#i am sympathetic to pleas to be patient with sprouts and returners who don't know what they're doing

Man, it's super rare I have a truly unpleasant experience in a roulette, but I just had a healer go off on me for explaining a mechanic they (along with everyone else in the group) stood in repeatedly. I don't normally explain mechanics unless people are failing it every single time, and the healer was struggling as it was (due to casting cure 3 on only me, spamming medica 1 instead of medica 2, etc) (which I did NOT comment on), so I figured it might be nice to do so. Here was my typing-between-actions explanation:

I was on an alt that still has his sprout, so they sneered about "pro tips from the sprout tank who ignores mechanics." Which I was not, of course, doing, I just still get hit by raidwides (which I reprisaled when it was up) and autoattacked and tankbustered (which I used cooldowns for). Monstrous of me, I know.

They were probably mad the mechanic I explained finally killed them towards the end of the duty (I limped across the finish line with the one surviving DPS) but man. Sorry for being right?

As a bonus, their friend made fun of my 'palworld' name (my unremarkable lore-ish name, while they were named something with a barely disguised swear in it) in the course of calling me a crap tank. They are, of course, the other person who died to the mechanic I explained.
