A reminder to everyone about generational differences

[Jojoya]

the OP came on here and started this whole generational rant and pulling up college statistics about how dumb we are.

Where did I say anyone is dumb?

I didn't. I said life experience is different and that is causing problems when people don't take that into account. Just like you currently are.

As an almost 28-year-old "Zoomer" (yes, that is how old some Gen Z are now) it is genuinely pretty out of touch with reality and borderline offensive to assume we've never seen a clock or twisted a cap or a screw...

I'm not making assumptions. I've have talked to players that have said they did not know certain terms, such as clockwise, until they started playing the game and someone else had to explain it to them.

Also note I never said all of GenZ and GenA. It's on you if you choose to assume that's what I meant.

Let me requote something from my original post:

I'm not interested in those who want to argue that one generation or the other is dumb, wrong, messed up or whatever. I'm just pointing out that the differences exist.

Those differences exist. As someone said, it may not even be related to age but other factors.

But some of those differences are definitely age related because some of what was commonplace 50 years ago are almost never used anymore or in a few cases no longer even exist outside of museums and archives.

Instead of automatically telling someone they're dumb for not knowing something and that they shouldn't be playing the game, perhaps try explaining what they didn't understand - of course assuming they have the courage to speak up considering the number of people in this thread who are blatantly calling people stupid and incompetent for not knowing a certain term.

I'm fairly certain the players in the example I gave (and it was just an example, not a point for people to tunnel focus on) are neither of those things when they're progressing on the 6th of 8 Mythic raid bosses in WoW's most recent raid.
