What is a "bad player" to you?

[Gavanri]

In a few cases when something goes down the drain (more than once) the - thought to be or obvisiously in the wrong - player is called a bad player. At times the whole class gets dissed as braindead. Especially hear that often about NIN in POTD (which felt really awkward last time because I as a fresh NIN was the last one standing in a party with 3 NINs and 1 DRK after a wipe at floor 54).

Soo-u... I kind of felt like getting a forum opinion on that.

When do you think someone is a bad player? That he isn´t just having a bad day or relatively new to the stuff? There´s also to consider that some players got a slower learning curve or bad internet connection...

Just curious.

Someone who is not forthcoming about any issues they have, either technical or personal in nature...yet still suks. Despite my often abrasive, and sarcasm laced demeanor in game I'm pretty forgivin of other players in the DF and I do enjoy helpin ppl out. This is a social game, if yer havin a problem spill it, mebbe we can help. So *rambles on* basically ppl who don't communicate, and ppl that don't strive to improve. I'm not askin for the best, or even your best...just give it a good twelves damned try would ya?

I always keep some handy. Also, if ppl keep it clean and honest...these could be productive threads!

Bad player is somebody who refuses to learn or adapt.

If your giving your best effort and at least trying to learn, I can be VERY forgiving.

This.

People who just do whatever they want without regard to mechanics or respect for other players they are with, and refuse to learn or communicate.

I like to differenciate between "bads" and "unskilled/inexperienced". The latter I'm more than willing to work with to help them improve. The former get on the blacklist and depending on the extent of their behavior, reported.

People that are bad at the game? People that don't know how to play, poor teamwork skills, poor communication skills, unable to learn, unable to listen. Like every game ever: Videogames, sports, tabletop. People usually get that effort disregarded because "Lul this is a game", but this is not a singleplayer game, when you become a burden for other players, then you have an issue in your hands.
