Stop Player Bashing

[Nepharite]

Often it is the way in which that advice is given.

When somebody says: "You're a bad player because you don't do this or that", I'm likely to not listen to them. Great Guardian is good though. He's very good at giving helpful advice to others without sounding condescending towards them.

You can only attempt to offer correct advice so many times before its pointless.
After that, its about making the player with the incorrect mindset look bad so others don't follow their example.

Some people won't change their mindset no matter how wrong they are, so others try to make sure the correct info is out there.

It's not up to you or anybody else to make people look bad just so others don't follow them. Why don't you let people make up their minds for themselves? I highly doubt most of you actually "care" about most people who play the game anyway. You're going to do what you do and they're going to do what they do. Like-minded people will stick together. You don't need to make the extra effort to make others look bad. People like me will just sit here and think you do it just to make yourself feel better. No thanks.

That's really stupid. It is up to people who know what is right to make sure that people who are wrong are not listened to nor followed.

Whatever. I don't listen to egotistical pricks who think they know better than everybody else and who think it's their job to make others look bad.

Even when they actually do know better than you? Btw, weren't you going to bed 20 mins ago?

Yeah. Because if you're going to be a prick to me, you've automatically given me a reason to not respect you. If you don't show me respect and you belittle me, then I have no reason to listen to you, even if you're the most knowledgeable person on this earth about the game. That's why I like Great Guardian. He treats people with respect when he gives them advice.

The first page or so of replies to you in any thread I've seen you post in have always been relatively polite, they simply disagree with the things you've said that are blatantly wrong. It's only your stubborn refusal to see that other people are right that is causing people to become frustrated with you and make fun of you.

You don't need to respect me, to listen to advice that could improve your gameplay.

If i offered you million dollars, would you refuse to take it because i was mean to you?

Btw, please don't let us keep you up all night. It's important to get a good nights sleep before class.

Some people want to be the best that they can be and look to forums like these for advice. If they get bad advice, then they aren't working towards what they want.

If your so into letting people decide what they want, then why do you care so much about this? You seem to be taking this rather personal, I haven't done any bashing against you.

Also I do a lot of random pickup stuff and I'd rather have the random people I do things with have a basic understanding of the game mechanics.

Getting false information is never ok, it skews what people will think on things.
