Rift is a fairly easy game to play if you have any MMORPG background. However I still manage to find groups the top tier players would call terribad when I use the LFG. Now as some suggest, I should quit the group or get kicked but I have another idea. I think Rift will be a much better game and have a much better product life with a larger player base. So rather than dump my group, I adjust my pulls or I change my souls so I can either take a beating longer or pull one encouter at a time. The goal is to spoon feed the group a little bit and figure out where we are lacking. If we can get away with no Support role, then we make that change or we can do things like coach someone on a build or where to get better gear. The goal is to keep new players interested in the game and not convince them the entire playerbase is a bunch of rage quitting nerds obsessed with a meaningless game.
We all play the game for our own reasons and nobody has to help out the noobs, but the game will be better for it if you do. If your a good DPS, respectfully make some suggestions to the lesser player. Same goes for heals. You don't have to give away all your secrets but there really are people who could be better that need your input.
And if after respectfully making some suggestions you are treated badly, then by all means ask for a vote kick. If the group won't vote kick them, ask them to vote kick you and if that won't work, I am sure there is some laundry that needs folding somewhere in the house. I usually find by the time I am done, my CD is over.
