Gaming isn't about the process anymore, it's all about the tangible reward at the end.

That is also why we go for the simplest, easiest tactics all the time. Rush tactics. Skipping trash. Enrage tactics. To us, the game consists of just that coffer with the piece of shiny loot. Be damned if you make me move even an inch more than I absolutely have to, to get to open that coffer. Be damned if you waste my time! I wish all of you can be replaced by NPCs who bow to my every wish!

If you want to waste my time, you go back and play your single player games! Multi-player means doing your best to serve my interests!

I'm still unaccustomed to the selfish/rush-mentality of this game.
Very few people seem to have time to offer even a minute of advice.

I came from FFXI, and I'm used to a community where people help each other and want to improve together.
If someone was new we gave them a few tips. If we failed we tried again and offered more advice, until we succeeded - together. We wanted the whole team to win. Communication was important, (unlike XIV where people seem quiet and expectant that everyone knows everything).
In 8 years of playing don't remember ever being in a group where someone was kicked because they didn't know what they were doing - it was unheard of.
It was all about having fun together, not only with linkshells, but among strangers.. It wasn't all "ME! ME! ME! HURRY! YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME!" I never really worried about a reward because I was always enjoying myself.
I must say, I miss the camaraderie and team work of 'the good old days.'

I can't say I blame the selfish/rush-mentality on the players alone though. I believe that the game was designed in such a way that it was bound to happen.. If people have to do dungeons 10s or 100s of times to get the gear that they want, it's an environment that will breed impatience.
(Not to mention, the reason I hate dungeons..)
