"Elitism" vs "Casualism"

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Honestly, this is the first MMO I've ever played where people are so adamant with advice, and become so immediately offended if their advice isn't taken.

Back when I played WoW I carried people all the time in easy content. Many people did. The only time people started caring about "bad" players was in difficult content.

Maybe it's the lack of actual difficult content in this game that makes people want to be all serious and critical in the easy stuff.

Well, herein lies the problem.

People don't realize they are bad because we aren't allowed to speak up for fear of offending someone and being reported.

These people then go into harder content, are told they are bad because they can't follow basic mechanics and even the most basic of job rotations, let alone the more advanced mechanics and job optimizations.

Then, they come on the forums and complain about "toxic elitists", and how hard content is too hard and should be nerfed because "I paid for it, and so I should be able to do it"
