Raid behavior is getting worse lately

Maybe don't attach your ego to an identity. Pride is not a virtue, it's a hindrance.

A 24 man raid that has been hit so hard with powercreep that literally 8 level 50 players could probably clear it if it wasn't for the 3 lanes fight? Nobody raises in that place!

I get LoTa alot in my healer queues (although Im not complaining, give me more) and I raise people alot in there, across multiple fights... it's also LoTa so who cares about weakness....

You're right we cant say that was the reason he wasnt raised but he said he was getting picked on prior to that sooo....

Thank you for the explanation! I really appreciate it. I've only done LotA once and it was a year ago, so I forgot everything about it. I was confused as to why people kept calling him a troll and thought they were just being rude.

I'm only posting here to say that in any 24-man raid, if you died near the end of a fight (which in LotA, is almost any section of most fights), many healers will just not revive you so you can respawn and use the portal.

While I’m sorry that you were harassed, I don’t really see what this has to do with raids specifically. People can be jerks in any piece of content; not just raids.

he's complaining about 24 man raids, not raiders, and yeah people in 24 mans can be bad that way. Not sure what it is, but you get annoying people in it a lot. Enough to notice I feel, so I generally avoid alliance raid roulette except when forced.

I don’t think anyone said he was complaining about raiders. People are saying that jerk behavior just isn’t specific to any one piece of content. People will be jerks in the overworld, dungeons, PvP; it doesn’t matter.

oh..eh nah, some types of content seem to get a lot more jerks, probably because there's a lot more jerk potential. 24-mans seem to devolve into sniping at each other a lot easier than other content, for example.

Perhaps in your experience, but I've seen dungeons get downright hostile just as often as 24-mans. It's all anecdotes at the end of the day; the behavior isn't exclusive to a singular piece of content. Jerks will be jerks, and it doesn't matter where. Hence my original comment. I'm sorry the OP felt singled-out for bullying/harassment, but it's not behavior that happens exclusively in raids. It happens everywhere. Best you do is shrug it off and stop dwelling on it. Easier said than done, but why give people more ammunition. They want to know they're under your skin; so you don't let 'em.

Was what they did okay? No. But it was probably not because of your sexuality.

Blacklist those people and move on. FFXIV is the most LBGTQ friendly game out there, and a few people are not indicative of the masses.

I wasn’t inappropriate in the raid, and I don’t even know you.
