The Dunning-Kruger effect gives insight into complaints about POE
|
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled persons suffer illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their own ineptitude and evaluate their own ability accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: highly skilled individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.
It is quite obvious that more people fall into the former scenario, while a few of us fall into the latter. Last edited by SpanishMonarch#1574 on Jun 21, 2016, 3:19:20 PM Last bumped on Jun 21, 2016, 7:26:15 PM

Seems the OP overestimated their skill in comparing legit behavior studies with people complaining about a video game they played.

" I see you fall into the former scenario. |
|
" TIL complaining about the bugs, performance issues, server issues with a game = overestimating one's skill. |
|
" +1 |

" In other words you have a bad computer/internet connection? Because I am not having any of these issues. Have there been very rare occurrences where the server crashes? sure. But my daily play experience is largely seamless. My point is that people need to take responsibility for themselves and think about the possibility that they are the problem, not the game? Or does that offend your entitlement too much? |

your point is unclear, please explain
And please, threat me as someone "unskilled" , so be VERY clear, because i'm not good with logical stuff. I will never be good but always I try to improve.

" Let me guess, desync was the player's fault, too? Until GGG fixed it, of course. |

" You got your monkey by hanging out in 820... don't lie. now STFU. I know i'm highly skilled because i can whip every map that drops for me (except maybe the outrageous mods like shocked ground + no regen + 87% extra damage as lightning at the same time). It's not my fault that i've never had a red map drop. It's GGG's fault. Quoting Saltychipmunk:
...I look at the new act 5 boss where you have to hide behind the statues to survive the bullet hell and all I can think is... how the fuck are zombies going to survive that? They don't know what hiding is... they don't know what dodging is... they are morons. |

I always knew phsychology was a sham. Overestimating and underestimating one's ability didn't need to be called some nobody's effect. If you want a real science, try psychiatry.
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready. Last edited by Pyrokar#6587 on Jun 21, 2016, 4:29:52 PM
