I am going to say something unpopular . . .

You could have simply said "don't be selfish" without targeting two specific groups of people. Far more than just anxious and new players cause problems in groups, but for some reason you felt the need to very much highlight these two. While overlooking the ever prevalent and far larger mmo issue of casual players in high level content using the "I only play for fun" card to avoid responsibility and accountability.

I can't help but feel that this post is intended to be addressed to a particular individual rather than some nugget of wisdom you hope to bestow upon the masses. The message in this post feels too specific for that.

Was not aimed towards anyone, and I am not going to pretend to be the judge of what one finds fun verse another. Playing for fun is largely subjective at least in my opinion since that differs from person to person. Though people using anxiety or being new as a means to avoiding certain aspects of the game within a group setting is not really all that subjective in my opinion. Do not get me wrong if someone makes the choice to not want to do something that is fine, but trying to force others to bend to their will is also not right on either side of the fence. Though as you can see you felt it was aimed towards someone which was not my intent, though I did feel if I made this post in that thread others may feel the same and turn the thread into something it was not meant to be. Figured in its own thread by no means could someone feel that this was targeted at anyone person or play style.

I dunno why people are having such bad experiences.
I just never have any, even when someone in the group fails hard or is new I don't see people being toxic.
I play on the EU servers tho I dunno how it is in NA.

I am more or less in the same boat generally I do not have bad experiences within the DF since I mostly always play tank or healer, and if I do queue as dps I bring a friend along. Overall most encounters boil down to people simply taking it in stride though, and that is also not something I wish. If the group wants to go slower and I am going too fast for whatever reason I do wish people would either speak up or just vote kick me out of the group. No one should be subject to playing a certain way they do not desire the game does provide means to somewhat possibility avoid such experiences. Though for one reason or another people rather just take it in stride which is respectable, and also understandable but also does not make all that much sense to me.

Yep, exactly.
