How not to be a dick in pugs.

Here's an idea for you and it's not just limited FFXIV. Getting into a pick up group and expecting it to be some kind of uber speed run is idiotic. As the guys on Aetherite Radio said it's like expecting to grab a dozen people off the street and asking them to fly fighter jets in formation.

If you're in a pickup group in an MMO, leave your elitist self behind and go with it. If you want a speed run get into a premade group. Otherwise own up to the fact that you're going to get new players, people who don't know which way is up, arseholes and no end of "scum and villainy".

Go easy on the new guy, not everyone has been running these dungeons forever. Some people are undergeared and trying to improve. Enough with the "your gear isn't good enough" elitist arseholery.
