"This is my playstyle" is a poor argument for being bad.

"But this is my playstyle, I pays my $15" *runs off edge, last boss neverreap*

They walk among us

Funny... we were talking about this exact thing in my FC last night. It is like going to the movies and saying "Its my $10 so I can play with my phone the entire time." You waste your own money and ruin the experience for everyone else.

I don't expect the best from everyone. I don't expect the best players to always be at their best. I have been playing MMOs for almost 15 years now and I have seen terrible players become decent just by taking the time to learn.

Also there is no excuse for being so bad the group cant complete content. Back in WoW my wife and I joined a new guild and we ran a Kara raid. One of the healers was of questionable skill level... seemed a bit slow to react and NEVER typed or spoke on vent. We finished the raid and I asked an officer of the guild what was up with the guy. Turns out he only had use of his one hand (kind of) and his head so he was working his mouse with his chin. If a near complete crippled person can function as an almost ok healer (at least good enough to do most content) then pretty much everyone else has no reason to be totally useless.

Another example of "its my money I can do what I want" would be most golfers. Most of them are just doing it for fun... they will never be pros and they are cool with it. Many of them are drunk and/or high. However you wont see them teeing off with a putter while 7 people stand there waiting for them to get the hell out of the way. Do people tee off with a putter? Yes. Do they putt with driver? yup. Do they do that while screwing up the game for everyone else? No.
