Your macro comment was also very misinformed and confusing. Macros don't play the game for you and I don't know where you got that from, or if you're making it up. Macros are very helpful in a fight where you're rotating stuns with other players (notice how I said helpful, and not necessary) because they'll let other players know that you stunned. If by macros that "play the game for you", you're referring to using two skills with one macro, that's a useless macro because it gets in the way of weaving.

Lazy and rude are not fuzzy/subjective motions. Refusing to play better when you have the ability to do so is lazy. Rude can be more subjective, but you and I both know that "hey, let me give you advice" is not a rude statement.

Extend the benefit of the doubt? You're acting as if people that make suggestions are looking at other players like hounds, just waiting for them to mess up so they can waltz in and speak to them. It doesn't work like that. When you have a lv 50 job and are proficient at it, it is EXTREMELY easy to tell wen someone is doing something they're not supposed to be doing.

We all have an infinite capacity to learn. I've seen that a lot of green lv 50s make the mistake of thinking that they know enough about their class to not take advice. No one should ever stop taking advice, and the earlier we put our egos aside and at least consider the advice of someone, the sooner we'll all be better players.
