I thought players were supposed to play what they wanted to play...

So you'll continue to not group and avoid someone that might be an awesome person IRL just because of the class they rolled?

Do you hear yourself? Do you know how bigoted and elitist that is? Can you imagine how that player must feel?

Based on this thread, it is very obvious that you are a social person. You gain self worth by improving others. You are the type of person that can't understand why a player would be rejected a group simply because of their class and that is completely ok!

Many other people gain satisfaction through efficiency. It is how their brain works. They strive for maximum output at everything they do. They are not concerned with social customs. They are the kind of player that can't understand why someone would create a suboptimal race/class combination and that is completely ok as well.

However, in neither situation is the player an asshole. They simply play the game for different reasons, because they are different people.

Not sure how "completely" ok that is since the game is a social one. And shunning people is being an asshole.

You play it as a social game. Not everyone does. Some people just want to log on their necro and enjoy isolation for a couple hours as they decompress and enjoy some whiskey on the rocks.

A person that responds to a group request by saying "sorry friend, I'm REALLY trying to get out of this hell level tonight so I'm just going to solo" is not an asshole.

To me, the asshole is the person who expects others to play the game the same way he/she does.
