Things to think about before you call someone "Bad"

[Hamada]

The original shows one player making moves that are incoherent within the framework of tic-tac-toe, such as drawing a single square in four spaces. Video games, by their very nature, are too rigid to allow a similarly incoherent move to be made. The best you could do is not participate or try to deliberately wipe your group, and it's incredibly unlikely you'll find any substantial number of people who would disagree with a kick in such a situation. However, the appropriateness of the response of the player who originally suggested tic-tac-toe is contingent on the degree of deviation by the other player's actions, which cannot be matched in FFXIV. Instead, what people are complaining about is a combination of 1) failure to carry out intended action or 2) suboptimal intended action. Instances of #2, even when still adequate to clear the content, are generally not exempted from this complaining. This makes it clear that it really is about optimization and a failure to adhere to whatever arbitrary standard the complaining player tries to impose as they try to play the duty police, as it seems that many players think the only reason anyone should play this game is to make an active effort to not just be good enough for the content they're interested in, but to be as good as possible, and they consider any other motivations or ambitions for the game to be invalid.

No, look people are posting the original because of (but not limited to):
1. Standing around doing nothing, as in not hitting any actions
2. Doing glaring incorrect actions, like never using heavy shot, hot shot, heavy thrust, dots, not using AoE when there is 4 + monsters, like how my girlfriend will comment on RDM not using scatter in large groups, making the run going slow.
3. other things that cause runs take 50%+ longer they need to.

You make it sound like people chew out others for casting stone just as aero falls off leaving the monster not have a dot on for a second. What you are implying does not happen. I get a feeling you are posting like you are from being told what to do in exact orders or something like it is common, it really isn't. I do not think you should be using a single experience with someone and come off here acting like it is the norm.

1. Are they a new player?

2. Did they recently change their UI/Binds or both?

3. Are they having a bad day or are they feeling sick?

Could be any of these things or more preventing someone from performing well. and to be fair most of the time I find it is.

I do not call people bad, my GF does not call people bad. What does happen is advice is given, and when followed, the run tends to be smooth from there and we move on. When they snap back with stuff like "you do not pay for my sub" they get kicked and we move on.
