The trouble is when that attitude and attention to other people's play instead of taking care of your own play, is extended to normal and leveling content. At Normal and the Hard/Heroic level, people need to learn, and, some won't, but, that is expected by the game designers. Basically, when you start getting on everyone else around you about gameplay *at normal or hard difficulty*...you're being a jerk. Don't do it. Go calm down, or go run something savage/ultimate/extreme where you and your mentality belongs.

I'm a good player, but I stopped running extreme/savage/ultimate *because of* people with your mentality, who won't ease off for new people or low difficulty, and frankly, are always looking for someone to blame for anything at all that goes wrong. I was a raid main tank for 7 years. I know how to dodge things, and, frankly, in leveling stuff in FFXIV, I can carry a person if need be. Don't need rage or screaming at people at that level. Isn't needed, it serves no purpose. Don't do it.

It's only a game. Don't tie your self-worth or the worth of anyone else to it, please.
Funny how expecting a certain level of competency is being a jerk, but wasting their time or insulting them is perfecting fine...

Also wanting to clear content doesn't automatically make it about self-worth, but nice attempt at a strawman anyway.
