Unjust Kicking from Alexander T4

[Dracosavarian]

Snip.

So the basic gist you are saying is...you don't have the patience to literally type out a few sentences on a keyboard...we'll use Crystal Tower Part 1, Final boss for example...and do this?

Ok, final boss. Basic Rundown: Dodge all aoes, claws will appear and snag players. Kill claws. When he starts Casting Flare, run to the platform I mark and stay put. Mob will appear while the shield is up. Kill it. That's it in a nutshell.

Or Ravana for example...

Basic Rundown: He changes stance. Stance change will screw with your targeting so be aware. Do not stand where the MT is ever. Always keep your back to a fence at all times or risk being knocked off like Titan. When he summons butterflies, all players save MT must each kill their own individual butterfly. Moon take priority. Burn them down asap. Healers, at one point he will mark his targets, 1, 2, 3, 4 with swords. Be aware that this is the order of attack he will hammer people. OT, be aware that at one point, no matter how much hate I have, he will turn and absolutely pound the living daylights out of you. Be ready for it and use your ult if you have to. Healers, be aware of that. Aside from that, dodge aoes. Any questions?

Both take me less than a minute to type out.

Seriously? Typing out that much is a hindrance? Really? You are honestly finding doing so little, to be such a huge problem? Doing so little is a waste of your time? Or others? Has the world grown so meek that literally moving your fingers over the span of a keyboard is a source of frustration now? I'm at a loss for words...

If the player is repeatedly wiping the raid, even after you have tried again and again to explain, fine, I can see your point. But realize, watching a video probably wouldn't help that player out that much to begin with.

I'm sorry...but...if you feel one minute of that or even 5, is forcing players to wait...I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't take a lot to help a person understand the fight. It truly doesn't. I do it all the time.

As I said, if you have issues with that, I view it as arrogance. Your time is more precious than their own type of scenario. In a game of all things. A game. Seriously...

No matter how much you boil it down, it always culminates back to the person who holds that view in the end. Hubris. Pride. Arrogance. A sense of "How dare they waste my time"

If you expect chaos in DF, you should expect new players who ask help. I don't know what else to say beyond that. To act untowards that person when you knowingly launch into DF expecting bad things...well...*shakes head*

In the end, I would always, ALWAYS take a new player who genuinely wants to learn vs someone who watched a video, says nothing, and repeatedly wipes the raid anyways.

I appreciate that you are being kind in your words and taking the time to explain your position, but I do not agree with it. Nor will I ever. Because in the end, the result is the same. You don't want to help. You are tired of dealing with it, or whatever reason...and don't want to take the time that basically amounts to 1 minute or 5 minutes at most, when it could prevent a great deal of frustration and rage to begin with.

Why? Why cause a self inflicted wound? Such things make little sense to me. *Shrugs* But then again, I always try to help people. Because in the end I'd like to always think someone would return that kindness to me.


But...I've said my peace and the consensus of my thoughts remain the same. I wish everyone well, and for them to take care and Good Luck in all that they do.

Take care all and be well.
