Why is the time of competent players of so little value to you? In my example the PF I joined was essentially asking for a conpetent team to carry this new RDM through to get their sword. Several competent players joined,myself and my cohealer included. Why is our time and effort okay to waste by people joining a PF they clearly aren't ready for? I've helped many a learning party through Susano and Lakshmi and when it's stated it's a learning party I don't mine new and underperforming players. This was not (supposed to be) a learning party.

If everyone had your mentality of "lol its a game chill it doesnt matter" how would anyone reliably clear anything? You say you don't like to be called out for poor performance - I welcome it when it's based in facts. I look back at things I've run when I can and try to improve. I would rather be kicked from a party I'm holding back than be the cause of 7 othet people not achieving their goal assuming the goals and expectations were clear from the beginning.

You seem to imply towards the end of your post that the RDM amd host of my PF group were somehow unkind or impatient for being frustrated by clearly underskiled players joining their PF which explicitly stated they were requesting experienced players. If you call a cab to take you to work and get in only to have them take off in the wrong direction is it acceptable for them to respond by saying "lol its cool im taking the long way, you'll get there in 40 minutes" when you know it should only take 10? No, because the expectation that you're going straight to work is there. That is a reasonable situation to become frustrated at. This is no different. Why should that RDM have their time wasted?

Also on a semi-related note RDM is so heavily proc-based it's one of tge easiest DPS to perform decently. I don't know how your "RDM is hard" comment relates to any of this discussion frankly but I felt like you should know.
