The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - Warren Castille - 05-11-2016
We have dedicated threads for complaining about other people, both in game and out, and we have a RL complaining thread, and we have a lot of locations for us to vent spleen about stuff plaguing our lives and those of our characters.
What we didn't have, UNTIL NOW, is a place for us to confess our own sins and transgressions made against the world. So let us all take a moment, FFXIV and RPC Faithful, and reflect upon the things we have done or said in our less-than-glamorous moments. Mayhaps we can all find a little absolution in the dialogue.
I'll start us off, even. It hasn't been as much lately, but I am a full recipient of Tank Privilege and have done more than my share of leaving runs early if I don't like the party, or the dungeon, or I'm sick of wiping to Chrysalis for the fifth time. More recently, I was invited to a wedding in game and completely forgot about it until the day after, and I've felt pretty bad since then.
Disclaimer: Please keep it as civil as the other threads are; Don't use this thread to be passive-aggressive and be all "I WAS JUST TOO REAL FOR THOSE ASSES IN MY OLD LINKSHELL" or anything.

After multiple wipes in a Titan farm party, I became very passive aggressive in reminding people the mechanics. Usually, I'll end/begin the sentence with"it's really easy" or "kinda hard to miss" - stuff like that. There was actually a point where if we weren't making progression, I would be fairly passive aggressive about it. This is when I realized I needed a much-needed break from raiding.

I go to reply to a lot of PMs and then forget about it forEVER, and then feel terrible when I get that reminder message.
I'm so sorry, all of you I've kept waiting. D:

I'm sorry to everyone in low level roulette when I drop because it gave me Toto Rak or Cutters Cry.
You probably waited a hour to get in there and I just abandon. Sorry.

I instantly quit at Steps of Faith as soon we got more than one person new to it. Twelve save my soul for not wishing to guide newbies.

I constantly undercut people by like 1 gil on the markets. It makes me glad your actual name isn't on any sales because I'm pretty sure I'd be receiving a lot of angry tells otherwise.

The first time that I did Titan HM I purposefully let myself die from the first ledge drop, and let the team take care of him while I watched TV. I was one of the healers. I still feel bad about it.

I get mad and yell at everyone on voice chat during raids.

I've sometimes gotten snarky towards others. I generally try to be really nice, but sometimes something just flips my switch... but it's not really a justified excuse for being unkind to anybody. So hey, if anybody's reading this and you feel I've been uncool towards you, I'm sorry. I'm game to hug it out and carry on, or if you want to talk about it first or something, just reach out to me and we can.
RE: The Sin and Forgiveness Thread - McBeefâ„¢ - 05-12-2016
I yell a lot sometimes.
Then I feel bad.

Levelling roulette. Aurum Vale (first time as healer). Struggling to keep tank up even though their health isn't dropping too quickly.
Suddenly get a bunch of 0% notifications. Forgot to repair before I queued. All my right side gear gone, left side is getting 10% notifications as we kill trash.
Apologise verbally, offer to drop out so they can get a proper healer, but also offer to stay if they'd rather have a bad healer than the in-progress queue. Group is indifferent, say I can do what I want / what I think is best. I try, but I'm really fighting just to keep the tank up through trash. I apologise again and drop out just before the first boss.
I used my roulette penalty to sit in the corner by the marketboard and spend all my gil thinking about what I'd done, because it turned out all of my gear on both sides was - broken or not - about 10 levels behind where it should have been. >_>

I've quite a lot of players on my list of friends that I just don't talk to at all. Generally speaking if someone doesn't talk to me for a while I just assume that they're no longer interested and stop interacting with them. It's not that I'm anti-social, I've just been burned far too often by the habit of people adding me as a friend with the intention of plotting together only to just...never actually get around to doing anything.
This makes me a little worried that I may unintentionally be burning bridges and missing out on potential plots and connections. I'm lucky enough to have a pretty close knit bunch of in-game friends that I talk to literally everyday but I do feel a little bad that it's seemingly so difficult for me to branch out beyond that.

I'm really bad about getting back to people about RP and sometimes I get really bogged down in FC leading management crap.

This exactly.
Maybe not exactly. I can be kind of anti-social sometimes....... D;
