Talk:Itazura's Bard Puller Guide/Obstacles to Exp/Hour

2 notes, one is a commentary.

"Replacement parties" you are correct, they really do tend to fall apart. The exceptions though are parties composed entirely through your social LS (if it's a good LS), and a very effective Abyssea party. People tend to come running when they hear that you are getting 600/kill or that the pt has been going for 3 hours, no end in sight and you've already gained X levels.

The other one is an entire category of bad player, the AFK effect. A bathroom break every hour or 2 is perfectly ok or getting a drink, etc. as long as you announce it. However, the player who-announced or not-is going away every 5 minutes to take a call, yell at the kids, update their facebook page, etc. The leader needs to boot them ASAP. AFK is also like a yawn, it encourages the rest of the party to be lax since obviously the party is not focussed.--Deadmeataru 15:38, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
