Also "Taking on a role. Playing that role how you see fit." No, when you take a role you play the role how the role is meant to be played (Because a role is that, a set of tasks that you have to do), this game does not allow you almost any freedom when it comes to skills and gameplay, you can't choose specs, stats, skills, etc, you're have a fixed set, therefore there is a good way to play and as whole bunch of wrong ways, you break your combo? you are playing bad, you don't use mitigation? you're playing bad, you don't dps as healer you're playing bad. Not only that but the "Play how I see fit" is the most selfish thing you can do, you're on a multiplayer game if you want to do whatever comes to your mind play a single player game but if you're with people try to not make their experience a living hell.
