some self reflection is always good when considering posts about people who play better than we do

Interesting. I wonder, however, what happens when we apply this equally across the board?
We didn't get this completion because that DPS sucked. So is it only blaming someone else when that person that has the perception of being the superior player is being blamed, or are you going to start posting this in threads posted by players that are claiming some kind of elite status too? If yes, Kudos. If no, "Oh, the hypocrisy".2 -

Which is okay totally okay, if that works for you. I don't, so it doesn't work for me, which is okay, too. To each their own.

I agree! My healer's most important function is to happily accept blame when anyone dies.

✭✭✭✭✭Self reflection is an excellent practice for everyone, not just players who get upset at other players who are "better" than them.
For instance, when I see someone post that they queued for a vet dungeon with a friend, ran ahead with their friend to skip to the end of the dungeon, realized that the other two players were still way back at the beginning of the dungeon, saw that one of those players left the group on their own, then decided to kick the other player and gloated about how it "made their day" to do so, I'm thinking:
Okay, if you were able to kick that player then you were the group leader, in which case it was your responsibility to make it clear to everyone in the group at the very start that you and your friend were planning to skip ahead, not to mention the basic leadership role of looking out for everyone under you. So instead of gloating about how great you and your friend were, how lame the other two players were, and how much fun you had kicking the player who hadn't quit the group in utter disgust on their own, you should asking yourself the ways in which you failed the group, and what you could have done better, so you won't similarly fail another group the next time you have the crown.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!2
