Duty Finder and troublesome players

[Chinsim]

I'm on the PS3 and typing is a nuisance.

I'll generally respond to greetings and simple yes/no questions with emote actions. But otherwise, nothing. If my Husband is playing with me, I may route a response through him (PC). And unless necessary... I never bother responding to or acknowledging a rude player. They're just not worth the hassle. If they'd like to throw a tantrum or rage quit, I'm fine waiting for better company.

So far though, I've not experienced anyone take issue with quiet game play on my part in Duty Finder. Though I have read that some people penalize quiet players when considering commendations, which is unfortunate.


I seem to have offended players out and about by not responding immediately to personal chit-chat. Often I'd be in the process of typing a response when they get snippy and run off.

But over all, not worth fretting over. And there are an awful lot of kids (of all ages) playing, so the lack of decorum and sportsmanship isn't all that surprising when it occurs. And I have no issue playing with players who don't speak English. In fact, I generally prefer it.

Trust me, when you have to explain something to a person and they do not understand english you will have a problem. Generally I stick with a dungeon if I get it and do not rage quit or get rude, but if a person can't understand me when I have to explain something to them... well they are wasting my time and their own.

A funny thing that happened to me once. I joined Halatali HM and the healer looked at me, guess he didn't inspect me or look at my hp since he left... or perhaps he did not like healing warriors since there are bunch of warriors that do not know how to play the class.

In my case its irrelevant. Playing with a PS3, I wouldn't take the time to type up an explanation to begin with. It would just tick off other players as its time consuming and I can't keep my character mobile while typing. And personally, I'm patient and don't mind having to slow down for other players.So if it takes time for them to figure things out, I'm alright with that. And more often than not, another player would beat me to it anyways.


I could understand the frustration of selecting specifically for English speaking parties and getting placed with a team of players who don't speak English. But I don't and don't feel any need to do so.
