Criticism

[Laerune]

Its all about how one gives/receives criticism. When it comes to online stuff, I have noticed that people tend to prefer to treat others with condescension and not respect. If someone comes to me and gives me feedback (even better if they give tips aswell) in a respectful manner, then I will be open to receiving their feedback, because I understand that they want to see me improve, which inturn means my team improves aswell. Sadly alot of people prefer to call someone *swear word* and demean them.

As for me, I used to deal low damage, I was new and not used to DPS classes (I prefer healing), so my friend who noticed it, asked me to meet near one of those dummies and gave me feedback in mature manner, like how a teacher gives feedback to a student. Part of me felt bad, because I sucked at doing my job in the group, but this friend gave me a nice pep talk, then he gave me tips. I took his feedback and improved myself. I reckon if my friend came to me and demeaned me and then gave me tips, I would probably not followed his advice.

Afcourse there are those that wont accept the feedback, even if the sender gives feedback in a respectful manner, with those players nothing else can be done, you either kick them out or ignore and deal with it.
