The Terrifying Attitude of Duty Finder

[Sapphic]

This silence is really killing me. For all of the negative attitudes attributed to WoW players, you could typically find at least one person in a run to explain things for new people. You used to, anyway. I think MMO communities as a collective are shifting to the "screw noobs" "gogogogooog" attitudes.

Whereas I find it that some cases where you do explain or give tips that zero notice of what you wrote is taken anywho. There are plenty of players who play badly and are not receptive to any form of advice whatsoever which causes a knock on effect of making others think why bother trying to help when it just gets ignored anyways? Like the other day, a DRG in DF, not once did he use heavy thrust, I asked why he didn't use heavy thrust at all as it makes his damage higher. Zero response. Same with a BRD who never used his dots or Minuet throughout the whole run and zero response when asked about it. Get enough players like that in succession and the will to help falls.

If you had non receptive players for 10 DFs would you be willing to try it again with the 11th? Most won't.

Funny enough, a tank in an A4 rage quit today and called the rest of the group scumbags after we pointed out he wasn't soaking orbs, not in a rude way either, just saying, "hey this just happened." Before that, I noticed he was having connection issues, which I figured was the case (and things happen). He then gets super defensive with it and proceeds to do nothing and eventually wipe us.

I honestly don't care if people are having bad connection issues being the reason for a wipe, I get it, it happens. People were just making an observation without much snark. It gets really annoying when people start to argue about it in the middle of an encounter. I mean, really, argue before the pull or after, not during the fight. I don't get into arguments like that, as it doesn't serve anything but to mess with the flow of the group. I just want people to do their damned job. Criticism happens, and it can suck, but I don't go out of my way to ruin it for everyone else. Apparently acting maturely is hard for some people.

Some peoples Egos are oh so fragile.
