Level 80s who single target groups of mobs

Video games are hard, and some people learn at a slower pace than others. People who focus on metagaming tend to gravitate towards other genres like arcade games, or non-arcade competitive games like MOBAs, or anything with a focus on twitch reflexes, rather than role playing games.

People often stick with a playstyle that has suited them well. Or may have a different philosophy of play than others.

Also, a lot of people can be pretty rude and demanding when it comes to giving others advice. Just as often as people are defensive when given advice, others are offensive. It's a chicken and egg situation. Maybe people are sensitive because they've had people rude about their playstyle in the past? I mean, you don't exactly sound the most polite yourself, right now. Is it really that bad to spend 35 minutes in a dungeon? A little patience in life goes a long way. I think roleplayers and Gposers often have the right of it, in that they often live in the moment, instead of feeling like they have to being in a rush at all times.

XIV gives you the tools to avoid players who are slow or don't have optimal DPS if you so choose. It sounds like you may prefer developing a static that reflects your standards.

Yes. Yes it is. 20 minutes is what you're looking for as a timeframe for "people played poorly, but it's not worth getting upset over."

35 minutes is beyond egregious. It means not a single one of the four people were doing their job.

a static for a dungeon ? People who are tolerating bad gameplay like this are actually a huge problem in this game.

This excuse has long gotten tiresome. It isn't difficult to press an AoE combo sequence over a ST one. All you need to "learn" is reading your tooltips and have a grade school understanding of math.

I want to counter this for a moment, because like on all instances we have in online communication, many people default to reading something in a rude and/or condescending tone.

Read this "Hey, do you know you can use flare?" How did it sound in your head, was it rude or was it friendly.

In a duty you don't generally have time to make things super sugary or add 20 emoticons that imply friendliness, sometimes you need to be direct and to the point. So it falls on the person on the other end to interpret it as they will. And let's be honest, many people, esp those who already are insecure or have a victim complex, read things in a rude and condescending tone without even considering otherwise.

I am firm believer that 90% of internet interactions would be better if people did not default to immediately assuming they were being talked down to.
