We Need to Start Expecting Mid-Level Sprouts to Play Better

[Sheriyana]

I also never had that happen, but plenty of people have. Ever heard of chances?

But enough times I've been told to "just shut up and play the game" or "who cares about mechanics, just kill" (usually right before wiping).

Or are you trying to say that everybody is this community is super receptive to help and everybody else is just being super rudely forcing advice? Nice one.

This community is so afraid of any sort of confrontation that even the rest of the party will yell at you to shut up or "it's not so serious" or whatever else no matter how bad the person you're trying to give advice to is playing. Not to mention the person themselves getting upset or completely ignore any advice given. Hell I've been reported, or at least threatened with a report (never saw any repercussions) for sticking up for a newbie healer who was struggling with Stone Vigil. The tank got upset and said that my dps was bad, while I was typing to respond to him (go figure...), at least he got a report for that. But yeah, enough bad experiences makes you just want to not bother.
