Why are standards seen as a crime in this game?

[AxlStream]

People still quoting me pages and pages later, wow, get a new hobby.

Don't like that I help scrubs ? then either close your eyes or move on.

I do what I want to do, not what you want me to do.

Nobody owes anyone an education on fight mechanics, I CHOOSE to help idiots because I WANT TO, you can either be a little scrub and receive help or be a quality person and offer assistance.

And yes, not wanting to contribute to the solution fundamentally makes you a part of THE PROBLEM.

Why are you all scared of receiving a rude response for offering help and I'm not ? probably because my responses pack quite a bit more punch than anything a constantly dieing scrub can muster.

It's not we are scared really. We just stopped bothering. Negative reinforcement ya know. Also if your responses pack as much "punch" as you claim, you can easily be reported and suspended.

If you dont like the people are end up in a party with you have many options

2. Blacklist or Block so you are not in a party with them again

Not quite:
While blacklisted players cannot join your PF groups, they can still be sorted into DF parties with you.

If someone responds to my attempts to assist with a response clearly indicating help is not welcome: "EFF OFF! I'M NOT SPEEDRUNNING FOR YOU!".. Then I'm done. I can either remove myself from the situation or shut up and deal with sub-optimal teammates. I'm not scared, or being a part of the problem. I TRIED, which was already more than I'm obligated to do.

LOLWHAT?

Oof.

Standard should just be what's more efficient. That's how it works on every other game and is why we have "pug strats" for PF.

and it is kind of subjective, I mean up to which point should we consider efficient and which point is below efficient
everyone have their own judgement, one scenario might be efficient enough for a set of group, and the other group might only consider the top 1% first clear raid efficient as standard

I mean I have standards and havent been arrested so its got to be you my man.

I suppose it's a bit of an over-correction to the WoW community where it's not unusual to tell the rest of the group to kill themselves at the slightest sign of difficulty.

If you were criticized for giving helpful advice that's unfortunate, but given the choice of the two I much prefer the FFXIV community.

Yeah I think I'll take ffxiv even though i still don't like interacting with people ingame (thought thats just a personal issue)


My ex gms screaming tantrums would probably be enough to convert anyone, had I bothered to record them.

The Mogtomes event really made this super clear in PvP modes. People don't try at all, Rival Wings or Frontlines they just don't. I'm honestly over that already but if you try and make calls and tell people not to jump off the cliff into a trap in Shatter, suddenly they'll start insulting you, calling you "tryhard" or saying you care too much. I don't point out that you care so little so why ain't you showing me the same respect ? Instead they'll cry cry cry that you are caring too much and use "tryhard" like it's an insult. Hmm ? Why is that the case ?

[FenyxRising]

Because despite the calls of "toxic elitists" - in reality, there is no one more toxic than the casual playerbase.

Especially on this forum.

thank you, this is exactly true
