Some people in your class/department are good at the sport, some play it every now and then, and some barely know the rules. If the ones good at the sport try to force the others in their team to play at their level, they're out of luck in two out of those three cases.

You can't use the "barely know the rules" excuse because you don't start this game at level 60 (I mean, you can, but it's not valid). It's not like P.E or a work sporting event where you might or might not have previous experience with a sport. You've been playing this game for many hours to get to level 60, so it can't possibly be too much for me to hope that you're able to carry your own weight and have some understanding of how your skills work whenever you decide to participate in a dungeon.
    Well, we could also humor him a bit. So, everything is done, and you are on your team playing soccer, for examples sake. Everyone takes the field...

    ...one fellow on your team starts shooting at your own net, or kicking the ball out of bounds intentionally...

    ...you say "Umm, hey, we are supposed to take the ball to that net down there and score."...

    ...to which one of the other players yells "Hey! don't pick on him! He can play how he wants! Elitest scum!"...

    ...and the person kicking the ball responds "Yeah, I'm the one carrying you anyway!"...

    That is what the thread is actually about.

    Now, fast forward to level 60, wait, no I meant a lot, like maybe a couple years of playing soccer on the weekend, and that player is now joining drop in groups down at the field, and still shooting on his own net, or kicking it out of bounds. Repeat the above conversation, did it just get even more ridiculous?

    Or once again Malevictions X's and O's img. I would like that to be in the OP as well as at the top of each page to give people reference.
