I promise you, it's really not that hard to not be a jerk, and if you are having problems accepting that low bar, then maybe you shouldn't play with the rest of the kids (not you you, Melichior, I mean the general you).
Because people have very different ideas of what constitutes being a jerk. Which of these do you think are dick moves:
- Telling someone to upgrade their weapon because it's 20 levels (character levels, not item levels) out of date
- Wanting to do small pulls because you're tanking a new dungeon
- Pulling more enemies when you think the tank isn't pulling enough

Personally I think the last one is being a jerk but the first and second are not. But from reading these forums and in some cases also from personal experience I know there are people with opposing views.
