It is a game, and if you can't accept that sometimes you will get a group that fails, or a group that does the content longer. That is on you, not anyone else.
    No it is up to other players to be decent human beings. I said ad nauseam that you seem to skip over that I do not care if content takes longer or that the group fails. You can repeat that line of dialogue over and over again but it will never be true. I can accept it will not always go well, I can accept people being rude. It just blows my mind a game that has a duty finder has people like you(people who don't care) in them.

    I don't understand how being decent has anything to do with a game setting, or people caring about your fun in a pug.

    It is not just my fun, I am not the only one having these experiences. Expected to carry a team that I physically can not carry. People have disabilities, 'It is just a game' what about those who do not have people they could play with, they enter duty finder expected to carry people who just don't care or don't know how to push buttons. No matter how hard they play they can't complete a duty not due to their own shortcomings or the disability, but because someone #doesn't like X ability. I guess I really shouldn't expect anyone to be allowed to have fun in a video game. I can't expect people to actually do the bare minimum. I am expected to carry, or leave. Why would anyone want to play a game no one wants to play? Why would I expect people to play a video game to actually play the video game.

    Have you seen their fricken Twitter? By the twelve..
    no no, I'd rather not, seeing them trying their hardest to seem like the nice guys in the discussion but just digging themselves deeper with their entitlement is enough - and that show of sexism was a big big yikes, but I'm "sure" he's changed since then...

    that's how they argue, they just skip over parts they don't have an answer to and try to move goalposts as soon as possible, as seen throughout this whole thread (and a similar one a while ago where it was a very similar topic and their posts were almost exactly the same, 60 year old granny that doesn't know what DoTs are included - though... have you two never tried to explain DoTs to her, shown her how they work?!)

    others from that "camp" argue the same way, too, which is where those clone comments from miashino are coming from, I guess?
    always with the exaggeration, unnecessary hyperbole posted like a fact etc..
    also look how some of them conveniently don't respond to people because they don't fit into that "elitist raider" image they've put up rent free in their head

    what type of loser would I be if I did not defend my wife from being called every name in the book because the cult of players at the time did not want to see how bad the CS was and the community had issues?


    You all making my point for me. I debunked everything you all said. Gave ideas on how to get what you want, and now you show something out of context many years ago, not showing the people in that thread personal attacks and breaking the rules of the forum getting away with it.


    I shall use the line I used many years ago. Putting people in place.

    still waiting for any points that people made to be debunked by you because that never happened, but I guess your narcissistic entitlement thinks you did
    you can defend your wife without being a sexist pos, but I'm sure you're aware of that

    Nope, at the time i made my point clear. At how bad the rules was not being enforced, and even talked with a GM afterwards who told me they was sorry about the thread, and did not agree with how I handle it. But understood tempers was flaring because the people would not accept that my wife could not get help at the time.


    Things have come a looong ways. Btw to answer your other question. DF is design to be easy and for players like her. So the content does not require her to do it. So why should she?


    It takes a ton to irk me...but the community that day? Oh boy.

    Pretty much every time so far her reputation has caught fire -- albeit usually for her own inflammatory or disingenuous remarks -- you've only ever doused her... with accelerant. That hardly seems a noble favor and may be far worse than the kind of "loser" who gives level advice as to where a given comment makes no sense, is utterly narcissistic, etc., as appropriate so she can decide whether to backpaddle or adjust before you've added your momentum to the crash course.

    Nearly the worst you can do is add fire, as you have, especially if with poorly thought-out or contradictory messages like condemning others for heirarchicalizing others just before gloating about your...

    Oh boy. I'm not even going to comment on that one. Either way that thread was bad all around for myself and the community. I talked with gms to clear it up, and the person was dealt with. So all well that ends well. The person going back and using the past as a way to discredit me all because he does not agree, Looks bad on them more so than me to bring up a 5-6 year old thread. I explain my reasons, and I also fully support my wife play style. It is not anyone in the community place to tell her how to play in a pug settings.

    But everyone else having to compromise on their play style in order to accommodate your wife's play style in pug groups and she never has to compromise is unfair to other players.

    Your wife should be the one to compromise sometimes.

    I suggest she compromises in dungeons as a start. Where her preferred style of play has the most negative impact to the ability to complete the content.

    Now, if you use the PF to find a group that's willing to carry her, then go for it. She doesn't have to compromise because the others agreed to make up for her play style's short comings.
