(Rant Post) Why Does It Feel Like Giving Advice Is Evil?

[Crystal_Raven]

Yes, because unsolicited advice only occurs in the work place, right?

Look, if you're being paid to do a job, and you're doing it poorly, then yes, you can't complain about being told what to do. That is just the nature of paid employment in results-based businesses. Yet when it comes to a game, a leisure activity, or a hobby? Yes, that unsolicited advice is very rude, which is why you see more negative reactions to it than positive. It's really amazing that in social games (like MMOs) that so many players (the advice givers) cannot grasp this basic social tenet.

A job as in DPS job, Tank job, healer job.

Seriously it's not that difficult to make that connection.

If you are terrible at it, you will get advice, especially in the harder content.

Would you rather we simply kick those who aren't up to par than try and teach them?

I'm ok with both results.
