Is it me or has the community gotten worse...

You didn’t read what I said didyou?

I said IF they don’t improve, IF they don’t accept help, IF they refuse to learn.

You can’t know these things unless you give them a chance first.
One wipe = kick, is not giving them a chance.

If you don’t have the patience to give people a chance, just admit it, instead of pretending you’re some paragon of teamwork.

To instead come from a default position of “nobody ever wants to learn or improve, and I won’t give anyone a chance to do so anyway” is the peak of cynicism and elitism.

I don't understand why you would go into such a party - join a training party or a party that is more chill. There's no point for you to join a 'One wipe = kick' party if you're not confident enough to be able to pull that off. Most folks are very clear in the party finder about this. It actually makes me really mad when we warn folks that we actually want to farm and thus don't wish wipes, but there's one player who's consistently wiping the party - the admirable thing for them to do is to step up and go 'I'm sorry, I can't do this right now - my mind is elsewhere, I'll leave.' Not continue to stay in the party, that was specifically stated to be a farm or had those strict 'one wipe = kick' clauses on join up.

That doesn't make the person who's kicking you an ahole, they're an ahole if they chew you out though and publically slam your dps. Folks can be tactful about it.
