I've had tons of horrible experiences in the dunes but you expect dunes PTs to suck. The bad PTs that stick out in my mind are bad endgame PTs.

So my most recent horrid PT was in Lufaise Meadows. You go here normally expecting to fight Abraxas' and Tavnazian Rams. So we get here and decided to fight the birds but for some reason everyone was afraid to take the Rams even though we had a WHM who could DS+Erase+Curaga and I had Capriccio ready to go. This has never been an issue for any PT I've been in. We just took the Rams.

Not this PT... and when our puller accidentally got one instead of us fighting it he decided that the BLM should solo it sleep/nuke style instead of the full PT actually risk fighting it. Well it was taking quite a while and then the BLM DC'd. I decided to sleep it and told everyone to log. The plan was that we would all relog hate and then just come back. Well now we're 15 minutes into the Ram.

Someone says I should sleep and then run it out of range and it would disappear without realizing that with any PT (like the WHM and puller had) this wouldn't work... and it didn't. So I come back to sleep it again. My lullaby is getting shorter and shorter because of the resistance that builds up after a while.

I didn't wanna MPK the group by logging and leaving them all to die to it but eventually I tried after several people had managed to pull hate and got killed like morons (including the RNG that died twice in this process). Now at 15+ minutes it had been far too long. I couldn't keep it asleep for long enough to relog. I died. When I got raised by the WHM (after she died and reraised) I dropped the PT and went on about my business.

In and endgame PT where I'm using to getting 8-12k/hr I managed to make 2k in one hour in that PT not counting what I lost when I died.
