Now I see why people quit. Dictatorship at it's finest. Who cares if someone elses DPS is lower.. it's just a GAME. good example.. a baseball player is having the game of his life 3 homeruns a triple, double, etc etc. his team mates aren't doing as well and they lose. is it frustrating? yes but you just pick yourself up and dust yourself off and try again. what's the rush? the world isn't going to explode. Blizzard isn't going to shut off the servers forever.

This is why i'm glad I don't raid. don't get me wrong I can hold me own just like everyone else but who are you to tell me whether i'm good enough. I pay $14.99 same as you.

There are 2 things that make me mad whenever I read: "rouge" and "It's just a game".

First one is a cosmetic. Second one is an excuse for being bad.

Funny that you use a sports analogy, because I always refer to sports when I talk about why "It's Just A Game" is a terrible mentality. When it's just me and my friends on the basketball court we dick around a lot: triple-clutch layups, shots from half court, eyes-closed free throws, and we foul the hell out of each other too. Can you imagine if we tried to pull that crap in an organized league? Or if my friend who plays 1A tried that in his next game? It's Just A Game, but some people take their game more seriously than other people.

It's okay if you approach the game casually, but you have to make sure that your behavior doesn't negatively impact what others are trying to get out of the game.
