I have never seen this happen in all my years of playing. Is this a thing on the NA servers? o.OQuote:

Yep. All he's done is confirm that he wants us to silently kick people who suck without a single word. Their being denied the opportunity to improve is their problem. I officially do not care now, because trying to help them lets to toxic casual backlash and possible action on my account.

02-15-2020, 10:02 AMUrthdiggerI literally just had a run of Mt. Gulg where a BLM refused to use any AoEs. Their rotation was all kinds of bonkers as well, like at point I noticed them do 3 Blizzard IVs back to back, Fire III, immediately transpose, then Foul... this was on a big pull mind you. There are people who are quite frankly that bad.Quote:

I think something that monitors if people are passing this threshold, a sort of "If everyone else was putting forth as much effort, would you clear?" kind of parser would do more good than bad.
While I argue with the non-parser crowd a lot, I do understand that nobody wants to be in a position where folks are yelling at them because they're not doing ultimate level efficiency in a leveling dungeon. I don't mind if there's no real in-game way to tell the difference between someone doing content-appropriate amounts of effort and someone pushing their all, at that point it's each person's business how hard they wish to push themselves based on what they find fun. However, I do think if someone desperately needs to learn how to play their class, it's useful to be able to tell who it is. -
