What with the short fuses?

[Foo01]

What is with all the impatience and short fuses? Why go off on people and start yelling at them?

I know it was just Ifrit HM, not all that hard, but if you got new SMNs who don't know how to properly use the LB on the nails... so what? A couple more wipes and they will probably get it right?

I was the healer and the tanks had to sort out who was going to be the main tank, and there was the lancer that can't dodge worth a darn, and wasted the LB once, but seriously, why would anyone go off on the tanks and accuse them of getting people killed, when it is so obvious everyone is wiping because the nails were not down in time?

Well of course people go off on the tank, and unfairly this time, and surely enough the tanks will bail. And then the other healer leaves, so well guess what, taking that frustration out on other players isn't going to work.

One word.. entitlement. People seem to think they're special and that it's acceptable to treat people they don't know with disrespect for next to no reason. Heaven forbid you waste a few minutes of their time, it's so precious you know.

Impatience due to boredom and frustration? And like the above poster said, they're in a hurry and don't you be wasting their time! :3

SMN seem to be getting alot of hate lately, was on mine last night helping an FC buddy in Brayflox, got in healer saw was SMN and a bard and said "FFS this will never work with a summoner" they then quit followed by the tank....
Some people have the patience of a two year old in game sometimes. I only get annoyed if the person should know better and just can't be bothered

I really don't understand it either. I've never felt the need to shout at someone or be a dick, and thats coming from a tank who's been tanking since beta and had to babysit tons of new/bad players. I've always either tried to help or just stick with it until they learn. Sometimes they don't ever learn, and thats when you politely leave. No need to be a dick even at that point. Just today, I took my friend into his first ever PvP match. A random guy on our team (who was already dead) started laying hinto him calling him names, saying how terrible and useless he was.. :/

Hence, I only run stuff with my FC now. DF is just horrible far too often now. Seems like half the time you get either a group with a player new to their class that gets lambasted by a high level player even though they're taking advice and doing their best, a low level player screwing up left and right and when you try to give them friendly advice they flip out on you, or one or two people that instantly drop because it's not the dungeon they wanted.

[Cyrus-Wallace]

A recent example:

-DPS: (After being quiet the whole run, we WIPED in the last boss of AK) I'm sorry, I didn't do this dungeon in a while.
-Healer: Ask for advice, then.
-DPS: Shut up

People are really over-sensitive nowdays as well. You can't give any advice or anything because they'll get mad. I'm getting reaaaaally tired of people in DF, but well, I guess the extra gil awarded from roulettes is paid because the game knows I'll eventually find dicks or drama-queens. Some kind of compensation.

Reputation and community don't play as vital a role in this game as some previous MMO's. Some people feel they are given free reign to act like **** because things aren't being done the way they feel it should be done.

If they meant: "this sr will never works" and leave, all the better for me. I am PLD, SMN/SCH next and my GF is a SMN, BLM next.

We are completing all dungeons, getting our SOL cap weekly.. getting all the chest, for those who dont have DL gear, getting some gils, some says clearing it completely gives some 0.000000000000000001% chance to get the baby opo-opo..

I don't care. I'm here to enjoy the moment. Speed runners, move fast! out of my way.

And getting seals from DL and then.. getting your peacock/mats.. to up your crafters masters, main hand, or.. to sell on MB.. good way to get extra gil.

I think lots have forgotten the MAIN point of a game: having fun, alone or with friends.

In every MMO I've played, the tank is the first to have blame placed on them in random groups, I know, I've always mained a tank.. Next is the healer, then the DPS that keeps dying or taking too much damage, and down the list it goes.

If people would be more open to the help given to them, and the people giving suggestion/help, a little more tactful in their presentation, dungeons would be a different place, but people too often jump straight to accusation and anger.

A conversation that should be;

Player A: So I see you are using Fast->Riot Blade, it would be more beneficial to use Fast Blade->Savage Blade->Rage of Halone, as well as throwing a Flash in from time to time, that way the healer won't pull aggro as often.
Player B: Oh, I'll give that a try.

Tends to be;

Player A: Hey, don't use Riot Blade and use Flash idiot!
Player B: Don't tell me how to play my class!
