[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7119766, member: 6689161"] Frankly, I do not play with others who are unable to share toys. Maybe I did not like to share toys when I was a kid. In grade school, our biggest concern was having the most powerful character and messing up the campaign world. I get it. The little kid is still in there. However, I cannot ignore the state of my friends or other players. I explain things to new players if they are confused. I do not constantly stop them from making decisions. Neither do I situate myself in a good party and constantly do antisocial things that either force them to look the other way (out of character) or get into PvP nonsense that no one likes. The DM puts a lot of time into his campaign. I try to make good use of the creation and act as if it matters. The worst person to play with is the person who does not think of others. It only takes a little consideration for everyone to have a blast. However, it has to be purposeful. If we simply play it like a videogame and pretend the other characters are controlled by the computer, the whole enterprise existing just for my enjoyment alone, it gets old really fast for everyone except the narcissistic star of the show.
