I mean if you say anything in game, you can get banned/reported, even if said nicely because the person "didn't want any unsolicited advice". Like if I see a tank on lvl 80 spamming only 1 2 3 on a mob pack, a dps that you know isn't doing any dps because you see them -only use jolt-, etc. You should be able to say something, especially as a mentor without a fear of getting banned because you need to be an ableist and carry people that are ok with doing 400 dps at lvl 80 as a sam (yes, I've seen that from a friend that didn't believe her eyes after it happened).

Like being toxic and bashing them on it is bad but even if you are nice you'll get shit one so no one dare to say anything in game even nicely. Try to tell someone "Hey, you seem to struggle a bit, try to use your spells like that" and if you get one "positive" answer out of 10, you are considered lucky.

So yeah people on the forum are more snappy because seeing people being ok with single pulling as a tank when you can do that with a dps tanking instead while people defend them to the grave is .. eh?
