I wanna punch 90% of the Lancers I've grouped with in the last 24 hours.

I'm sure that works well when talking about actual people that you meet face to face or at least in a more serious environment, which I'm sure you do in your job. But do you honestly think you can grab the classes in this game and fit them into that model even in a very broad sense? I doubt it. This is why psychologists don't analyze their patients over the internet. Heck, the reason why some Lancers are hard to deal with and taking control of the parties isn't because they have the personality of a boss. It's because they're oportunists. All they want is their rare armor. You can't really deal with people like that the same way than with your boss. Your boss, even if he's hard to negotiate with, will negotiate. A Lancer kicking a Berserker because he doesn't want to roll on armor against him won't.

Look, if it makes you feel better (or at least less mad), I admit that much of the mockery in my post was either exaggerated for the lulz or not directly aimed at you, but rather at the type of conversations posts like yours usually start, where everyone starts making their own analysis. But I still think it's silly to try and fit these classes into that model. Especially considering that the game has been out for less than a month and the population is still all over the place.

im a lancer and just a example: last night was doing a dungeon and random sorc from a pug was right at my side shoulders by shoulders with me, so i said while tanking boss, and belive not a nice thing typing while tanking, please get far, and sorc lol my best attacks are near boss, so i said jesus go to behide boss or at side, and just got mad and quit, and other time a slayer same situation saying need stay at 50% hp because do way more dps that way and blamed alot the healer because got heal, its not lancers, its not sorcs,its not any classes, its the player attitude.
Sorry about broken english not first language.

Having just switched from mystic to lancer due to the lack of tanks available on my server, I'm happy to read this thread as a guide of what not to do.

Kicking a berserker cause of loot considerations?! Deplorable behavior, they should be ashamed of themselves.

A person's core personality is what attracts them to a certain class

Director - someone who likes control, little patience, makes decisions quickly - usually pick lancer

Social - likes recognition, wants compliments, flashy, slayer, zerker, warrior

Amiable - like to feel safe, want to be accepted - priest or mystic

Thinker - analyze, enjoys strategy, quiet for the most part, may have hard time making decisions - archer or sorcerer

Not everyone fits into one of the 4 categories perfectly and you can have a core with other tendencies but most people have a hard time dealing with directors. They need to feel control and tend to steamroll over people if they have a chance.

To deal with them better, try to make things simple and give them reasonable choices, letting them decide. They don't like weakness or too many details.

I know it stinks dealign with them but maybe this will help out the situation.
I play all the classes so I am seriously confused. My warrior zerker and mystic are all +35. The rest are 11-28

Haha - yeah I'm not sure where this person came up with this load of bunk. They're classes in a game, not a personality test. Most people I've played MMO's with have run the entire gamut of class types. I play a sorc and lancer which, apparently, means I'm schizophrenic at best. Anyway, great post, made me laugh.
