People are so lazy in this game.

I don't see why it's such a chore for a lot of people.

Perhaps.

To me, though, since EQ is such an easy game from a mechanical level, I don't see why it's such a chore for a lot of people.

That's right. You can't suspend your disbelief long enough to see this game through anothers eyes.

In a vacuum, you are correct and I cant believe I'm saying this but DSM is correct (dangnabbit!). We all play differently at times.
I see your point and I would not need to be prompted to FoL in that situation. Luckily not everyone is me.

Very good points DSM.

After a long hiatus from the game, I've decided to come back and play my paladin, Hospitaller.

I ask a fellow paladin in Velks to FoL incoming mobs when the MT is around 10-20% for efficiency sake, and he gets angry and complains. He eventually leaves because I became frustrated with trying to reason with him.

Why even play this game if you can't even be bothered to do the simplest thing?

FoL is what? Flash of Light, Flame of Light, I'd like to hear your reasoning for how it makes things more efficient.

[Gloomlord]

Flash of Light. It's for snap aggro. In this case, it's for snap aggro on a new pulled mob, and then the rest of the group finish the last target.

Should fire the paladin and get a sexy SK instead. They put some effort in instead of going fake AFK in the tunnel and fapping to how many inspects they get.

There is a big difference between trying to coach a group to be more efficient and giving someone class notes. I probably would have asked if they can pull some too, which would have accomplished the same goal (more kills, less sitting) while giving them the autonomy to play how they want.

Who knows though? I expect this person would have still ragequit. P99 folks are pretty damn sensitive. I feel like even asking for buffs takes the social grace of a debutant.

Your second paragraph summarised this perfectly. P99 people, in general, may be "chill", but they are sensitive and lazy. It's a case "but inside doesn't matter". It doesn't matter what you feel is right morally or logically deep down -- you have to accommodate the norm of your environment.

As for what Melodyy is saying: you need to elaborate on how I've PO'd "everyone". A few excursions in Velks is enough to warrant this statement?

I joined Safe Space because I really do not have many options as an Australian with the time zones, but whatever.

I honestly think, whomever you are, you either just want to get on your high horse to judge me here, or you're not understanding I'm trying to be a good paladin. It's utterly exhausting trying to do so many roles sometimes. All I want is a little help.

I will get confrontational if I feel you don't pull your weight in group. I even removed a rogue yesterday for going AFK for too many times without notification. I fully admit that.

In my experience they'd probably get even more annoyed if you asked them to pull since that's more work lol

When I play an enc or shaman I ensure I cast my best slow on all the green mobs so I can roll my eyes in exasperation when melee have the audacity to request a haste. Can’t you see I’m oom?! Work on your aggro!!
