"Go to the Dunes" will now replace "go to hell" for me. I spent the entire day there today, and words cannot describe how bad it was. I took screenshots of various conversations, but decided they were so painful that they weren't worth editing to post.

The highlights of the day:

1) The "in" thing in the Dunes is calling Bogys "flying ballsacks". Three different parties did this, totally different people.

2) Using "gay" to mean "bad" (idiots elsewhere in the game do that as well, but in the Dunes it happens non-stop). I swear to god, I don't know how I stopped myself from correcting these fucking idiots. How stupid, how awful, how bad of a person do you have to be to use "gay" synonymously for "bad"? What the hell is wrong with people?

3) Huggable. A Taru RDM, rank 1, no subjob. It's fine and dandy to be new. Everyone was new once, everyone has to learn sometime. I dealt with a lot of new people today and had no issue with them... and then I met Huggable. First she blind invited me, so I turned it down and /telled her that she should ask people before inviting. So she replied with "pt" and sent another invite. *sigh* Since few others were seeking, I... I... accepted. Totally my bad there. The party? RDM-RDM-RDM-RDM-WHM-PLD. (Cause hey, if one is good four must be better, right?) About two hours later, we had made 800 XP. Ha ha ha. But (would you believe it) then things got worse! People left and joined the party, and we were down to just Huggable and I as RDMs. We were fighting gobs. Each and every fight, this idiot would melee. Each fight we told her not to, even typing in all caps and using calls, and she ignored us. A Taru mage with no subjob. Each time the gob dropped a bomb, the idiot nearly died. She would cast as she hit, and eventually get to 0 MP... yet not stop hitting. Again, ignoring everyone telling her to sit.

Eventually she finally replied to us asking her why the hell she wasn't listening to us. She said something like 'im new. im wrapping gifts doin lots xmas stuff' &$*&#@& Unfortunately this wonderful player was the leader of the party, so we couldn't just boot her. Eventually we broke the party and reformed without her to get rid of her. (And she got another invite before she was out of our sight!) But that wasn't even the best part:

Once she was gone, the fucking idiot started /telling me. Called me a "heartless pig" and said "thistle your a ass" (love that stunning grasp of grammar!) because I told her she should not be multitasking while partying. She said I didn't get to "comdom" (meant 'condemn', but I first read it as 'condom' and had a laugh) because usually she's a good player. (RDM 17 being her highest level job, lots of chances for her to have been a good player before tonight, right?)

I was literally sick to my stomach by the time I left the Dunes tonight. I had really really wanted to hit RDM 20 (I'm 1K from it) so I could use the dagger Yossy gave me, but I gave up. I cannot deal with these idiots anymore tonight. (I never type in all caps, I rarely curse, but I was so close to chewing people out that way tonight. Just how stupid, drop-dead stupid people are! This was the second time today I wished the game was PvP, because it would have been my biggest joy all year to return as DRK and kill all these people. They get a raise? I'd kill them again! I'd find their damned homepoints and camp them to keep killing them! I'd kill them so much and so often that they'd eventually quit the game to get away from me, and then I'd kill them even more!

*sigh* Back to dealing with these people tomorrow...

*rubs her party good luck on you* I just got done with a 3-nin party this evening/morning... @_@ I went from being 1.2k out from 17 to 2k from 20. x.x The WHM was a bit paltry (didn't have curaga, shellra.... c.c;) but it went really well. If I'm coherent enough tomorrow, I'll head out with you. I'm going to get BLM to 21, so I can get WHM to 42 and eat all those teleport scrolls I've been sitting on... forever. >

Ugh! Hopefully we'll both have good parties from now on! (Ha ha... Or at least a minimum of bad ones!)

I'll never, ever, ever PT low levels again unless it's absolutely necessary. BRD PLs are the only way to go. Chain #6 280 solo = fun and way faster than I could get in a crappy Valkurm/Buburimu/Korroloka PT.

I'm terribly sorry, but as I was reading that I laughed so hard I think I peed a little.

Flying. Ballsacks. I think I may have to sue you for mental trauma now. The image of jetpack toting scrotums was enough to strike me blind.

I kid, I kid. But I'm still blind. Little help here?

I took RDM from 1-18 solo... sometimes with my NPC. It rocked not having to touch the dooms at all :D

But the d00ns is essential to understanding the meaning of pain and um, spiritual growth or something.

Ha, yes. But I'm done with it! Forever! (Hopefully...) So yay!

I think there's a typo in your post, dear. It's not "go to the Dunes," it's "go to the Dooms."
