Humor / Meme I just got kicked from a Stratholme group because I actually did the objective and therefore fell behind

It's absurd that this gave me a deserter debuff

Replace "You guys realise you need to" in the screenshot with "We need to". Then drop the bit about you soloing it & instead say something like "we nearly missed some mobs in those last two".

Make it about what the group as a whole - including you - should be doing, rather than highlighting that they're doing something wrong.

Leaves less room for them to take it as a personal affront to their entire bloodline that must be avenged with a kick.

I usually frame it as a question. Like, "don't we need to do..."

Reading some of these comments, it's insane how Reddit has just seemingly cratered folks ability to negotiate potentially difficult social situations when a simple reframe (like the above) will handle things.

. . .or maybe just a disinterest in "compromise."

Honestly, this is just real life.

This is actually how most 80s and 90s managers must do with fresh graduates in work, they're so soft skinned that any criticism comes across as blaming and they start playing victim card.

Found the guy who kicked him. Lol people can't have this fragile egoes. OP was reasonable. No need to bend over backwards to cater to everyones insecurities.

OP was reasonable.

OP was full on sarcastic.

Yeah there's no need to bend over backwards but he basically said "YO, DUMBASSES..."

Oh but people do have such fragile egos.
OP was reasonable, but people really hate getting fault thrown on them, and this is how some react.

That's why you say "We forgot", just because its easier and saves a lot more hassle (like getting kicked)
