While on one hand I agree with you, but on the other hand this sort of general negativity won't lead to improvements. If anything it will lead to hurt feelings, anger, and possibly people wuitting the game. For as bad as the situation is, the solution is not, and never will be punishing the underperformers. That only hurts the game as a whole. I'm not saying it's okay to underperform or anything, but if we want to see positive change, then everyone involved has to be positive too.

I am holding against it with a few of my friends who frequently go through mentor roulettes:


They report me of a staggering amount of unwillingness from the players there that won't change their ways of playing the class better, even lashing out on the mentors because they feel attacked in their ignorant way to play the game how they want to.
We talk about Summoners who use Bane before applying dots, level 40+ Black mages who still use Transpose to switch between astral/umbral, tanks that don't use their tanking stance because 'it lowers DPS', bards who don't seem to know what songs are (wanderer's minuet included) or even how to maintain dots, Rogues/Ninjas who attack at the front, dragoons that still use single target attacks on 6+ monster pileups, and the list goes on.

They tried. They tried so many times to make those change in a better way. Yet the reponses they received were harsh, uncalled for and just rude against a mentor who only wanted to help.

In the end, my friends gave up trying and stopped caring - They got turned into those glass-eyed people you know from roulettes. The ones which don't care anymore how long it takes, as long it gets the dungeon done, because even the slowest steps get the job done eventually.
