Whats with all people being so über PC in this topic? Has this thread being taken over by the hypocrit faction? Where are the earnest people? Blaming your team for losing (where applicable), calling people out for playing blatantly poor even against better advice (where applicable) is entirely ok. I lost count of the times where I advised against a tactic and saw the newbs getting splattered. Sure enough there is are no badges in game indicating credibility/experience, hence it's difficult for nwbs to judge who's in the position to give advice, but on the other hand: If you were just new to the game, you could still use common sense - provided that youre even ready to listen to other people at all - and this is where it fails quite often and this is where the blame hammer comes - thats 100% fine.
I think you need to re-read the posts, and/or check your ego at the door.
For example, the PUGs started using a tactic that you didn't think would work, it failed, and so you are automatically right? You sure it didn't fail because ONE guy messed up? Or the other team had 2 four mans in a successful sync drop?
Screaming at you for being ******* ***** wouldn't change your mind here would it? No? Then why would it change their mind in game?
Don't you think that politely pointing out a mistake and suggesting an alternative would work better?

That's true but people respond better when the criticism isn't hostile. It's not about PC, it's about being a decent human being.
