#belittle

(DISCLAIMER: Before anyone assumes worst case, I am NOT referring to the entire community of NA, just some experiences I have had over the years of my play time.)

I have to ask... exactly WHAT do you gain from bullying and harassing your fellow players? what do you gain from belittling someone's ability to perform a mechanic properly? what do you gain from harassing a healer over their inability to heal? what do you gain from punishing a tank who forgets to turn on their tank stance?

There is nothing to gain... absolutely nothing to gain from telling someone "You're a bad healer" for all you know, said healer could have already been having a bad day in real life and it could be affecting their in-game performance.

There is nothing to gain from belittling fellow players "you're a dumbass" "you should just quit playing" "skill issue" "just do your job" while they may already have it rough or are just learning their way. Everybody, myself included, began as a learning player.

We can't expect everyone to know what to do, some players are rusty at their roles and skills because they were unable to log in for a long period of time. You do not know what goes on in their real lives outside of the MMO, and it is not your place to judge them. Not everyone has the same income to be able to keep their subscription, and not everyone is able to have free time to play. However... it is equally as bad for someone with elitist behavior to tell someone HOW they should do their roles or skill sets. You do not tell someone "This is the only way to do this part" "You're not pulling enough mobs for me, I'll bring them to you" or even "I'm the only one that can do this, you don't know how I do it"

Stop comparing Final Fantasy XIV to other MMOs as well, they are not all built the same, that is just one being narrow-minded.

It is all... nonsense... some of these harassers have mentor crowns on their names, others think they're big shot and can compete with everyone because they feel intimidated by a skilled player.
