    I think the problem here is that many forum goers seem to have it in their head that everyone who plays the game should automatically know everything.
    If her friend was fairly new to MMOs and Dispel simply wasn't a word they had encountered before, then of course she's going to get confused and panic. If the person who is asking for that dispel then starts screeching and spamming and being agressive then yes, that is an issue.
    It's not hard to have basic manners/communication skills:

    1: Dispel!
    2: what?
    1: Use Leeches on me.

    1: Dispel!

    It has nothing to do with whether the word means this or that. If someone does not know, then they don't know.
    Tthe first few times I did dungeons and I saw 'lb' pop up, I had no clue what that meant. It seems obvious now of course, but you can't just blame and insult someone for not already knowing everything.

    You can't cross server pf for deep, and I disagree that we have to use that because of mass toxicity. The PF was not meant to be a work around for mass toxicity and even yoshi-p said before, DF IS NOT MEANT FOR SPEEDRUNS, so do not go in deep, expecting people to have the same mindset of speedrunning.

    That is not exactly how it went. As explained several times, "dispell" was first asked for in a rude/sarcastic manner. (keep in mind this followed a few floors of asking for assistance to kill something that went ignored and refused to even communicate well , saying "?" frequently, to something that was asked, like her monster call out macros.)

    "dispell genius"
    > I do not know what dispell means
    leeches
    leeches
    leeches
    leeches
    leeches
    *vote kick*

    Keep in mind this was on a petrifaction floor and may of not saw a debuff that lasts for 5 seconds? and saw nothing during this spam. Also during the chat spam, everything was dead by then.

    For the meaning if "dispell" all she played before was ffxi, so dispel = buff removal off the monster. "dispell" is not in this game so to her the only job that has it is mnk and other moves like it (that I do not know off top my head atm) But yes you have the general idea, I do not know why so many did not get that.
