You don't care what people think about what you wear.

and...

I assumed the same thing. It never occurred to me to think otherwise.

I have dropped out of voice chat channels on more than one occasion. Not that people were specifically harassing me, but because the other participants were just being really crude. They thought they were being clever and whatnot, but they weren't. I just got tired of it.
Dropping out of the chat channel greatly improved my gaming experience for that night. I still played with the same crew of people, I just didn't listen to them anymore.

Neither one of these groups of people are intimidating, imho. ymmv.

So can parents.

I have been thinking that some of the people I think are female may not be. Most of the genders I "know" come from context. But, talking about your boyfriend doesn't necessarily mean that you're a female, does it?

It's not clear that they need to hide who they are.

I don't think that the gender is causing problems so much as there are individuals who're causing problems. ymmv.

You should have just used one of your 5 AoE attacks.

Ahhh.

Ty. There was no in-game hint about this. The warden is at the beginning and he just sat there while I cleared the map. I went back and got him to follow me around. I took him to every section of the map.
The hint said to administer the serum. So I checked for temp powers, etc.

It would have been a bit more clear if instead of telling me that his head had cleared if the Warden had said that he wanted to talk to me.

This is true, but moving can make them more effective by increasing the number of potential targets.
For some builds that is more of an option than others.
Yes, it is possible for that to happen. I would take issue with the wording you used though. I don't think "always" is accurate. ymmv.
Because they're not dead yet--they're only about to be defeated.

I totally concede the argument. You win. It's always, always, always a bad idea to jump to re-position yourself no matter your build or power-set choices.

Some of us just aren't as enlightened as you and thus remain obdurate.

I have it from a reliable source that there are some other cones available to brutes outside of Claws.
That might be more optimal for some, but not an optimal option for all builds. Sometimes, it can be useful to take a out a specific target first--not getting to that sapper or w/e in time has the potential create an issue.
Because the first spawn is about to be all defeated.
That might be more optimal for some, but not an optimal option for all builds.

All in all, I don't see any reason for jumping to move being an inherently or categorically bad idea. ymmv

So you're talking specifically about ElA.
To line up cones, to reach a specific target at the edge of the mob, to have your AoE over lap with another spawn, to get w/in range of another spawn w/ your taunt or ranged attack, etc. Sometimes when you're in the midst of mob you need to be a few feet over one way or another. It's not uncommon for the spawn mobbed around you to keep you from being able to traverse the floor. But. It's not hard to hop over one of them and land a few feet away.
