Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

People would get better at the game (or quit queuing for randoms) if we were allowed to roast them for being bad. Unfortunately, we are now at a point where politely worded constructive feedback, even when phrased as a request rather than a demand or whatever else "sets people off" these days, is an actionable offense.

No it's not. That is misinformation spread by people who don't read the ToS (or taking it way out of context).

We should be able to roast people who are bad at the game. Maybe if they weren't standing around a city for hours on end or RP some BS and actually put some practice in they get better. Instead they rather be incompetent and not put any work in and be carried. People need that harsh criticism in life builds character

Except I have read the ToS, and I have been on the receiving end of said ToS.

No matter how you phrase "advice," even should it be worded as a kindly-written request, someone will find some way to take it as condescension or "telling them how to play the game." In turn, SE will look into any resultant report(s) and may or may not take action. The GM looking into it determines whether there was any wrongdoing. Will most of them decide to throw a hammer because of a nicely-worded request? Nah, but some of'em will.

I'm still calling it misinformation though, because I give advice/suggestions like they're milkshakes going cheap and have yet, in the 10 years I've been playing this game, to be thrown into Gaol.
