Speaking for myself, I don’t expect 100th percentile play. Honestly, no one here does, I don’t think. The insinuation that we think anything less than 100% isn’t enough is inaccurate, in my opinion. Perfection is unobtainable.

But when I give advice to someone clearly struggling, it’s very annoying to me to see them blatantly ignoring it. Especially if it’s something that is causing the party to wipe. There are also some environments where players shouldn’t be giving other players advice on the basics of mechanics and job rotations; the players should already have an understanding of both. Of course, I’m referring to Extreme trials and Savage/Ultimate raids, here: content that requires competency and a higher standard of play.

It’s fairly easy to tell when players are trying to put the advice you gave them into action, and when they are simply just ignoring you. The latter is extremely rude, and it’s one of the many reasons why people no longer want to help, but instead opt to say nothing, leave, or kick the offender.
