Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

[Zebraoracle]

Except on a team there's usually a captain who is in the position to give direction to others. There is no captain in a randomly matched party and unless the discourse is open with the other person then it's just one random person trying to tell another random person what to do. That's why you set the environment first.

I give advice all the time. I just ask first. Sometimes people just want to get through something and don't want to worry about having full discourse in a dungeon. Or they're just having an off day. Or something might have them distracted.

Guess what, the other 3-7 people also want to get through something too.

If the person has the awareness to know they're having an off day, or something's distracting them, then they should know the situation they're creating is inviting someone to offer helpful advice. If they get mad over this, or feel attacked, that's on them, not the person offering it. I don't understand this mentality of "we need to make sure we don't offend or embarrass anyone" - offering advice *shouldn't be seen as offensive or causing embarrassment*, especially as if a mistake happens that, for example, causes a wipe, everyone can already easily see who was at fault. What's more embarrassing then, continually causing this issue, or being told "hey, if you do this instead, we'll get through this "?
