"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[Purrfectstorm]

1) the OP hasn't said ANYTHING that wasn't said before

Some things bear repeating or can be said in a different/better way.

2) the OP made her point poorly

Maybe I could've done better but I think many people get it. The quote was just a hook, nothing more, and Titan EX was used as an example because it's the most frequent place players claim to have been "out of that." Some think it's a bad example because people have real issues with the fight (i.e. are not lying about lag). However, I never said I doubted their claims or that their issues weren't real. I just said that players will kick players like that or abandon the duty. If you can't stay alive, you're a liability, it doesn't matter why.

3) OP is apparently new/inexperienced to internet posting

Nah. I just like debating maybe

The argument is supposed to be how players shouldn't leech off of others and actually try to PLAY the game instead of having other people play for them.

Well, that's part of the argument. The other part is that if players don't want negative outcomes (getting insulted, getting votekicked, or having the group disband, for example) there are things they can personally do to minimize this; some nastiness is unavoidable (it is the internet) but it's not completely out of a person's control. The same goes for actually beating the content: if you die right off, you're banking all your hopes on other people, if you work on improving yourself you gain some control over your chances and increase your odds.
