You guys seem to be saying that if they are making the dungeon run any longer than it needs to be there going to get kicked. That shows the game is more important that the person to me. I just pointed it out to you is all. Nothing personal.
I am not attacking you for having a different playstyle with regards to myself, nor did I inherently assume that you considered the players in this game as nothing more than mere NPCs and not actual people. Merely I am disagreeing with you on the basis that I do not want to carry underperforming players in higher level content (note: I am not speaking about new players in low-level dungeons still learning, but players in later content that should be very well aware of the bare basics of their job and rotation), and what I consider respectful and courteous play. I disagreed with you on your opinion regarding the Thunder Mage frequently brought up in the course of this discussion, and I also disagreed with you that the time of one player is more important than the time of the entire party. Duties are a team effort in this game, and the entire team needs to be taken into consideration, not just the time and playstyle of one individual, underperforming or overperforming.

My discussion about the current state of the Vote Dismiss feature was more of a tangent discussion, and in no way was meant as a personal attack against you nor any of the posters I was debating with. Rather, it was a discussion, which is the purpose of a forum. I do not devolve into personal attacks against posters to try and get my points across, which is what I felt like you did to me in your point to try and say that people should respect others. I have a general amount of respect for any and all people I group with. However, the minute I try to genuinely help a player and they brush off my advice with a "I don't care" or "it's my sub, I play how I want", and clearly do not care that they are a hindrance to the group, that is when they lose my respect. If someone is not going to show the rest of a party a basic amount of respect, they do not deserve the same courtesy in return. Respect is something that is earned.
