The number of bad players are rising!

You look like Quincy and You sound like a Quincy

As I'm not familiar with that anime series, I'm not sure whether to be insulted or not. :P

This is a subject that isn't black and white.

Personally, if a new person asks for help (I can't count how many titan HM and relic carries I've done with/for strangers), I'm all for it. I just hate when it's expected of me simply because I'm a better geared / more knowledgeable player.

I totally agree.

You have run sellers that ask for help, then they go charging other players for help. Do you help them?

Never participated with people who sell runs. I also refuse to join any FC / LS that sells runs.

Agreed... This is a bullshit thing that shouldn't be done... I won't even carry someone... I'f you want to be carried then you don't even wanna put in the effort to achieve your goals...!!!

Why is it that good players are always expected to teach bad players?

If you ever need anything please don't
hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all, I was here first

Compassion isn't conditional; either you want to help someone just because, or you don't. Like I said, some players have it, others don't. I can tell when people aren't putting forth an effort; when they haven't prepared for content; but that doesn't mean I won't say anything to help them. All that does is hurt yourself in the end. If you can explain a fight or recommend food buffs or a different rotation for their class, why wouldn't you?

ask the gm that gave me 2 hours in jail for offering a blm that was struggling in t4 after the group disbanded. i got reported for harassing them by asking them questions to find out what they were doing to try and help them. since then i don't help anyone nor offer any assistance.

edit: i need to add that i'm not saying i will not help, but what i am saying is i won't go out of my way to offer help anymore. if someone asks how to improve i'll spend hours helping them if that's what it takes, but i won't offer help to anyone that hasn't asked for it anymore.

since i went to jail for asking simple questions and stating things such as "on the aoe groups you can really increase your damage by using fire 2 instead of blizzard 3" i don't offer to help people unless they directly ask for help in shout, fc, ls, or say within hearing distance.

i keep seeing these kinds of threads, the kind bashing other players, saying there arent many good players, or saying the community is toxic, or just complaining about the community in this game in general.
please, i implore u. all of u actually. go play TERA for a week and experience the scrubs there before u judge the people here. u think this community is bad... have u got no idea... lol

Yes a large percentage of the TERA community is toxic but in among them are MANY MANY extremely helpful and kind people. I know this because I am in a guild full of them and we make it a point to help new people in the game. The community on this game is on the whole a lot nicer than TERA I will admit, BUT, there are still the people who THINK THEY ARE GOOD and everyone else is bad. I personally never complain about another member in any group I'm in and I have infinite patience because ITS A GAME and everyone learns differently.

Some people learn by seeing,
some learn by doing,
some people learn fast,
some people learn slow,
some people have crappy computers,
some people have crappy internet providers.

The one thing we all have in common is we all want to play the game and even if sometimes it isn't said out loud I'm sure that everyone I take the time to help appreciates it. I don't help people for any other reason than it gives me pleasure and adds to my gaming experience to do so. I also believe that people who run to the forums to post about BAD players insinuating they are good players are showing they aren't as good as they thought they were.

Might honestly just be Crystal Towers.

I know half the people in my guild just screw around in there or go on jobs they never played at endgame before.

For alot of people Crystal towers is just too casual to be taken seriously. More wipes in there with my FC then we have in Coil due to people screwing around. Just watch more time then not it is the people with allegan weapon dying to stuff not the people wearing garudas or Ifrit weapons.

Even when goofing off in CT our tank beats the next highest PUG on DPS, it's embarrassing how bad some of the players in CT are.

It's called compassion. Some players have it; others don't.

I am sorry, I have 0 compassion for someone who can't even read their damn abilities and passives. (About 80% of Duty Finder)

^ We are suppose to have compassion for these type of players

We look down on these.

Apparently if you are someone who looks up a fight before hand, try to min/max their characters, use food buffs when needed, or do any sort of research into the game - you get crucified by the community and are told to lighten up and enjoy the game.
