Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

So that means people should just put it in no effort? It may not be a job but it is people’s time and enjoyment you are tarnishing by being LAZY

I see we are participating in the time-honored tradition of complaining about people being snowflakes. Here's the thing - unless someone specifically asks for it, nobody wants to hear your feedback. Chances are, the person *knows* they messed up and the last thing they need is you pointing it out. I'm fine with it now but there was a time when I was much younger and your actions would upset me. I have anxiety, learning a new role or job is extremely stressful. Maybe this person was the same.

The snowflake thing always confused me. It's like insulting people by calling them unique. Does that mean everyone else just has no personality? Hive mind? Idk.

Yeah i bet the cure 3 spamming WHM bot KNOWS they are doing something wrong and they just decide to press the Cure 3 button instead of using Cure 2 instead. You are really detached from reality if you think most bad players know they are bad when everyone carries them to endgame and noone says a word.

If you are doing terrible you should be called out because a dose of reality is as good as any medicine and makes you focus again. So next time if you are doing terrible instead of crying that your feelings were hurt find out why you are doing terrible with your skills and how you can improve upon it

Wait, you guys are getting paid for this? Cause that's the tradeoff for not slacking off in my IRL job. I get to keep my paycheck.

Also if we wanted to go with the IRL job comparisons, calling someone out in an unprofessional manner is going to land you in HR's office.

Nice one. I'm not gen Z, though, so it falls a little flat. I'm sorry you are so offended by the idea of someone getting emotionally invested in a game. When I play with other people, I don't want to be ruining their experience. It's that simple.

This thread has a lot of fragile people

I check back in. And I just have the words of a wise, wise man pop into my head. The words of a true visionary. A man so ahead of his time, his words will inspirie people for generations to come.

That man being!

THAT MAN BEING!
