Why people are bad at the game, and why they never learn to play it.

I think you can't deny one thing, if they would increase dmg in dungeons by 100%, it would actually be closer to ARR dungeons difficulty, when the game started.
You can make the old content clearable faster by increasing damage of players, but they didn't have to decrease the damage of monsters to make it easier.
The game is now overtuned, you are almost impossible to kill in some dungeons, even if you stand in every single aoe. The math is not mathing.
Add to that that the vulnerability debuffs are not consistent it seems, 5 stack vulnerability in one duty could be meaningless in the other it actually hurts significantly more. Again the math is not mathing.

You can debate hours over how players should play. But the reality is just there is less incoming damage and even more tools to mitigate it.
And if you don't die, you can't lose, you will think you are doing great.

Some tankbuster barely do over 10% of max health now. You almost automatically HP regen tick that damage over time...

It doesn't bother me a whole lot for it to be empty, but I just can't say "sorry for being the n00b and dying several times...."!

Actually you can (at least on keyboard). When you're in a cut scene, hit return, and the chatbox pops up. (I've made many such apologies.)

Perhaps the OP might of made the title of this thread read: "Why people are so bad to others in this game and why they never learned to play nice".

This has been entertaining. It's slightly concerning though how many people appear not to have been taught growing up to respect other people's time. There is a serous difference between being bad at the game, or even just being casual and not learning your rotation but pressing your buttons vs refusing to even try. You don't have to play at the extreme level, or even be top 50% to respect other people's time. But if you're refusing to learn even the basics of the game and your class, that is disrespecting other people's time, going afk mid-duty without notice or apology after (because some things are too urgent to notify prior) is the same.

I don't understand how you can be all concerned seeing "many" people here stating that they would rather go afk or just not care about completing a run because they enjoy being disrespectful in these threads. Personally, I do not believe that for one minute. This began as the typical "get gud because I say so" thread that is so prevelant in these forums. Your blanket statement that these people here are not respectful of others time in game when you have no proof is kind of accusatory and despicable wouldn't you say? Anyway, Bes out and hope you all have a blessed holiday season.

If I did what you said I did, maybe I'd agree with you, but I was rather more particular with my choice of language. Neither did I accuse people of actually disrespecting people's time, nor did I limit my comments to people "here", I accused people of appearing to disrespect people's time and I laid out some basics of what I consider to be disrespecting people's time. I do see people in game who actually meet my criteria for disrespecting people's time, sometimes it's 23 people's time. But I have as much evidence of that immediately to hand as anyone else, similarly I have as much evidence as anyone else that it's deliberate, so no, I'll not make accusations of anything more than appearances.
