do you raid in statics?
it's a total non-issue if you are in a static these people only terrorize pf
ive never met any myself cos i literally never touch pf i avoid it like the plague
best way to raid in this game: stay in a bubble (i.e. your FC and static) and ignore the wider raiding """"community"""" and yeah PF is the one way to quickly get exposed to all the dumb shit that goes on in the raiding """"community""""
you do lose quite a lot of motivation to raid when you realize how prevalent ACRs, bought clears, outright cheats, drama, "unethical" behavior like joining statics just to get a p6 log to apply to another static etc. are, and imho it's gotten worse and worse which is why a lot of people stick to stormblood/heavensward/ARR groups where everyone has logs from at least since Alphascape, raiding boomers sorta but it's a good way to insulate yourself from the ShB/EW drama.
anyways this game's pug scene has imo gotten so bad it's like radioactive tumor, it's literally night and day between pugs and statics. every time i try pugging it's like impossible to get anything done because people are so upset with each other
not everyone has mental fortitude and mood is actually important to raiding. you want the best raid environment, you need to be calm and collected and play with players at the same skill level. one or two bad players really just ruin the entire static, but one or two top players berating others causes the exact same issue. also you can't have too many neurotic people, you can have like maybe one person with outgoing adhd max, definitely no one with anxiety, can't have more than one natural leader, etc. the mental and personality game is prob far more important than skill so yeah OP's concerns are legit. that being said, it's PF you're naturally getting all the junk, you wanna pug and not deal with these issues? join one of those pugging linkshells/discords where you're not committed to strict static schedules, but you play with a pool of people who sorta know each other.
side note: avoid people who are neurotic/anxious like the plague. I literally have never had any good experience raiding with them. If someone says "sry i panicked" more than twice in a lockout just leave. they will screw up once, start panicking and then get anxious and can't think straight for the rest of the night. like, holy shit, it's so bad it's unreal it's the only personality type where i can literally precisely track how their emotions are affecting their performance honestly this is one of the few things that set me off and if i ever get paired with someone like that i'll go joker mode LOL. i unironically would rather raid with someone who's constantly fighting with me or even someone who's extremely terrible at the game but doesn't panic than someone who panics 24/7
If you are witnessing any player (Alpha Legend or not) repeatedly engaging in speech that has the effect of belittling yourself or others in your party indirectly, report it for Nuisance Behavior. Nuisance Behavior covers speech that would not fall under Harassment yet still has the effect of making others uncomfortable and disrupting the game experience. It's helpful to copy the portion of the Prohibited Activities policy that you feel applies to their speech/behavior.
They're not going to stop doing it just because you ask them to. They've already shown what you want means nothing to them.
there are more than just one guide. and if you go in blind you've never seen one.... how is it passiv agressiv to say you havent seen a spevific guide?
Nothing wrong with getting critics.. if you can't take them, you may never be able to beat the content.
Also don't rely on specific guides or whatever rely to the mechanics and mold out from that first of all you need is to know what the boss do and when you need to stand in special places to dodge something massive anyway, and as it is a scripted battle, you should quick enough be able to learn which does what, as it would be the same all the time in a figure of speech.
