Tactful ways to inform people that they're playing badly?

[Nora_of_Mira]

You realize the post you quoted wasn't really talking about a hypothetical crappy level 80 DPS right? He was talking about you being catty with a new player on the forums... a new player who by all accounts tries to be the considerate player you claim to respect. Deflecting to justify your poor behavior here is petty... and I agree, probably indicative of your behavior in-game too.

Which explains a lot... explains a lot of the posts here of the heroic vet players "trying" to help the lowlife, unappreciative new players.

you will find that the community in-game is a lot less toxic than the forums and is generally more helpful, assuming you find them/join a good FC or linkshell.
