How to give advice

[JohnSeal]

I think perhaps the fact that English isn't your first language is negatively impacting your ability to participate in this thread and this post is a great example of it.

Criticism and advice are synonyms. They may not mean exactly the same thing but in many instances they are interchangeable. All criticism is advice while not all advice is criticism which also might be confusing you.

If someone says 'Your DoT uptime is particularly low, if you focus on bringing that up it will help your dps. I used Iron Jaws as I started playing each song when I was getting started on BRD, maybe try that.'

The entire thing is advice. The part about DoT uptime being particularly low is criticism. None of it is 'toxic' or bad in any way though, despite pointing out a flaw. Things like 'omg uninstall scrub' or 'you suck' aren't criticism or advice, they're just rude comments.

I hope this helps bridge the potential language barrier here so this thread can move on. For the record there are a plethora of mistakes in virtually all if your posts that could not be attributed to 'the damn keyboard changing words' so perhaps be more open to the idea that while you may speak English fluently there is always more to learn.

Also, yes, that was both criticism and advice.

Your point is sensed,I understand what you say.
The fact is that everybody got different way to express themselves,nodoby in chats or forum can see faces or hear tones. Like you for example often sound really condescending, maybe your are not but it’s how you sound by writing.
I am not criticising,you can write as you want and you can be a great person that give sincere opinions or not only you know it!
Another person said I sound like patronising, that’s no at all !! Maximum condescending but that’s what she get from my typing.

My point being, if someone want give advices or help that’s welcome but they need to try to make it sound like that!

You know that translate English in other languages some things sound really rude? Auto translate are not accurate tho

Anyway I started replying to this thread when I saw people talking like most of community is bad and duty roulettes are horrors, I don’t think they are!!
You get set back in an instance when the tank can’t aggro 3 monsters or a healer is clueless but if DPS are not competent you go really slowly but that’s maximum boring not damaging.
If you join duty roulettes be ready to find inexperienced players sometimes so people need to live with that.

In anyway I don’t appreciate criticism and I don’t want people to shoot critics to others in my instances, if someone offend or harass get kicked, if underperform I will shut up and be patient
