What's up with all these inflated egos?

[Sansnom]

It got out of control in there with blizz doing nothing and being a looking for had no ramifications on ones home realm

And what other solutions were there? People had problems finding groups for dungeons. Spamming in city for hours is not fun. Before LFD, that is what I had to do. Not every guilds had dungeon runs. Especially when they are already raiding. Restricting the LFD to just the realm has problem for the low population realm.

Yes, there are rude people in LFR. But there were always rude people in the game. LFR did not create them. It just gave people an additional to meet them.

Given the choice, I rather be able to run 15 dungeons a week and have one or two bad run rather than one or two runs per week.

I think this is just in the US though. Might be in more places, but such a case would never stand a chance in most European countries.

I wish it were. It happens in the UK. Maybe not as much. I do not know how often this happens but there are now "specialist" law firms that "helps" people seek "compensations" from "injuries". Even if it happened several years ago.

Maybe he was right and you have the ego problem? :S

...[Lots of good points]...

Solid advice and good sentiments all around. Wish more gamers had this mentality.

Hey I am not against looking for dungeon or raid.
I agree it was bad trying to do those before we had looking for.
Problem is before looking for ninja's and jerks would have to deal with thier home realm if they acted up.
Trouble makers back then got shunned by thier home realm and had to shape up or transfer off due to this.
When looking for was created the home realm lost this ability and blizz did nothing and let it grow into the ceese pool it is now.
Blizz should of cracked down on this behavior from the beginning and it wouldn't have gotten this bad.

Welcome to humanity Op. Everyone has an ego. Even by you posting this your pumping your own chain by saying your not like that. People that humble themselves do the same thing. You can't get away from it.

It is a human condition for sure, but it's far more prevalent in the younger generation today. You know...the kids that grew up getting ribbons for showing up. I get to interview them often these days and it's clear they have little knowledge of how the real world works.

They expect to be making what some took 20 years to make, they expect more vacation, more free time, and want to be told how awesome they are.

It all started in the lfr the biggest talker if you look is doing the worst dps, healing or tanking.
I was in the lfr this week and one of the tanks was talking and blaming the other tank and when I paid attention it was the talker doing he mechanics wrong and using no cd's.
Sad thing is most will listen to the talker and I have seen them get too dps, heals or better tank kicked.
Most will just listen to the talker.

It is hillarious what people in LFR will allow you to do.
With few friends, we prolonged second part of SoO LFR for THREE HOURS. Almost every wipe we managed to votekick the highest DPS. Ninjapulling, pulling people to mines, taunting boss, missdirecting to healers, killing tank with Void Shift... linked HC achievement and convinced the raid to save cooldowns for defensive stance on Nazgrim...

Nope. 100% crystal clear case. And I had no intention to flame him; I was about to hit queue as a team and move on.

But I already covered this in the OP. Even if in a parallel universe he was right, what's up with pointing fingers?

Pointing fingers is something a lot of people do. Always have, and always will. Not sure why you are surprised by it. You ran into a jerk. It happens. There are plenty of non-jerks out there too.

There are alternatives regarding how to handle someone who has screwed up.

-Be friendly.
-Be compassionate.
-Be supportive.
-Be patient.

If any of those won't work.

-Ignore and move on.

It feels like that even the most simple of arguments, and they go nuts.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I was once told: "Before you start judging others, make a thorough self assessment. Are you so much better than them as a person, to have the right to judge them?". I guess that's what I am arguing here. Isn't that common sense?

I am so glad to hear you and your friends had fun in LFR at the expense of others.

This is a perfect example here. It's not ego. It's insecurity.

While you are an asshole and part of the problem, I applaud this. Hilarious how stupid the people who play this game really are. Looking at you LFR crowd...

OT: Welcome to the internet where shitty people can be even shittier.
