Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[SturmChurro]

And that's the point.

Not putting up a tank stance as a main tank or not using a job stone is more severe than simply underperforming, and there is a fine line for some people to what they will tolerate.

You know what the most ridiculous part of all my arguments in this thread are? I am arguing in general! I might grumble every so often, but I have a very high tolerance for these players! I don't leave unless an instance literally cannot be completed; unless the entire rest of the party leaves, I will stay with the remaining players. If the healer leaves, and even if the DPS players are objectively underperforming, I will pull groups one by one and sacrifice myself over and over so we can slowly progress in the dungeon instead of waiting around. Nor do I EVER kick players, unless they are actually AFK or offline.

Now, that my humble bragging, and added context is over: I choose to tolerate such players, but I recognize when someone is doing it intentionally. Though, as someone brought it up on the last page, I should add, the one thing I have zero tolerance for is the sheer amount of mentors underperforming. These same mentors encouraging bad play. I may have a tolerance, but you know what I don't do? Encourage bad play like so much of this playerbase - which is the focal point of this thread. There is a problem in this community, that allows for griefers, or players to NEVER improve. As if there is no issue wasting other player's time.
