But... the thing i've noticed both in games and out, many people, not all of course, but many, actually remember more often when you're an asshole to them. I'm not advocating that, but it's something i've noticed. Some people are like "yeah yeah ok" when you explain something normally, then forget later. You then berate them about it and they keep remembering you were an asshole to them and that likely triggers WHY you were an asshole to them.

I mean that's true, if you're an asshole to them about it they're more likely to be like "Ugh this person's being a complete ass." than they are to be like "UGH /RAGE. Oh why'd I get mad again? BECAUSE THIS PERSON TOLD ME HOW TO PLAY MY CLASS. Oh well maybe what they told me is goods so I'll look at it." I highly doubt they're gonna get to that stage. They're just gonna remember the fact you were an ass.

I got level 34 gladiator all solo and cover isn't even on my bar since its useless solo. Provoke is however but use that mostly for a range pull move.

Honestly, after reading most of your posts I think I'd chance spending a few min teaching that glad how to hit a button or two to provoke/cover than deal with you in party. Simply put, you're an ass. It's people like you why WoW became so shitty over the years, instead of raging over it try helping out for a change. I mean really, how hard is it to tell them what to use & how to then go about getting exp? And I'm not defending anyone, all I'm saying is cut the crap, if you want someone to "learn to play" so badly, how about teach em eh?

It's not the first way I do things for sure. But for certain types of people, when they continue to not remember and do things right it comes out, and after that, booted. Then they remember whoever was being an asshole to them and why they got booted. Again, this is only certain people. Like the "it's just a game" crowd, sure it's a game, nothing to get upset over. Wasting other people's time on the other hand... doesn't matter if it's a game or not.

Thumbs up for truth.

The op already told him to use provoke...and later he dont want to do it because he dont want to get hit..and at beginning that person agree to be the tank?

It is not a matter of people dont know how to do things,but unwiling to do task that he agree to do...

I can put cure I/II/III, Sac I/II/III, stoneskin II, shell II, protect II, on my Gladiator, therefore its a healer/buffer class right?
