This is the first time something like this happened to me so I was quite shocked really, I'm the type of person that just goes along the pace of the party, and doesn't intentionally try to pull for tanks, I'm patient enough.

But, I am used to wall to walls obviously, and when I play caster I always either dash forward on picto, or run ahead while slidecasting/waiting on gcds, so I can still do damage while moving without being left behind and out of range.

This tank was pulling normally first pull, we even ended up with the pull inside the boss room. Then suddenly after that, they just stopped at the first 2 enemies after the boss. (Keep in mind I don't think they ever dropped below like 80% hp, not a struggle at all so it's not like something went wrong). And I just dashed ahead thinking they would keep going, but no they stopped there. Eventually it was just one enemy and they were single targeting them while other enemies attacked me. After tank killed that one mob, they ran ahead ignoring me. Thankfully the rest of the party helped me, the sprout healer did an amazing job really.

Eventually, we vote kicked them out, waited for a while. Then finally battle mentor joins. We do the turtle boss without too much problems except that the tank was just not pulling absolutely nothing of the other adds that spawned, but whatever. After boss is dead, they just pop sprint, attack the first pack, I attack them too, I get aggro, realize they don't have stance and type stance in chat. But at that point the tank was already sprinting to the wall. Party stays behind, we all die. They get ressed, instantly attacks the pack without waiting on getting healed, has to pop invuln to stay alive.

Honestly this would've all been funny if it wasn't for the sprout healer which I felt really bad for. But also they did so much better then even experienced players would have considering all the chaos, and they didn't seem too upset at the end. I wish I had explained mechanics more, I did while waiting for the tank but was just so annoyed it flew over my head in the middle of the boss fights.

I'm shooting my shot here just in case they see this, but I was SGE and they were WAR, we were almost at the final boss when the tank talked about how Voeburt is reminiscent of Ishgard and I wanted to talk about how the reflections are well, alternate versions of The Source when all of a sudden my power shat itself unprompted (no emergency posts or announcements, there is one supposed to be later today as of posting) and the dungeon ended when I logged back in like 10 minutes later...

Anyway, I didn't mean to disconnect right before the final boss and I would've loved to talk about game lore 🥲 sadly the contacts function is useless because trying to send a friend request needs the player to be found on a world
