So you are still salty about that? Sounds fragile to me. But what do I know? I don't have a degree in "feelings and how not to hurt them".

So you think it's okay to call someone lazy and tell them to 'git gud' even though they are not in fact lazy and are trying very hard to get good? And then to imply that they must be 'fragile' because you've implied they're a liar?

I mean you really didn't need to say you don't have a degree in feelings and how not to hurt them, it's completely obvious. And I'm not sure how I can be 'still salty' when I haven't been salty previously. I'm assuming salty is some kind of slang for upset? Maybe you should work on your communication and people skills, I guess you've been too lazy to pick those up. But hey, that's real life stuff, that doesn't matter, right?

Oh look, I made unkind assumptions about you based on unfounded preconceived notions I have in my head. How unfair of me.

People trying to get good don't tell you to "<expletive> off" the moment you try to give helpful advice.
People trying to get good don't afk mid-fight.
People trying to get good at least understand the basics of the abilities they had more than 20 levels ago.
People trying to get good at least make use of their toolkit.
People trying to get good at least try to understand how they might, generally speaking, save time or further learn to improve their performance.
People trying to get good at least try once or twice to trust their party when they tell them they can survive if they just use their cooldowns and either AoE or spam heals on the tank and give it a shot before arguing that their say should trump that of their party.

That's the level of competency generally expected from the vast majority of content played in this game. If they were in fact "trying to get good", you'd see far, far fewer people take any issue with them. Again, it's not a high bar.

I've met people trying to get good. They're generally among the most fun runs I get, even if they take longer, because it feels like something was really accomplished and I got to be social for once. But this is not that.
