Did you know not performing as you think another player should in a group

I remember the old days when I first started playing MMOs. People would take there time. They would talk. It was a social event. It was an adventure.

I wanted to comment on this wistful nostalgia as someone who has also been playing MMOs for a long time.

While it was great to be able to binge games like iRO, WoW, and XI back when I was in high school, the fact of the matter is that I grew up and I can't invest that many hours in the game per day. I place a much higher value on my time now as opposed to 15+ years ago, and I that seems to be a pretty common mentality. The average age of MMO players nowadays seems to hang out around the mid to late twenties and people of that age demographic are going to have full-time jobs and other responsibilities. Not everyone is going to want to spend an hour doing something that can be done in 12 minutes.

I will happily make exceptions and offer advice to people who are willing to learn and improve, but no one should be expected to sympathize with obstinate dingdongs who have no respect for other people's time (such as Destatiredux's BLM, etc).
