Telling a player they should quit? Is that ever justified?

[Penthea]

Hell if I know, lol. Might just be that some people don't like me in general. Which is fine, I guess?

This was said in response to "OP, why are so many of your posts like poking a hornet's nest?"

And a few posts later you then said this:

The fact that you don't dislike me is honestly surprising. I wouldn't blame anyone if they did, however.

This bothers me a lot.

You said that the threads become toxic because people might dislike you...but you bring up controversial subjects that can have very polarising opinions. No matter how pleasant a person is, if they bring up a controversial topic it's going to cause friction.

You made a thread asking about garbage dps, you made another about a person hypothetically being told to quit the game, and you said in this thread that people might dislike you and show surprise when someone says the opposite.

I can't help but feel all this is connected, and judging from other posts I'm not the only one who has spotted this. I'm going to make a super amateur attempt at playing detective.

Someone or many someones told you that your dps is bad, they may have told you to quit the game and/or you got so upset over it that someone else said you need to quit because it's causing you way too much stress and grief. You love the game itself but your experiences with some people in it are upsetting you immensely. Because you can't get validation in the game, you go to the next best thing which are the forums and try to get it there instead. You speak vaguely about your personal situation as if it's a hypothetical thing you are curious about, and when you see much of what you saw in game repeated here you end up thinking it must be because people dislike you.

I could be very wrong but assuming I'm at least close...

Only you can completely remove yourself from an unpleasant situation. Attention seeking with these supposedly innocent thought exercises you make threads about and casual statements of self-hatred isn't going to help you at all. It appears you're going through something bad and to be blunt, what the hell can some random players on the forum do about it? We can't improve your dps for you, we can't stop pve elitism for you, we can't remove you from whatever toxic group you hang out with and we can't stop people from telling you to quit the game.

The most we can do is advise you. And my advice is take your situation into your hands and do something decisive to break the cycle instead of stagnating in the same crappy routine and migrating it from the game to the forums. There won't always be someone else to save you. Sometimes you have to work hard for your own happiness.
