Considering hanging up my shield due to high level haters.....

[AprilNz]

So, the high level players in this game are starting to grind me! Don't get me wrong, by no way is this the majority, but the minority tends to be very vocal and belittling.

To give some context, I'm an ilvl 62 tank, and enjoyed levelling up my character immensely. This game has been great, but now I am into the high level dungeons and primary, I am getting a sour taste on my mouth about the whole game.

When did it become mandatory to watch YouTube videos before a fight? What happened to enjoying the game and learning the mechanics? Are these people who only started playing games after YouTube was invented?

I am in no way a terrible player, nor am I the best. I always tell people if I am new to a fight and most of the time, people are fine. But these people who vilify you for being new are ruining it for me. And I am sure I am not the only one.

When did games become about speed running and kicking people after one wipe. Why.... Dear god.... Why? Haha.

Maybe I'll just hang up my sword and shield and craft instead. Am I the only one who finds this happens?

i'm on the complete opposite side of the fence, i find it silly not to check out information if its available.

people have to be taking these things way out of proportion :s

I agree with this to an extent. I think tanks should have some idea of what a dungeon has in store since they pretty much make a break a dungeon run. Is it fair? Not really, but unless you're in a group of all new players a lot people aren't going to want to take the time to hold your hand...especially at end game where everyone has already run these dungeons 100+ times.

Because no one want to wipe for hours upon hours when they already know the entire fight just so someone can take their time to learn it. The design is bad because there's many unforgiving mechanics and rotations.

In all honesty, the over dramatic thought of wiping for "hours" is part of the problem. Think about it for a bit. If the player can't figure out the mechanics of a generic dungeon fight after a few wipes (which isn't anywhere near a single hour), even with the help of party members, chances are a video would not have helped prevent the multiple wipes/deaths. It would have lessened it... maybe... but the initial outcome would likely be the same. For a quick learner, the video may have prevented a wipe/death... or maybe just reduced it to once, but is it really that big of a deal to lose out on a few minutes? Clearly, a number of our peers think a few seconds of their time is equivalent in importance to finding cures for diseases, but we generally look at them like we would an obnoxious adult. Acknowledge they exist and don't expect anything meaningful from them for their entire life.

Are we talking about easy straight forward dungeons or real end game?

And this is why we have so few tanks around :P it's a game ppl need to relax if you die in game your real life will still go on. And if your running with random players never expect a perfect run {maybe in a perfect world things work this way} but in any game you will run into bad or ok players. If your looking for a perfect run well that's what party finder is for.
