How to give advice

[alimdia]

Less about criticism and more about how the person in the group thought they knew the ONLY way to play BLM correctly.

My mindset? Are things dying? Y/N Is everyone alive? Y/N If you answered Yes to both questions, then just have fun. If you answered No to either or both, then maybe look at ALL the players and not just one, and adjust things.

Again it's a group activity, you can't demand 3-7 other people to adjust because you don't want to learn how to play (aka not wanting tips).

I don't condone people being jerks, but regardless of how nicely they would have given advice OP already has a stance where people should ask for his permission before commenting on his gameplay and that's the mindset I don't get, it simply doesn't work with team-based content.
