The attitude is taught socially... - when you persist in telling people - you're on your own and that's what they go with ... and come EPIC and Elite in ToD they take that same play style in there with and bloody do not know how to play as a team.
Another great piece from Emili which I totally agree, my emphasis on the bolded.

D&D to me, has always been a team game. A group of folks/characters coming together with different skills complementing each other. I hate soloing, and the only reason I do it is to experience a quest storyline or explore slowly because most folks are too in a hurry to just get it over and done with.

That's the main reason I play a bard, cos I wanna be support, a role I know that a lot of folks shy away from. I'll do whatever the party needs - buff, CC, heals, even melee. As long as we get through the quest.
