Please be more understanding of your fellow player

I think the one for silence would instead be ". . . ." I use that one a lot.l

I always thought "..." was mild annoyance.

"..." to me was always "I WANT to say something, but i will keep it to myself"

I always make sure to greet players with the New Player symbol kindly and offer them help and show them around and such :)
But with every game, you will come across people with a more negativity personality. At least XIV has more nice players than rude compared to most MMOs and online games

It can be a vicious cycle and I really am fighting it.

You just went of your way to refer to someone as a fool. Good job.

I agree with what most people are stating on the thread that you do see issues on both sides whether it is a new player not taking criticism well or experienced players not having enough patience. That being said I try to help out as much as possible. New players need to realize that many of us just want to help and don't take things too critically but of course we shouldn't help in a douchey way. Same time elitist players need to remember that there was a time when they we just like that new player, not knowing mechanics and getting destroyed. This is a community game and it doesn't serve the community as a whole to act in these manners. We need to all get along.

In a way I agree and disagree. Overall they are, in many cases (not always ^_^) a better player simply down to more experience of the game and mechanics. So friendly advice given to new players should not be met with insults.

Respect is a two way street.

From experience, those who rage the most, fail the most XD
