I disagree. Maybe some people don't want to listen but not all. Some people
try very hard but because of lag or too much spam miss things.
I had problems on my first raid to Hate because I kept missing messages
because I kept getting spammed with too many spell messages and at the time,
didn't know how to turn them off. I also lagged and did not receive messages
in time to take action.
Maybe people get distracted sometimes. But it is just a game. Real life can
interfere.

That would only work if they accepted the TL.
And I would never use that tactic with my own guildies. That's just rude.
It's a game. It should be fun. And yeah, getting wiped out from someone not
listening isn't very fun, but I think it's even less fun to be nasty to
people.
