The number of bad players are rising!

If you need to ask that you probably should not be playing an MMO.

This is an online multiplayer game. Everything is centered around playing with other people and not all players pick things up on as quickly as others, some need guidance. It is integral part of the MMO dynamic. And people who have no compassion or patience are the people who create toxic communities within MMOs.

Not saying that is you, or the OP for that matter. But just keep that in mind next time someone in your group is struggling and your sitting their rolling your eyes thinking "come on dude get your shit together". Give them a chance first.Offer direction and advice and you might be surprised.

Dude, I understand what you're saying. I enjoy helping nice friendly people that really needs help. The issue is that people try to make it out like it's an obligation to help. Not everyone that needs help is a friendly newbie. You get taken advantage left and right. Helping at times, requires hours of your time depending on content and the persons learn rate.

To be fair though from the other end of it. I'm a pretty quick learner coming from other games, I'm pretty much brand new. People have been pretty helpful as I've been going through the leveling process. I have however dealt with a few people that just seem extremely hostile towards me for sheer factor of the fact that I'm new, before every boss fight in a duty for instance I just ask "Hey is there anything I need to watch out for" or something along those lines, I don't want the group to wipe. I don't want to be the reason the group wipes. Ya know, it's really easy to just be like just get the candles in the corner or make sure and get the cannons when the dragon shows up. But every now and again you get someone who just turns into the assiest of asses for no real reason. I dunno I had a point and then I kinda lost it.

And that might be where I would draw the line. I think it's important to make the effort, but the helping hand need only extend so far and at some point it's up to them to try and meet you half way.

We've all been there, banging your head against the wall because the person isn't getting it or better yet isn't receptive to your help or thinks they don't need it when they clearly do. That's when you turn around and head out the door.
