The general player base needs to improve

Ok...?

I actually like your reply...that is siggy material. But this doesn't apply to me. I don't even know where to begin to respond to this. I never said I was unhappy with anything. I don't 'use' the playerbase for anything, I help other players that I'm grouped with if they need/want the help. To be fair, let's clear the air right now - I don't 'need' the playerbase to get better just so I can clear. I am more than capable of getting the clears through a party finder should I choose to do it. I don't need to be carried through anything. I don't want to be carried through anything. Much like many of us who do participate in endgame content, I will spend the time to learn a fight and then I will clear it.

I want the playerbase in general to get better, not for my sake, but because I feel that it can and should get better when it counts.

I want an open discussion on this, which spawned this discussion thread. Mayhap before you make a reply like that, you actually read many of the replies I have made recently. It's not hard to click on my profile link and look at just my responses.

There are two students, student 1 and student 2.
Student 1 and 2 are both passing their lectures. However, student 1 is passing with high grades. While student 2 is passing with lower grades. Student 2 is happy by just passing and don't care about getting better grades.

It is exactly the same situation in-game. Some players are happy with just clearing content, while others want to clear content with high performance and try to do better every time.

The only difference, your performance in-game will affect the entire team.

You cannot force people to play on the same level as you, and you cannot make them better players by giving them harder content. They might just quit or wait until they overgear content to clear it. They might as well ask for content to be nerfed.

The difference between a good player and a bad player is the time they spent learning.
If the player has no motivation to search/watch/read guides and learn from them, they won't get better.

To those who say that the player base is not bad. The dev team themselves have acknowledged that the player base is, in fact, performing below their standards. Which explains why they are trying to make content easier, and even trying to simplify rotations.
So just because you had an expert with no deaths/mistakes, it doesn't mean that every player in that party was good (I don't want to go into deep details about this).

In the end, everyone is playing to have fun. But don't put yourself in situations you are not suited for. By doing so, you're ruining other players fun.

Sorry, I am just now getting around to this, but I love this comment. +1
