Please implement something to teach players how to play

At the end of the day though this is all hopeful dreaming. Squarenix is a japanese company and these problems don't exist at all in the japanese data centers. Not only are the japanese community overall better players (as demonstrated in the Savage clear rates) but also they are a lot less self centered and a lot more respectful of other people's time than the American community. There is a reason why we have the "you don't pay my sub" meme here.

It almost motivates me to try and learn japanese in order to move over to one of their data centers.

If you had learned the language, you'd know otherwise.

unless the bottleneck is a complete jerk and toxic as heck... why kick from a 20 minute or so dungeon , just finish and move on.

Never said I would. It hardly seems time-efficient in most cases, except on the rare occasion their afk stops or arrogant ravings made the run slower than a tank-less 3-man. That, sadly, has happened on occasion.

I only noted the discrepancy between one "compelled" playstyle being effective only under active measures (reading the chat and actually giving a damn about others in one's party) from the person the playstyle is being requested of and the other being effective at all times except under those active measures from that person. And, of course, the prior then being called a breach of ToA, but not the latter. Such seemed more than a bit hypocritical.

oh, yeah if they are afking and raving lol, definitely need to be somewhere else, I agree. and yeah, seen that too.. or, a tank that from the word go, pulled everything, then left the party... seen that before too, the rest of us were "did that really just happen?"

One is a request that the bottlenecking individual follow majority preferences, at least to the extent possible for that individual. The other is a literal barrier, penetrable only by a kick.

It's not a request if a kick is the alternative for rejecting that request. So, yes, only one side is compelling playstyle on others here.

To clarify, let's take a look at the actual rule: "Expressions that compel a playing style."

"Hey, just so you know, since we're a fully geared party, you can and should pull more."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm more comfortable with, and so prefer to make, smaller pulls."

Of the above two polite statements, the first comes closer to being an expression that compels a play style as it is telling others what to do while the second is a personal statement.
