Okay, and that's the way you play the game. You can't expect everyone to play for the same reasons.

Moreover, trying to offer advice as to how someone could improve their play isn't rude in and of itself. In the example that we are going back to, the offending BLM was asked why he was just casting thunder, and decided to respond with snark - as a result, the BLM got themselves kicked.

There is no obligation to extend courtesy to another player who refuses to try.
