Tired of other players telling me how to play. I don’t always pick the “best” talents, I pick the talents that are more comfortable to me. For example; if there’s a passive talent vs a talent that gives me another spell, on a class/spec that already has a lot of spells to manage, I don’t want another one.
I pick a lot of passive talents because I am lazy, and like stuff simple.
Tired of people inspecting me, then telling me “Oh take X talent instead of Y” etc
Wish we could make ourselves more private in game so people can’t inspect and judge
Sure but you would probably be passed up for most of the more challenging group content. As people would just assume you have some subpar spec and are just trying to hide that fact.
If I’m on my 20th wipe and the past few have been <5% wipes, I should have every right to look at my group and see how we can squeeze out that 5%.
“Sorry… I just don’t want another key to press” is not an acceptable excuse.
Dismiss yourself from the group when you hit an obstacle if that’s your attitude, because you’re unwilling to put in the work to get over it.
That is perfectly fine and so is his position. You can play how you want and he can play how he wants. The rub comes in if you expect others to just accept your subpar spec and build while struggling to defeat content.
It’s your choice on how to pick talents, and if you choose to listen or not to others trying to pick your talents for you.
If you don’t want to change them, just ignore them.
But just letting you know, even if you can hide your talents, there is addons that keeps track of your ability usage, even passives so they could figure out how you talent anyways.
