As someone who started on and still sticks to Mateus (this was before all the reshuffling ages ago so we ended up with more of the ERP freaks) I certainly have done my best to not fuck up as a Healer.
I still remember when I was first learning Scholar (this was during Heavensward being current) I had just done the A4 fight (Normal Mode because I'm a casual tard) and the other Healer (also SCH) asked me to stay in the instance and gave me a five minute lesson/demonstration to improve as a SCH then wished me good luck and thanked me for not being a screechy fag as is too common when it comes to taking advice.
I think about that story every time I read about players being uppity fuckfaces whenever another player tries to give them direction. Makes me wonder if it is a generational thing as I cut my teeth in WoW, Ragnarok Online, and dozens of chinkslop MMOs back in the day so I was used to listening to feedback and paying it forward as I understood MMOs are about the community and making sure to build a healthy one on whatever server you found yourself on.
Nowadays it feels like gamers just want these games to be single-player affairs and have some issues with Main Character Syndrome (I mean that both metaphorically and clinically) to the point where they don't understand that other players are counting on them not fucking up and ruining their enjoyment of the game or being degenerates.
Sorry about the ramblings. Just woke up and had coffee and felt nostalgic reading about the gross Krauts and Frogfags.
