Yes, yes, we get the message. You're a Bard and you don't like tanks. One of the reasons there are tanks that can't hold hate against you may be the fact that your weapon is higher ilvl than theirs and you given them no chance to build a small hate lead before you open up your initial damage burst which can rip hatred pretty successfully unless the tank has a lead or a good weapon. Not every player is lvl60 ilvl 200, so please have some consideration.Quote:

LOL, my superlative speed reading strikes again I missed these two gems (included above, underlined for clarity)...makes me wonder whether I should scrap my original reply.Quote:

I hate DPS who place AoE circles before the mobs are in place.

For me its just someone who doesn't treat the other players on the team like people - you know, just be friendly, understanding. I'm not going to be unhappy if someone makes a mistake, hasn't learned some mechanic yet, doesn't play their job to the fullest efficiency etc. I'm not talking raids here - with something like Alex there's a minimum expectation to be met - I don't care how skilled you are, if you make someone else feel like crap you hit the top spot of bad player for me.

The only bad players are the ones who refuse to improve, the ones satisfied with mediocrity. I'll help someone who has no idea what to do as long as they want to learn, as long as they try. What I can't stand is repeatedly wiping because of players that won't perform mechanics or fail to meet dps checks because they're playing the game "their way"
