Not actually thru GF technically, but someone on fleet was looking for people for Dread Palace, I haven't done it so I mentioned that and that wasn't a problem apparently. Well I guess I should have left the group shortly after the "group leader" was asking where I got my relics and after I told him where he still had trouble finding them. I inspected his gear and found something puzzling- half of his gear is tank gear, he is a mara... His bonus damage was quite pathetic naturally.
After we get a full group together we goto Oricon and I make it there and we have someone who has done the op before and the "group leader" took us to the wrong spot, he had us go inside where I think the dread fortress op is. The guy who actually knows the op requests he transfer group leader to him for obvious reasons and he agrees, but wants to be the assistant...
Oh and we were going to do the 8m version, he had it set to 16.
We start the ops and all is fine after the guy with experience explains fights along the way and the Mara chimes in with wrong information to which the other guy corrects. We do ok until we get to Calphayrus, the ex group leader went in the wrong portal and I was thinking to my self, seriously? I didn't bother running into the past portal by myself, just let myself get killed and quit the group. I believe the Mara must have been a younger guy and I am confused to how he managed to hit level 60, I did actually point out he was wearing half tank gear (we were looking for a tank, so I made a smart comment) and he said he got confused with the adaptive armor
