pauraque_bkIt amazes me that people answer their cell phones in the "quiet study area" of the library and have loud conversations that are clearly not about urgent situations that can't wait.
Maybe the fact that this still amazes me means I haven't given up on the human race after all.
One of my friends has also joined my old guild (er, my new guild... it's like Grover Cleveland, nonconsecutive terms), and we're finding out how hard it is not to butt in with your own opinion about how to do things. Neither of us had ever taken a step back in progression before (ie, joined a guild that was stuck on bosses we've already done), so this is the first time we've ever had the opportunity to be that guy who says "well in MY old guild we did it THIS way" every couple of minutes when no one asked his opinion. We're trying really hard not to be that guy, and I think succeeding so far.
Of course it would be well intentioned. They probably would be better off knowing what we know. But if you don't wait until someone asks your opinion to share it, you just come off like you think you're god's gift to wow and everyone resents it. Funny how that works. Had the occasion to comment:
People are happier dying than being told how not to die.
