People are so lazy in this game.

[Melodyy]

To the op: you came here looking for answers so I'll give you my take: your problems are of your own making, not lazy people.

You may be a good guy irl, but in-game you come across as an arrogant know-it-all that constantly tells every class--not just paladins--what they need to do, when they need to do it and where and how too. Yes, people are talking about you, and it's not positive. One thing you have going for you is you're a tank and some groups will take you in, but any group, given the choice between you and another tank, well, you'll lose. And you're an ok paladin, you pull well and generally keep mobs off of the others which is important. It's the attitude you bring. It's no wonder you joined the guild that you did, they fit well with your demeanor.

You mentioned earlier that you recently came back to the game after a long break. Not much speculation is needed to figure out why that happened. Maybe it's time for another, longer break.

In the meantime, you might try to tone it down some. It's probably not too late to regain a better reputation. Just keep in mind this is a game many of us enjoy relaxing with, and we want to have fun while we're playing. You haven't helped us do that at all.

By the way, was this too harsh? Since this thread started I've thought it should be moved to rants and flames.
