The Terrifying Attitude of Duty Finder

[Attelia]

And then we wiped. Nobody said anything. We wiped again, because nobody was hitting the generator. And the complaining began, but nobody asked exactly what was happening or who should be activating the switch. They didn't bother to actually communicate; they just complained. That's when I realized that all the responses I got ware not meant to be humorous. The people speaking were just being rude. Even when someone finally did hit it, one player made a sarcastic remark along the lines of, "Wow, that was soooo difficult".

Really?

I'm not asking for a super-chatty run -- as a matter of fact, I think the amount of times we've had to grind the content in this game has made people less sociable during runs because they just want them to be over with -- but basic communication about why we're dying shouldn't be off-limits.

All behaviors listed in this thread are prevalent in WoW, except this one. Why are people in this game so tight-lipped about mechanics?? In WoW, if someone said they were new, you could at least expect a nominal breakdown of mechanics. Recently, I had a Dzamael run with a new tank. The healer elected to explain each fight with "Dodge" or "dodge the stupd (sic)." He was also the type to pull ahead of the tank, so maybe not the best example.

So how about them Steps of Faith? I fail to see how in a party of 7 people (and me, 50, doing it for MSQ) only one person actually knows about the mechanics of the fight. Any attempts to explain the fight are met with DEAD silence. People repeated the same mistakes with each wipe and we couldn't two-man the mechanics (because I suck qq).

I could probably write an essay about my (overwhelmingly negative) experiences in the Chrysalis.

This silence is really killing me. For all of the negative attitudes attributed to WoW players, you could typically find at least one person in a run to explain things for new people. You used to, anyway. I think MMO communities as a collective are shifting to the "screw noobs" "gogogogooog" attitudes.
