Tbh. I do agree with OP when it comes to the fact that people should consider the way they offer advice but also on the other side the person receiving the advice needs to consider that mid combat usually nobody takes time to be super polite. Most recent time I have spoken mid combat was 2 days ago in the copparbell dunge when we had undergeared combo of both tank and mch. Tank didn’t flash at all(nor used much of an aggro combo) and single targeted stuff with smn and mch in party. After initial try at communication in English (use flash please so you don’t loose aggro) I used the ‘translate’ buttons and literally typed in ‘flash please’ type. My friend typed in same thing five mins later. Nothing. I ended up spamming medica to tank myself because anything I wouldn’t do I would still end up tanking so I may as well as do it well :P got comms from both tank and the mch o.O. That was one of the weird runs. But yeah I usually don’t hand out advice on rotation or skill use unless it is key element to the fight. If it relates to aggro I am more insistent when I am a healer. Otherwise I usually just move on. More often than on rotation you will find me handing advice on mechanics especially if their badly execution caused us to wipe (but then I usually have plenty of time to explain what happened and what needs to be done and why) or well, if I have a bonus message I ask at the beginning if someone wants me to explain mechanics before each boss. Usually it is a yes’s and those runs are waaay more smooth than the runs with ‘all pro team’. On that note from receiving side I do agree with constructive criticism side. I got advice just yesterday ‘try not to die’ on extreme where everyone involved knew I had no idea what’s going on as I was new. That doesn’t really help me. On that note dear op, I will tell you one of my best duty finder stories. I levelled arcanist with aim of it becoming a scholar. Went on a break came back and then didn’t want to heal so I rolled with summoner until I reached 70. And then I ended up doing 70 roulette and one of the newest dungeons in the mix. I have a really good tendency to type in message in any instance I am not sure of ‘Hi! I am still fresh to the place and the class! Any advice welcome!’. Then I realised that I had another smn in a party. What followed was summoner basically pointing out nuances of a job that I was not doing optimally and thanks to him I shifted my rotation quite a bit. But that took me being open minded and whole party being patient when we stopped for like 30 seconds after a large pull or a boss fight. It was genuinely my best dunge experience up to date
