Yeah I suppose so. WoW is only an extensio...@Gabbek<br />Yeah I suppose so. WoW is only an extension if irl anyway ;)<br /><br />@Anon<br />Wow, I wonder what would happen if everyone did what you did!<br /><br />@Tam<br />Thanks! I just noticed a typo in it tho <.< Yeah I think that can be what is holding people back. Therefore having someone with a little "authoritae" (ala Cartman) could help people learn that it doesn't have to mean that you're a bad player when you admit mistakes. Clearly that is what people think today.<br /><br />@Eldhorn<br />Quite right hun!Zinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935881612077507321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-1734461844453220122011-01-18T11:59:50.636+01:002011-01-18T11:59:50.636+01:00Heh, guilty as charged.
Lately I've been tryi...Heh, guilty as charged. <br />Lately I've been trying to just say "Damn, sorry" and move on with it. I'm dead, so I got plenty of time to figure out what killed me, and then that's that. I usually don't do it again. <br />It's when I start to try to rationalise and explain why I did it and why it wasn't my fault that I forget to try to find the real culprit - most likely me, and a friendly neighbourhood boss mechanic who were a little too intimate.<br />Admitting mistakes not only makes you a better player imo, it also makes you easier to raid with.Eldhornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-27454673686024195372011-01-18T11:57:40.631+01:002011-01-18T11:57:40.631+01:00I LOVE the chart! To be honest, I think admitting...I LOVE the chart! To be honest, I think admitting mistakes is inherently difficult BUT I also think the culture of WoW discourages it. I mean, we have someone in our guild who is a great analyser of her own performance and usually the first to step up and say "I didn't do this enough" or "I need to do more of this" and a consequence a lot of the cockier guild members concluded, early on, that she wasn't a "good enough" player. This was bollocks, of course, and they learned after a bit of a wake-up call but the point is WoW culture encourages you to make excuses, rather than man up and take responsibility.Tamhttp://www.righteousorbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-8137604473832744132011-01-18T10:55:57.841+01:002011-01-18T10:55:57.841+01:00I work the other way around, I usually am very fas...I work the other way around, I usually am very fast taking the blame. Sometimes this is a good thing since it keeps peeps from casting blame around over a period of several minutes. I only point out the errors if it is the only way to keep progress going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272524169407806923.post-17356312865000938172011-01-18T00:50:23.242+01:002011-01-18T00:50:23.242+01:00Not only You, for sure...

We always try to white-wash ourselves instead of admiting mistake, I guess the problem lies within human's nature. Mistakes aren't accepted anywhere in general, thus we always try to make excuses, even in real life! :)Gabbeknoreply@blogger.com
