so is what I heard true?Follow

Duty roulette is just an LFG tool that rewards players for completing random dungeons. No where is it ever stated or implied that it's for first time or struggling players. The idea was borrowed from other games that do not penalize players for dropping from a group, no matter what their reason is. XIV should be no different.

As per Yoshi P's words it was designed to allow solo players match up for dungeons quicker, then was given a party feature due to demand (even though other games allowed you to from the get go.)

Like I said Im merely looking for admission that that IS the case. i.e If more then half the people here said "I rate down all your posts because I dont like you" Then Id KNOW thats the case and wouldnt have to ASSUME that its the case (you know what they say about those who assume). Once I KNOW that thats the case then everytime the red arrow bombing happens I can say "well I know why" and thus wouldnt have to discuss the issue or be shocked when it happens because weve already established that it happens because its me and that Id be perfectly at peace with.

And that rather bothers me. Lately I've encountered a lot of "blame the healers" with groups who are frustrated with their failed strategies in the Syrcus. This group I was with was failing the second fight over and over because the alliance decided they should tank the boss on one of the pads and people should get themselves frozen in the middle of the battlefield, pretty much right in the middle of all that staff AoE (I pointed out this problem, but it fell on deaf ears, so I didn't press it... I had been through the fight successfully a few times times before that and we always tanked in the center and ran the frozen out to the pads).

So after all this mayhem, the summoner who happened to be the leader of the party griped that the healers weren't raising people enough and that's the reason they were losing. I pointed out we were a couple of white mages, and not only do we have MP issues when weakened (a raise costs me almost 800 mp, and that's about the mp I have when raised), but we have to prioritize keeping the living alive. It doesn't help that we got frozen for a minute at a time because not everyone figured out the fireball mechanic. So the summoner said we've got two bards so MP is no excuse (never mind that the bards never once offered to Ballad, but I'm not so rude as to tell people how to do their jobs).

But he started a vote to kick the other healer and the party accepted!

And I'm sure he'd have kicked me too if he wasn't locked out of trying again so soon. So instead he starts broadcasting on Twitch, claiming I'm the one who looks like an idiot for not raising people enough (seriously, the one party support feature of summoners and he wants to gripe about using it) so there's probably some unwarranted name-and-shame video of my character on the internet somewhere.

And apparently, this being kicked can get you banned from the game if you get kicked enough over crap like this. Great.

Yeah, at least the silver lining is that he'll post it thinking he'll shame me but he's really shaming himself for ignoring my advice and fighting the boss the wrong way, and then turning around and blaming the healers when it didn't work. I always try my best as a healer; I make some mistakes, but nothing so bad on a new fight that I'd be ashamed if anyone saw what I did.
