What does it take to be considered a 'good' player?

[Yeol]

We always hear that the majority of the player base (NA/EU) are bad players. What does it take to be considered a 'good' player? Share your thoughts

Rule 1: Don't be an asshole.
Rule 2: Try to learn your class.
Rule 3: Ask for and accept help gracefully.

Rule 4: Don't look down on players less experienced than you. We were all in their place at some stage of the game.

Learn your basics...

I honestly shouldn't have to explain by Expert Roulette why Enochian should be up on a BLM, or why spamming one attack instead of doing the combo is a massive dps loss. (I get these when I tank.)

If you can do basics, you're basically already above average in my book.

Reading a skill description is a good start...

go online and search up the rotation for the class you are using and that will make you a good player. Yes, ask for advice most players are helpful and be positive and accept criticism.

I find it rewarding, particularly if it's my main job, to first try to come up with my own rotation and see what is comfortable and seems to work well for the role. That can enable you to develop a practical understanding of the job skills and how they interact with each other, which is (for me at least) an interesting and enjoyable part of the game.

Regarding good players, the players I appreciate in PF and commend in DF:

1. Know how to hold hate, mitigate, and use cooldowns as tanks.
2. Keep people alive as a healer.
3. Do decent damage as DPS.
4. Execute battle mechanics correctly and avoid taking excessive damage.

and most importantly:

5. Are friendly and helpful without being overly critical.
6. Don't forget that it's a game that is supposed to be fun. ;-)

Honestly it doesn't take much to be a good player.

Actively think and analyze the situation and respond properly.

Keep your gear up to date or atleast relevant to the content you are doing.

Understand that your personal DPS is not the most important thing in the game.

Learn to communicate....don't do stupid things like pull aggro as a non-tank class. Don't make assumptions. Etc.etc..etc..
