Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

[Elmeron]

I don't care if it bugs you. I think you are lazy and selfish. You want someone to type out to you what everything means, instead of googling the abbreviation and reading what it means. Please link one video for any of the raids or dungeons FOR THIS GAME that include language or abbreviations you do not understand....You're correct, I think you are not being truthful. The videos usually tell you exactly what the name of thing the boss will cast, show you what it looks like and tells you where to move. How can that not possibly help some? even if you do not understand a word or two? Please ...it is you you who is the elitist, you expect to be carried and don't give a poop how you might be hurting the experience of others...selfish

And I think you are a rude elitist (yup, since this is what this thread is about, it describes you to a tee!). I don't learn the same as you and that makes me lazy and selfish? You are a jerk, plain and simple. Also, I don't want someone to explain everything to me. I said I learn better when someone is there to explain things to me. It's pretty pathetic that you throw out insults at people because they don't learn the same as you do.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way you learn, and absolutely nothing wrong with the way I learn. Everyone learns differently, and if I have nice friends and an FC who are willing to help me learn in a way that is easiest for me, there's definitely nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong with judging others for not being able to learn the same way as you though.

You are being dishonest...please link a video that uses language you can't understand for this game.....crickets. Please explain how knowing what is going to be cast, when it will be cast, the visual triggers and seeing a successful completion are not helpful? There is no way that seeing something successfully completed doesn't help. Describe to me to me why that wouldn't help at least a little, I want to understand. Some video are better than others, I usually watch more than one, now that I have watched some, I know who makes good ones and I watch those. Would you be interested in who makes the better ones?

It isn't like any of us who watch the videos go perform flawlessly every time. The encounter starts to slow down with every attempt, practice is certainly more important. However, the knowing what is going to happen when, can help prevent you from make stupid, easily avoidable mistakes, allowing you and your team to get deeper in your attempts sooner. Avoiding those early wipes allows you to practice the later mechanics more often and sooner before the timer goes out which is absolutely critical to a team of non experienced people having a shot at completing something like Titan EX before the timer runs out.

There is so much to be learned from watching videos. A very long time ago(years) I learned how bad/slow it was to use my keyboard to turn. I learned how slow mouse clicking abilities is, If you are looking at buttons it crushes your situational awareness. I learned how to design my HUD in such a way as to be able to see all the critical information in one spot without having to gaze all over the Screen(IE near where my chr is positioned) I learned the value of a multiple monitor setup. I learned how important it is to focus target the boss so I always know what and when it is using its abilities regardless of who I am healing or targeting. I could go on and on. What I am getting at is that there is so much to learn by seeing how others do things, I question whether you have even tried and just spout off "I learn differently " as a lame ass excuse.

What is your problem? Seriously, you need to just accept that not everyone learns like you do and no amount of replies is going to make me agree with you (especially when you repeatedly call me a liar, seriously, you're beyond rude). Go foul up someone else's mood with your toxicity.

Considering you turned out to be lying in your own rant thread a few week ago and was revealed to be overly hostile in that particular event you ranted about, and then cussed this guy out before you edited it out (I saw it) and then in another thread you made you were throwing a tantrum about SE's promotional contest because its basic criteria isn't to your liking, have you actually wondered that you may in fact be, unpleasant to be around? Maybe people keep questioning you and pissing you off has something to do with yourself? Just saying.

LOL! Wait, was this the person who posted about witnessing a new player watching cut scene and was alienated by rest of the group, left behind in the fights etc.? Then turned out the new player was actually the OP and he was the one antagonizing the rest of the group because they wouldn't sit on their ass for 20 minutes waiting for him to finish watching a nice cut scene? Then one of the people in the group ended up posting a reply?

Ahhh that was fun!

Actually didn't lie at all. Everything I said was 100% true, I just didn't use names. Plus I apologized. I can admit when I am wrong. Dragging up a thread that happened over a month ago seems a bit sad though. Holding a secret grudge or something?

Nah, I was there to see the thread explode.. I'd say you lost a lot of credibility from that incident pretending to be an innocent bystander when you were in fact the very person you were writing a pity story about I don't remember any apologies, but that's not of consequence, you don't owe me any to begin with.
If anything, I haven't properly thanked you for the entertainment

That is precisely what I expected no links, no explanation why the information can't help because it actually does.

Useless, I was requesting links to videos for FFXIV that are so full of jargon that they are unhelpful as that person claimed. FWIW I have not watched a video that was not useful in some way, some are better than other but you can something helpful out anything if You google FFXIV "Name of dungeon/Raid" if you have never been there before.
