Motivation for raiding

[XxClavainxX]

I hate to be that person, but its not anybody\\\\'s fault except your own if you can\\\\'t get into raiding due to experience. There are many ways to help with learning, and you have to put in a little backbone and legwork to get started. Raid finder exsists and I see lots of good results from it on the forums, I would suggest giving it a try if you want to actually get involved in raiding..

Snip.

You are correct, people should be able to accept criticism. I welcome it. If I can improve, please let me know how. I think you are being nieve if you think that\\\\'s how it is presented a lot of times. It\\\\'s the flat out rudeness and ***** attitudes from the community that are the issue. If I talked to other adults at work the way I see people talking to each other on this game when things go south, I would be out of a job in short order. Because you can hide behind a keyboard, it does not give you a right to be an ***.

This is true, when raiding you need to maintain a certain decorum in dealing with other players. And some people have no sense of that decorum.

I like to think that I am fairly patient in raid groups when I join them. Others see me as elitist and snobby, but this is generally from the people who not only underperform but also do not learn and chronically wipe us to the same mechanics for hours at a time. Or do not take time begin and ends times seriously. If we start at 7 I will give you until 7:10 then rep you unless you give me notice of lateness. Not me being an elitist, that is on you. You can be as nice as pie but when you are eating dirt for a couple hours and the person wiping you is laughing and shrugging because it's "just a game" and I only do this for entertainment" it gets super annoying and sometimes you just have to be a jerk to get them to straighten up or just leave.

I was the same when I was in retail management, I would work with you and train you to my best, but if it's not your priority, you just refuse to learn or you just do not take things seriously I am going to be the worst boss you ever had. The only difference is in this game I have no HR to worry about so language can be, we shall say, more colorful if needed.

So the not being an *** has to come from both sides, not just the so-called elitists. If raiding is not for you due to w/e and you are not going to take it seriously you need to remember that not everyone is so aloof when it comes to endgame. And since this is a constant struggle for raiders our patience can be worn a bit thin sometimes
