    The players(collectively) have an enrage timer.

    Despite it being a obvious money grab, I also like to think the weekly lockouts/caps also serve as a collective "enrage" for the whole player base. Think about it. Another week, another piece of Gordian/ Antiquated gear. As time passes by, content gradually becomes "easier". Eventually, it gets to a point where, even if a player plays their class to the bare minimum, they can clear content due to being over geared.

    I know I'm not the first to describe this phenomenon, but I think this magic point should be called, "The Player Enrage Timer".

    It's called overgearing content.

    I tell you the true player enrage.

    It is when the said player refuse to do specific boss mechanism in a light party dungeon where it is universally known it is their job, because they are busy doing their job, and start screaming and swearing to the point of almost crushing their computer be it PS3/PS4/PC.

    I regret bringing this player to play with me even though I know him longer than most mainstream MMOs in the market.

    >_> I actually have a friend like that lol It's gotten to the point where bringing him with me is holding me back from completing content, but I don't want to be a jerk and leave him out :/ Theres only so much you can do after giving advice and all that.

    Then you know how I feel.

    For me I just left them and started make excuses if they wanted to do something with me, playing solo now is much better, but on the plus side this guys friend is on the game and he is cool.

    So yeah you > them, help them when you can but don't be extremely selfless lest they will take advantage of that even what you would call a "friend".

    I think people have forgotten that everyone must first understand mechanics and have high DPS output to burn a boss and ignore the incoming mechanics. They've begun to just skip straight to burning, even on first-time runs.

    But there is no need to swear and scream as if the player did kill someone dear to them,

    Regardless of that today we did the same boss (2nd boss in Fractal) and this friend did interact with those glass tube to summon the add.

    Oh, no, there's never an excuse for that. It's frustrating when you die, yes, especially when it's because people chose to ignore mechanics. But I've found that parties in which people begin to swear at you are the parties that won't perform well at all. Everybody's in a bad mood because of the hostility, and they under perform.

    One or two people spoiling an entire run is definitely sad. My enrage was always Scylla. People never understood that different alliance received different numbers of ice/fire balls that needed to be shared amongst the entire group.

    But when I constructively point them to the right direction they refuse especially from a so-called "friend".

    For me I am free-spirited, even if a friend wanted help and I wasn't in the mood or busy doing whatever I flat out refuse to help them and the way I say it to them depending on their character, passive people I just apologize, aggressive ones I say it to them in a direct way.

    Player Enrage would be for those that go "If we don't clear this in two attempts, I'm quitting". Sadly, unlike boss fights, Player Enrage fluctuates, typically between 5-30 minutes.
