Are you a bad tank that doesn't know how to hold aggro? That's very important information.

Nope, not at all.
I'm also only talking about 4-man dungeons.
Here are some examples:
Big pulls: while I'm rounding up all the mobs there are some dds who think it's a good idea to go full dps on the first thing that gets into their range. Then when they aggro said enemy, instead of bringing it to where I rounded up about a dozen things, they run around doing whoknowswhat.
Fights with 2 or more mobs: if I don't mark things (I usually don't do that anymore besides in <50 dungeons, since you meet some really special people there) it might happen that dds can't decide what to attack and each of them pick their own target. This can become compliacted in situations where I don't have Shield Oath yet. If a melee aggroes the enemy it's okay, I just take it back. If a range dd aggroes, well that's where it becomes annoying.
Healer hotting before pulls and then running away from me.
I main BLM and when I notice I'll aggro something soon I'll move closer to the tank even before something happens. This seems to be a totally unknown concept to some. Instead they just start running away from me/the tank.
Your examples are mostly valid but I don't usually have to much of an issue in the second example. If it causes me to much issues then I mark otherwise I don't.
The rest I have experienced quite a few times though
Positions are locked when Alexander stomps the ground. Well, technically at the end of the castbar but that's a good visual tell. So for example in Inception, we wait until he stomps, then immediately move to middle. For Stasis it's not an issue really since player pools will be automatically baited to the edges. For the first phase you just kinda get good?

These queues are killing me. I just want my aether oil so I can slam down a couple dozen ARFs for my relic, alright? Come oooon.

Don't do Crystal Tower outside of weekends lol

I must, though, to get as much time as possible for the next step for my relic. If I spend all that time farming for Lore, I should be able to get into the new step, and get my rewards for the dailies and weeklies for it, before weekly reset.
I have enough items for 33 crystal sands, so

Crystal Tower queues were annoying, but I was so glad that I read the stage ahead of time. Was able to get the previous upgrade, then immediately do that one.
I found getting in a hunt linkshell and/or Guildwork client very helpful in picking up spare currency between queues. Did it the last few days in between ARF queues and it's helped. Probably going to finish up the 260 stage tomorrow. Not patient enough to wait for Tuesday and the weekly to reset.

There's been a huge return to the raid scene following The Creator. This is what the game needed.
Ooh, did you join GAF on Ultros? Xtech can troll you in this game like he did in BDO!

Thanks!
Nah, I'm on Siren. Not even the same data center as Ultros I think. Had some friends on this server.
I'll be playing this more casually instead of going all hard core like I did in BDO.
RIP Xtech's potential trolling

I want the pretty birdy mounts but apparently they're super duper stupid rare and ... I can't even fly anywhere on my own yet and I got no level 60s cause new job sucks up a ton of meh time.
Welp, that sucks. At least I can get my DRK/ WAR the pretty new GC top if I keep training my Harem- I mean SQUAD!

Don't mess with the sandworms. They are NOT your friend.
If you've been doing the clan hunt stuff to level up you can use them to get some cheap gear to keep you going while you go through the MSQ stuff.
You have to enter 101+ to get it so your gonna have to run it again from 1-100 without dying I think

Yes, used to get so many tells on any server that wasn't Balmung/Gilgamesh and now not a thing

What did they do I wonder. Now that you mention it, I haven't gotten any recently either.

If I buy the game, will some of you want to play with me to help me catch up? I haven't played in over three years. I'm pretty early in the game.
Also, is it possible to change servers? I do not remember on what server I created my character.

They added a report rmt button to the chat box in 3.4. That's all it took to kill it.
You can change servers but there are restrictions to it. Biggest being it costs like 20 dollars or something.
You might be better off just starting over on the server of your choosing. Just depends how far you are, I suppose.
I'd say yes to helping but I'm not on Ultros with GAF D:

I have not gotten a single RMT message ever since the feature was implemented. Good fucking riddance.
Yo machinist is a fucking BLAST, definitely maining it hard

Like a previous poster said, I'd just start over depending on the level you left at.
If you're on Ultros, join the GAF FC and I'm sure people will give a hand where they can. Luckily during leveling there's not really a lot of need for help though.

Yep. I matched one number once.
All my numbers this week were even =.=
51/240
I don't have what it takes to do this before reset
bury me with my lore tomes
So I just came back to Eorzea after a long break inspired by Alex Savage. Story spoilers ahead I guess.
So let me get this straight. They're getting rid of Minfilia and I'm still stuck with fucking Alphinaud? I'm going to get all my missions from this loser for the rest of the game's life? Is Yoshida trying to help me understand the Scions' struggle by transporting me to a realm of indefinite suffering?
Whats wrong with alphinaud?
I never got the hate. Despite being young and perhaps a little too idealistic I felt like I got more stuff done under his guidance than under Minfilia.

I find him pretentious, annoying, and generally unlikable.
