And your entitlement about it ("Plain fact is...") is degrading and unnecessary.


As far as I know, nobody has claimed that DF doesn't affect you. Taking less personal offense to someone playing their character in a less efficient manner is not saying "let it go, the way they play doesn't affect you." It's saying, "You have three options in these situations: 1.) You could be a leader and a role model, 2.) You can ignore it and play the cards you're dealt, or 3.) You could be a jerk about it."
Fact:a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true:

True: fates can be run starting at lvl 1 and can be ground all the way to lvl 50.
True: starting at lvl 50 you can go straight into ct to farm i80, i70, and myth tomes for i90 gear.
True: most fate farm areas for people grinding to 50 are done in decent numbered zergs and thus require little effort on the part of those grinding.
True: it's very rare for me to see a ct run where people aren't killing skeletons right beside bone dragon, dropping comets on iron giant or behemoth, or ignoring napalms despite at least one person per trip giving instruction before each fight. Personal experiences vary, but given that I've done well over 100 ct runs at this point, I'm going to go with the idea that experience doesn't lie.

So far I've yet to see where what I stated ceases to be a fact. My beliefs on how players at lvl 50 should know at least enough about their jobs to do their jobs does not affect the facts listed above. In regards to your idea of my "getting insulted" by people who don't play as well as I do. I'm not insulted by those people, I'm that guy who joins random titan hard runs with my zenith weapons to help random pugs. I couldn't care less about people not knowing the game as well as I do or not being as good as I am. I get agitated by people who run around in i90 gear and getting the party wiped for the fourth time (not choosing a random number, I've seen in plenty of times) by making the exact same simple mistake because they're so used to not having to try that they just don't want to, or they're so used to not having to try that when they have to they don't know how to. The vast majority of my ct runs have resulted in my alliance sitting in front of KB trying to convince at least one tank to MT or OT because none of the tanks can, or none of them want to because it's so much easier to stand by the tower and do nothing. This of course just being another fun example.

If you've actually read all the posts, btw, instead of just skipping to the last one and reading it then posting, you'd notice that several people have actually made the comment "the way they play doesn't affect you", though their wording may vary somewhat.
