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

*Embraces being a grouchy old man*

It's because people are too sensitive these days. Everything is always an "attack" even if it's just a mild suggestion. I used to try like you too, don't bother now though. I just suffer through.

I play tennis at a fairly competitive level (USTA 4.5) and I regularly get unsolicited advice from random people watching my matches, my opponent, or anyone in between.

It's called people sharing a hobby (in my case tennis). Giving advice is something people do in these situations. Gaming is 100% no different....

Yes it is. You were playing against an opponent. We play as a team. If you are playing on a team and competitive by all means, throw the advice. But, I hardly believe a dungeon to be classified as competitive. Like I said before, it depends on the situation. If you are in a static group, by all means teach. If you are running a dungeon with randoms you may want to ask before you start preaching.

respect for the people you play with.

you have this backwards. you are playing with me not me with you.

i don't know you or care, worry about yourself not me, you have two options vote kick or take a penalty.

I've stopped offering suggestions on how to progress through whatever long ago. People just don't care. It's less hassle to stay silent and let them continue to be stupid.

Then why do the same people care about being kicked from raids when they underperform and are not needed therefore they get removed and replaced?

If you don't care about your performance, you shouldn't care about being kicked either. This is an MMO, raids are a team effort, if one refuses to learn, that's fine, get out of the party.

well, being kicked for any reason isn't fun, and people have to process that. I'd argue people who play for fun over time just ignore savage, because it isn't fun at all, its so srs business.

Ya, there is no issue of me being honest to the community. I do not accept any advice unless I specifically ask for it. You can be Christiano Ronaldo, and try to teach me how to shoot a ball the way you like it. But I like to shoot it a different way. Doesn't matter what I do with my rotation, as long as we clear it, it's fine, with me. If not, I'll do my own research.

Advice is a gift. And if I want to use, I will use. If not, I throw it in the trash.

You are the kind of player who should be shunned. Though, to be fair, you're shunning yourself, and no one else.

It's the world social media has created.
It's so easy to just get into an echo chamber of being told how right you are about everything that there is absolutely no tolerance built up for being told how you can improve and even the smallest tips get taken like direct attacks

even have a couple people like that in my FC, get vote kicked out of things all the time but it's everyone else in the world at fault

OP, the reason why people don't appreciate your advice is because you're a lalafell. Lalafell are just kids.

If you really wanted to be taken seriously, you must be a Roegadyn.

I think this is ignorance.

The sarcasm was lost on you, it seems.
