Ego is the problem.

You see posts saying that players should help out others who are struggling, but when you try, irregardless of how polite, respectful and tactful you come across in giving advice too many either outright ignore and continue the same or throw back abuse. Then players posting that others should help and wonder why many stopped bothering.

I asked a geared DRG why he never used Heavy thrust, which he didn't at all, not even once. So was kinda intrigued, he went all caps locks on me. So I gave up. "I JUST DONT!" was his reply.

So why bother giving advice when more often than not it is ignored or met with aggression?
