Ive seen a lot of posts about why casuals are "shunned" etc, and i can not grasp why people do not get it.
If you are working, and one of the workers hardly shows up, and when he does he never does any work. How long do you think it will take before he is fired? And before you start arguing that "this is not work" its not about that. Its a social-structure and behaviorism. If you are playing with people you hardly know, until you do know them you wont accept them not doing their part for your mutual success.
Tbh i would love to have servers with a couple of extra choices.
Server choices like:
1. You want to be skilled and learn boss mechanics and take responsibility for your own actions so choose this one.
2. You dont care about who is good and not, just want to relax and have fun choose this one.
I can bet you that 9 times out of 10 even the casual player will take the 1st choice and here is where the problem lies. People instinctively want to be where they can play with as little fuzz as possible. Not everyone is wired that way but from what ive seen of this community a fair load of people are.
And too your football analogy. If you could hardly move cause of knee pains, you almost never show up to practice but always whine about never getting a spot in games, you still think its ok to let that player stay on the team? Effort = reward in my opinion.
I do understand that casual guilds shouldnt scream at or kick players that arent up to snuff. If you have a casual mindset you should let everyone play as much as possible. We currently have LFR/FLEX/NORMAL/HEROIC so there is plenty of room for anyone who wants to play. But since you are playing with others, you can not make up your own rules and think its ok to ignore what the rest of the group is saying too you. If 20 other or so people are telling you that your dps is too low, in my opinion you should try to improve. Im not saying you have climb mountains or become a pro but you should atleast try to improve. Same goes for not understanding boss mechanics and so on. Atleast thats who i feel.
