To add onto this.

Also people in general also view their way of learning and their ease of learning as the benchmark for how others learn. So someone who picks up the game and is a natural at it, finds it hard to understand how someone can spend hours on trying to learn the game and not get to where they were when they started the game.

It also goes in reverse. The player who struggles to learn the game, can't imagine how someone can just instantly pick it up.

Logically of course most people realize this. But in the heat of the moment, you fall back on "why can't you remember to use your cooldowns?" or "why do you expect me to fix my mistakes instantly?".

And then to vent all of the above since you can't really vent to the player in question, especially in this game, players go to forums to let it out. And since players aren't as likely to tell their successful easy runs online, it can easily paint a picture of it's a widespread problem if the player base is large enough. Because typically only a minority of players will use a forum or other such social feature.
