"Nice Players"

[e90guy]

So what is the proper way to react when someone wastes your time?

It's you who is wasting your time by using DF and have false expectation of other. Create your own FC and only admit people who meet your expectation. /story

It is not "false expectation" to expect a level 50 to know how to play their class, sorry.

knowing everything about gear and how to a win a fight and taking the time out to help people in a polite way and show/tell them how to do things right while letting them practice when you tell them until they get it right is wasting nobody's time.

Why do people act as if good players have an obligation to help bad players but bad players do not have an obligation to spend time researching their class and learning how to play?

no one said it was an obligation to help someone else out just as no one here is obligated to even play this game or post on these forums. Kinda like you're not obligated as a "bad" player to do research on your job. or a good player not being "obligated" to teach. I shall now invoke the Good Samaritan law!

So what is the proper way to react when someone wastes your time?

Depends on many factors.
knowing everything about gear and how to a win a fight and standing by throwing insults at people who are still learning is wasting everybody's time.
knowing everything about gear and how to a win a fight and shouting insults while telling someone who is learning is still wasting everybody's time.

This is doubly ironic. For someone who doesn't care, you sure are unable to show it. About every thread I click on you're showing how much you truly do care. <3 And you're bitching about people wasting your time as if whining about it on a forum isn't.

Lets just say if the only option you can come up with when you encounter bad/mediocre players is 'L2P F**** IDIOT', you should quit games that involve playing with other human beings.
You can stay silent. You can offer tips. You can quit the instance. There are plenty of other ways to react 'when someone wastes your time' rather than violate the ToS. :P

And I encourage anyone who is at the end of this or even witnesses it to report the harasser. They're so desperate to save themselves 5 minutes, let them get a 3-day ban to give them some perspective of the time only they wasted by being a douche.

I can't imagine what public school would have been like if every teacher screamed obscenities at me for every question I got wrong on my homework...

Yes, some people whine about mean people but only tell you half the story so you don't see the things they did that would legitimately tick anyone off, but trying to say being mean is some kind of excusable (and the only) way to teach is just silly.

No sane individual ENJOYS losing to a COMPUTER.

You will bow to your computer overlords soon enough. Skynet is upon us.

If someone explains to you a factual reason as to why you are wrong, take the advice, and do it right.

This is the problem. The "factual advice" usually comes in the forms of namecalling and telling the person to leave queue. This doesn't teach players of lesser skill anything other than that player was a douche.

Video games are the most serious of serious business. Blah blah something about sheeple and superior intellect blah blah... Reminds me of when I used to play some online fps and some guy raged and literally uttered the words, "It's not about having fun, it's about winning!"

Real talk: If you are getting mad at other people playing a video game with you, perhaps you should consider a single player game, or at the very least, just doing premades where you have more control over your player experience. At the end of the day, It's a video game which has no impact on your standing in real life. Chill out and have fun.

Some people should have this above their TV or PC screens graved with stone. I you are not enjoying why continue doing it?
