Players Who Don't pull their weight.

Yeah, that's really stupid. That's a whole another thing, but let's be honest. It doesn't happen often, or does it to you? I don't know, to me it rarely happens in fact that never happened to me before. Sucks to hear it happened to you however.

[Rytank]

Yeah wow that sucks I feel ya I took a two month break and am still working on my first lore set, yes I'm very casual. That's the kind of attitude that makes me sick. N I like the idea of *matching rating by SE that would take the toxicity out of it, not sure how they could do it but.. sounds like an upgrade to me. N I main pld so as a tank I'm sorry, n that's why we get a bad rep. We're not all meat heads I promise

OP

If you can learn new stuff going forward with minimal to no need for communication, I recommend trying a JP Data Center, the Japanese always try their best from what I've seen. I recommend the Elemental Data Center where you're least likely to run into the problems you're having but not saying you won't run into them, there's a fairly large community of certain type of individuals on at least 1 server on said Data Center that will most likely grief and ruin your day. You can always try Gaia too, I WOULD recommend Mana but honestly. . .I don't want the unfortunate 1/1000000000th chance of running into you in DF. . . I'm waaay too casual, you might intimidate me with the awesome pro-ness oozing off your character. . . ><

I can tell you a horror story. Had a tank on my expert the other day that didn't like me not being in 220+ gear in every slot. (218 nin, 225 drk, casual player, felt like dpsing for a change) they started accusing me of 'refusing to gear up' (apparently running my roulettes for lores is 'refusing to gear up') and 'wanting to be carried'. Then saying how they would run out of cd's and die because my dps would be to 'low'. They than sat at the start and refused to move, demanding we 'get the ___ out' and threatened to kick us if we didn't.. willing to wait the 15 timer to do so.

That's ridiculous and reportable at the same time. EX difficulty drops i215 gear, even being at 210 is considered overgeared for this instance since the minimum is 200.

In all situations, people need to be more sensible on what's to be expected out of people. I don't get how people can jump to the conclusion of being on the extreme of one side instead of making a reasonable judgement call in the middleground of putting/understanding the basic fundamentals of the game at level cap, and expecting savage-tier play otherwise.

I know your pain. I main a drk. I sometimes encounter healers who dont heal until the group is at the brink of death or dps or attack separate enemies from the main group

[LunaFaye]

I always say to myself, if I ever tanked or healed the way other people run specific dungeons, we would never make it out of the first room. With that said, when I run lets say expert on my dps and see that after 2 or 3 pulls, I pretty much dps alone cus the other one can't be asked to put 5% effort in the run, I'll slow down as well. We will be in there for 6 hours anyways. No point in even trying.

I hate carrying people who won't preform. It seems unfair to myself and everyone else who puts the effort to maximize their play time by carrying someone who refuses to put in the effort to be penalized for it.

This might come to a big surprise to you, but you do not carry people through Duty:Ex or any other DF content. I'd even go so far and say that my 12 year old sister could do a decent job tanking a Duty:Ex if I explained it to her (and fantasia'd into a Lalafell...).

There is only one way for you, since your approach of 'educating' people really comes across as strange in content that is really, really easy. Make your own PF group, make it iLevel 235+ for your daily content. Maybe you find people whom you are willing to make a static for... Duty:Ex. I am sure you can push the 10 minutes mark that way and are able to gloat about that.

He doesn't and if he do wanna carry people, he should do it like me, getting paid for it. I'm far from being ashamed carrying people on content, why should I do it free? If you are horrible or super bad, you either pay it or just hope you find like minded people and probably never gonna down it.

[Mattelot]

You think I'm joking but I've made a note of your name. Made a mnemonic even. "Mattelot not dps a lot" so it's easy to remember.

How will I ever sleep at night?

Trolls aside, I agree with the above, contrary to what the elitists will tell you, you don't carry people through DF/roulettes. Those who over-gear it love to think that's what they're doing. Elitists love finding or inventing reasons to be condescending. They forget that they were new too once.

Elitist/elite player is only a word(s) made up by players. When a person tell another person how to play better or improve, the second player goes in whine mode and call them elitist. When they can't beat content they cry even more and tell other people how shit they are without realizing. Not even joking, it's pretty much true. So sick and tired people saying elitist. When 99% of the players here ask for a decent gameplay we talk about some good standar not top notch, but then again the people put words in peoples mouth and say we expect 2k dps in roulettes and shit. How boring it is to discuss with people who look at the wrong direction and make up things. /yawn.

To put in in the other way, just because you got told to improve or well had someone being nice telling you how to improve, doesn't mean a person is elitist or whatever people say, they are there to help. Yes most people are aware they were once noobs, but when a player refuses to improve over months and many tell them and not only 1 person, guess who's fault that is? Not the douchebag elitist person you speak of, but the person who just sits there and want everything free.
