Especially if you decide to leave when they become rude).
    Usually the ones who are rude are the ones who bitch about low DPS without trying to fix anything. I can count on one hand the number of parties I've just left. Usually after I open dialogue with my partymates we either determine we can't manage with current makeup or figure out what we need to adjust and continue on. I just have this really bad character flaw that when I make a commitment to something, which I consider joining DF to be, I hold to that commitment. Horrible, I know.

    Mhmm sure
    Me - "DPS is kinda low could you use some AoE pls?"
    BRD - "Why? I don't have to and I've don't have them on my Hotbar"
    Me - "Coz you'll do more damage when there are muliple mobs"
    BRD - "I dont want to, you can do it instead"

    Mhmm what terrible attitude I had, you may like enabling this behavior but alot of us certainly don't. Even the suggestion of dps being low is considered havng a "terrible attitude".

    Treating it like a commitment would then imply that you should strive to finish it no matter what (even removing something that would stop you), rather than leave the moment a bump crosses your path. At least, that's how I view commitment. It's also a teamwork environment, where you should expect everyone to commit to their roles as well. They don't need to be perfect (basic rotation should do), but they shouldn't be using weapons 10 levels below the content, nor should they be expecting three/seven others to carry them while they watch Netflix.
