Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

Thank god your not on my server, this is the reason why new players have trouble getting better at X content, is because people don't wanna give the time of day to help. I understand make the most of your time, but new players won't get any better if people constantly leave due to wiping a few times.

Correction: people don't want to do the work you shirked in the first place. New content, I can understand people just getting frustrated and wanting to quit. Old content? Everyone - assuming they've been playing for the same amount of time (and this includes the "working class" and "mom's basement" extremes both) - has had equal amounts of time to learn things and practice, or even just familiarize themselves. If you haven't til now, why then would the burden fall to someone who DID learn and practice, and came ready to do their part? THIS is the core of the statement her, not the damn Elitist title being trumpeted around like it's the new "in" thing.

If you admit that you don't know something or can't remember it after a long time, I'm forgiving of that, maybe even willing to help. And let it be known: I am NOT obligated to do that one bit. But, if it's something you never made effort to learn or attempt and near-demand that I help you, I ask why? Where were you when I was working hard to learn it? As for people who leave after 2 wipes, they're either just impatient in general, and that's on them, OR, they are not patient enough to force themselves to try and push a group that shows clear signs of unreadiness, ill preparation, or simply a lack of desire or will to improve, whether instruction or advice is given or not. And that, if you fall in that category, is most certainly on you.

In the military, we called it "Personal Accountability".
