I actually prefer the company of younger guys because there is less pressure and less tension. When I get into a group of younger guys, I can comfortably be the adult and take everything in stride, knowing we can just have fun and there are no egos I will have to contend with.
But with the older generation, that’s when things get irritating. Everything is a pissing contest and everyone already knows everything about everything regardless of if they actually do or not. Everyone is impatient and expects that we’re all going to work perfectly together the first time we set foot into an encounter, and it’s just unrealistic. I say this because I have to use lfg most of the time now that my clan has disbanded and I’m left to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the leftovers. I think it’s put me in a position to see the absolute worst in people, to the point where I barely want to do anything that involves me putting on the headset because I know it’s going to end in a shouting contest and I’m going to get kicked for calling someone a few words they don’t want to hear because they’re a douchebag.
Maybe it’s finally time to hang up the cape on endgame content.

Scrape the bottom eh? Are you so full of yourself? I have the opposite experience, btw. Teenage boys and young males are so arrogant and -blam!-, they think they own the word. Not to mention they dont take instruction, cant do anythinf wrong, and typically quit at the first hint of problems. Oh, and they are annoying. Always spouting of rape jokes (which arent funny, its not a joke), comparing thier junk, or otherwise acting like imbeciles.

Okay, you took “scrape the bottom of the barrel” and turned it into me being full of myself. The two do not coincide. Personally I do find myself very efficient at the game, but it has no bearing on my perception of most lfg players. I’m sure plenty of them are quite skilled at the game as well. But I’m not willing to stick around and find out because most of them are impatient, have lofty expectations of the players they’re playing with who they have JUST met, and are pretty confrontational a majority of the time. But the ramblings of an adolescent are more innocent than the grumblings of a bitter old POS who is simply a POS. I’ll take a group of ignorant kids over a group of impatient confrontational “adult” pricks any day. I can work with a kid who’s disfunctionality I can understand. But I can’t work with an old ass man who’s pride and impatience dictates how he’s going to treat other people. Because at the end of the day, a kid has time to change. But a grown man who is an asshole is more than likely going to be an asshole for the rest of his life and is not going to accommodate someone he just met on lfg, especially when his pride is in question.
