Willful ignorance? Â Still ignorance. Â I think there is difference between someone having not great hand-eye coordination, and needing a bit of help, and people just straight up sucking and not trying. Â I have seen both, one doesn't annoy me in the least, and I am usually the first to say hello, tell them "Hey no probs" if they are new, and then give them basic to detailed mechs depending on their knowledge, or simply just point out major things to remember, but when someone comes in clearly having been carried their entire game experience, and dies multiple times to the both the same and new mechanics at every turn, until we just decide to leave them dead...that is a different story, one that I don't generally comment on unless it gets totally nonsensical, but still a different story as far as level of annoyance.
It can happen more than once on the daily even if I only play a few hours a day. A specific experience comes to mind from this week, and I have been having bad experiences all week with certain things, but I decided this week to do Bismarck as one of my instances to get parties to do for fun.  I had a BRD...a BRD, who can move while attacking most of the time, not a mage who has to stand in one place for most attacks to go through.  He had full Eso gear, some upgraded, and a second lvl Anima...he died...and died, and died some more.  I tried to help, it didn't work, finally after literally 10 wipes I asked, why do you keep dying, we are playing the same mechanics over and over again (because we hadn't made it past a certain stage at that point), he said "Too many AoEs, I can't do anything."
...an eso brd with second level anima..."Too many AoEs..."?...okay, all the mages (including myself) >>>> (>.>)...rly?Â
Mind you that is a single instance of this happening, but it really isn't that rare, I am sticking to my guns, and saying there are negatives from both groups that come into this game, because it allows for both, that doesn't mean I don't get enjoyment out of it, I do, but I guess the internet strikes again? Â This is mostly (like all our discussions) a circular argument lol, but the frustration probably stems more from the sheer denial of it rather than a desire to keep debating it.
