You say that pretty casually. I personally dont like almost wiping on Titan Hard, or taking an hour to complete a dungeon cause other players refuse to address pretty easy fixes to gameplay that would drastically improve performance (such as a tank using a CD when pulling 3 or more enemies). Or that the way you complete a mechanic is doing x and y.

No one is suggesting you give a step by step breakdown of raid strats for sastasha. Theyre suggesting when a problem is present to address said problem when you have the experience to do so.

If you know the feedback is faulty, why not say something? Why just remain quiet? Same with observing an issue.

If you get a "no", that's the end. Any additional advice is unsolicited and confirmed to be unwelcome. If you get a "yes" then suddenly the advice is solicited and you can go absolutely bananas. When i give advice, it is under these circumstances. Though in general I prefer people to just be quiet and play.
Or We can just cut to the chase and say something instead of tip toeing around something cause "How dare someone tell me something that might help me! Who do they think they are!?"

This kind of mentality of "Be overly polite and courteous" gets in the way of actually getting things resolved. What's so hard or bad about someone telling you something and you saying "Thanks!"? Why is it we have to overly couch something simple in meaningless conversation that opens the door for more misunderstanding?

Instead the suggestion is if you dont say anything at all, that you should tip toe, be vague, and be overly 'polite' cause being polite but direct is somehow a sinful taboo, especially if the time and considerations of others is at stake.
