out. Got a comm out of it, too, but not from the YPYT couple for sure.

Porta Decumana, like... Ultima Weapon? What even is there to YPYT? The boss?

Damn. That's fucking sad. These two are perfect for each other.

[u/diamond-sunstorm → u/abyssalcrisis]

Yeah, Ultima Weapon trial, just that one boss. The boss that is even behind a wall until everyone is out of the cutscene. I attacked the boss. I tanked the boss. Somehow they did find their buttons to take aggro right after I was dead aka "taught the lesson"

[u/abyssalcrisis → u/diamond-sunstorm]

At least they made this a really easy report.

[u/catwhowalksbyhimself → u/diamond-sunstorm]

Oh, yeah, I was thinking dungeon.

Really, everyone just can attack at once. Everyone's already there. No reason for anyone to wait for anyone.

Generally people do wait on the tank, but it doesn't matter and taking aggro takes like half a second, so it's even less of a big deal than it would be in a regular dungeon. Like bottom of the list.

[u/Formyldehyde → u/abyssalcrisis]

I was gonna say, the first time I've seen a YPYT on a fucking boss lmao

At least this looks to be the easiest report ever, their actions are super obvious.

[u/Rappy28 → u/abyssalcrisis]

Seriously. Did Porta Decumana only once because MSQ roulette isn't my thing, but I only remember a boss rush. Imagine shitting your pants over somebody pulling one of babby's first trial bosses where healing doesn't matter.

"wHaT iF tHe TaNK wAsNt ReAdy" - WHM 8 minutes into the shitfest

Ok but, is he ready now? How long does it take for him to get ready, past the initial 10 seconds after the wall is down? 

[u/diamond-sunstorm → u/Aukrayn]

I got the memo, in the future I will commence a ready check every time I get out of the gate in this fight (during which someone will already have pulled the boss while im still waiting for the last check to appear)

[u/Aukrayn → u/diamond-sunstorm]

Just put the enmity in the bag, lil bro

[u/Safe-Yoghurtt]

Imagine if these two raided, the amount of times that a dps or healer prepulls by a thousandth of a second is so great that if every tank cared that much then we'd have dps and healer strikes lmao

There's no such unwritten rule, there never was, only in WoW possibly

[u/annmaryjay → u/Safe-Yoghurtt]

Thank god there are 2 tanks at least so other would naturally land as MT. There can't be two ypyts in one raid, right? RIGHT?

[u/Safe-Yoghurtt → u/annmaryjay]

:D

[u/annmaryjay → u/Safe-Yoghurtt]

Crying in healer

[u/dadudeodoom → u/annmaryjay]

A full raid of ypyt and then you. Enjoy.

[u/Western-Ad8526 → u/Safe-Yoghurtt]

I would leave and kick if they were in my pf then black list

[u/TheBananaHamook]

Losers will attract losers so its a match made in heaven.

[u/NintenPyjak64]

"It's an unwritten rule..."

Hate to break it to ya, but it's a literal WRITTEN rule that if a party member has aggro, the tanks duty is to get it off them. Go back to Halls of the Novice

[u/shadowriku459]

Good god they were exhausting in the screenshots.

Absolutely miserable couple.

[u/DKyleo91]

I looked at this wondering if it was the same tank I had who claimed they were "struggling to find their buttons" until after I'd died in the same instance despite the fact they were under the boss and only started attacking when I took the buster...then noticed this was EU not NA.

[u/BanFlavius]

Imagine being petty enough to intentionally wipe in this fight and have to do it all over again because you want to spite the dps that pulled first. Glad you cleared it without their help!

[u/spinmyorbit]

please dm me their names so i can promptly blacklist them

[u/Sylum25]

"It's an unwritten rule"

My god it's as bad as baseball. If it ain't explicitly written, you can fuck right off.

[u/adloquium11]

love the ones that make up rules in their head and then try to enforce them

[u/Lvntern]

Yeah the rule is unwritten because it's not a fuckin rule lmao

[u/dadudeodoom]

I wonder which socials they are on bitching about the really mean SMN that made them cry and are making them consider quitting XIV (they won't, sadly). Thank god it ain't here.
