Why do you fail at Hashmal?

There's only so much help that one can give. Put it this way, even on the occasions when I do voice my help, it's usually drowned out by others ridiculing all who caused the wipe, or there are vote abandon spams, or even rage quits. I'm not even viewing this as a raider, but as a former casual player. Let me throw in another example, one I have used before. In Baelsar's Wall, that second boss with the 'Extreme Caution debuff'...if I kindly explain, after a wipe, that you shouldn't move or take any action as soon as you get hit with the 'Extreme Caution debuff' (i.e. you get three red circles surrounding you), and two further wipes later, a majority of the party still dies to that, there's an issue. Let's not bring up the language, because in those two runs I've had there, they spoke the same language as I just fine. It's things like that that make me wary of offering advice because, what's the point if people in general will not listen, no matter how politely you put it.

It's the same with Rabanastre. In the first month, most people listened because most people wanted to get through the rest of the raid. I'm not suggesting I didn't see those moments with rage quitters, toxicity, and vote abandon spams, because that's pretty much everywhere throughout MMOs. Nowadays, no matter how nicely you explain it, no matter how detailed or how well it is explained, it still happens in the exact same run, leading to most of the raid finally caving in and voting to abandon. One bad night does not equate what seems like Hashmal fights hitting a very massive wall more often than not currently. Granted, everybody's experience is very different. I'm on the Aether Datacentre, so it could be different on Primal, or maybe, just maybe, I'm just unlucky enough to be seeing these runs more often than others. I don't know.

I'm on the same boat with you here. I have given up on teaching and explaining things. I remember some people tried to vote kick me for telling the tank how to tank in World of Darkness. When we cleared I /clap at him and they got offended thinking I was being sarcastic. -.-

I expect them to know what they are doing or research on their own. It's not my responsability.
