This is becoming a very...big..issue with me these days...so many are "strutting around like peacocks" and that with ego's the size of a planet. >.<;
Starting to think I should just stay as a "stealthy/stalker mentor" - lol

What I would classify as being good is knowing the basics of your class and knowing the content you're in, assuming you're not still learning it. I guarantee that simply taking half an hour out of your life to research how to play your job and practice it will already put you above the average df player.

On the other side, most of the time I or other people I've seen try to help others, we usually get attacked. In my experience, saying something like, "Oh, you seem to be having a little trouble with what you're doing. Try doing it this way instead," will merit the same response as if I said, "You're garbage kid, uninstall." You just can't help people who don't want to be helped.

I will admit though that most mentors, at least the ones I see, aren't even good at this game.

The problem with most mentors is they think they are "Experts on everything"
Responding with "Google it" or "I'm right your wrong"
And if you have proof to back up the fact they are wrong in response? "Gods help you" as they say in-game.

I would add that if you wish to be a good player? Keep an open mind..and make sure you have facts to back up your claims. Otherwise your better off keeping quiet.
And for crying out loud....every situation is not a savage run or a high level raid....if you get through fine..with no losses....and within reasonable time.....please keep your bloody opinions to yourself.
The objective is to get the party through in-tact and to win.
Not to break the ####### world record. (Unless you made a party specifically for that)

Yeah I saw that a lot when I was still in the novice network when it first came out. Although, to be fair, I do believe "Google it" to be an acceptable answer, as long as it's worded properly. Something like, "Oh the answer is blah blah blah, but for future reference it might be faster just to Google it yourself, considering I didn't know the answer myself and had to Google it." So basically, not how it happens in the novice network. XD

How can you be a weeb in a japanese game tho? It's made in japan. Everything in this game is from japan. That's like saying don't be a puncher in a street fighter game where the whole idea is to PUNCH the other person.

Some people can kick. :^)
