The general player base needs to improve

I healed Shin and Rab at launch as well. I've disbanded two Rabs (one of which was last week) and 2 Shins. In my opinion if your healer is awake and paying attention there is a lot that you can live through and if people are being kept alive (sometimes in spite of their own stupidity/ineptitude) you generally have the dps to clear.


Your antecdotal evidence is completely contrary to my own so at best both are moot points but yours certainly doesn't serve as any kind of reliable reasoning to not tune up dungeons that are going to find themselves in a roulette labeled "Expert".

The point is that they should be something other than faceroll. Letting bad players routinely complete something declaring them an expert is only helping to inflate their egos and let them think that level of play is going to serve them well through subsiquent tiers of content. This is how you make yourself an Ice Mage that doesn't take advice because they think they know what they're doing while they're contributing less damage than the healers.

The playerbase aren't tools to be used to your own satisfaction in order to complete content. If you re unhappy with the level of the players you're matched with then maybe it is time to start your own guild and see if people are willing to play with you.

Starting to think I need to keep this post open in a tab so I can just edit it into all the people making this idiotic argument...

The "if you dont like x about the general population you should only do things in a static" argument is a little dated at this point don't you think?

Don't like zero-DPS healers? Only use a static.

Don't like tanks that pull big? Only use a static.

Don't like wiping over and over to content of trivial difficulty? Well clearly the problem is not the people subjecting you to their poor play - it's you expecting them to be considerate of others! Use a static.

What's next? Don't like Miqo'te? Use a static.

God, it's so tiring explaining the same things to the same people over and over again.
