    What you are explaining on the other hand I understand, the thing is that happens in almost all big mmorpgs for the reasons you mentioned.

    My argument on that subject is that people who care about improving for their personal sake will still do either way, people who are interested in improving always do no matter what the tutorial tells us(Which is why the "if they listened to you everyone would be so bad they couldnt get through dps checks" argument is so flawed), people who are not interested in improving because they have no reason to since the content they do can be done easily wont care either way and will ignore the imagined tryhard tutorial until they get in a situation that pushes them improve, such situation being the higher end content which can be accessed by all, and in these situations these people do improve which again ruins the repeated generalizations elitists have thrown in just this thread about that iconinc ultra bad casual that is so bad and low skilled they cant do anything right.

    And again I ll have to repeat the point that what matters is the minimum requirements set by the devs(not the inflated requirements send by a bunch of elitists who try to get a roflstomp group going), in a realistic group you ll always have a few players who personally care about their performance and some that dont, that group still perseveres either because the good players were that good that they were able to play well enough to carry the group performance or because the people that didnt care ended up improving in order to beat the encounter.

    At the end what comes down to is that some people are allergic to wiping or helping others without an elitist commanding attitude and I am seeing that as their problem, if they cant handle that they should stick to their static that exists to roflstomp content.


    Ah yes the just "find decent friends m8" argument, if it was so easy people wouldnt be complaining about pugging since ages now, especially in a community so divided where you wont be finding many players in the middle, though I know elitists like Preach "You gotta be trolling to be playing non meta" gaming do honestly believe they are really nice and friendly people, just like a bunch of jerks together might consider each other real great dudes. What matters is how outsiders perceive you, not your buddies in this case.


    Because when a community is ignorant, elitist, tryhard metaslave, they are wrong, they negatively affect people around them, degrade the experience for players and in general, wrong things should be stopped and fought against whenever they affect you or not.
    Never said it was easy, just an option. I play feral if I pugged I would be asked to play balance. So I found a group that is cool with me playing feral and we still push for keys perfectly fine.

    I get you are in a disagreement with min / maxing but your stance is not an objective truth you may feel it is wrong and you are entitled to that opinion. Though if I may ask what is wrong with holding the community to a higher standard of play or providing the player base with a tool to hold others accountable? This at the core is not inherently toxic nor does it necessarily lead to meta driven community like you appear to claim it will. The meta mindset is also fueled by the balance approach of blizzard and their encounter design. In FFXIV classes at the core more or less the same functionally within their roles that I doubt it would go back to the way this were back in HW. That said just because content can be cleared with every job does not mean not giving players the tools to hold others accountable is toxic. This is a team game first and foremost at least when it comes to clearing content and by no means does being new or playing for fun mean it is fair to the rest of the group when you have a dps doing 10% of the total damage cause they cannot be bothered in 4 man content.
