Tried to be helpful, got told to kill myself

Was running Malikah's Well today to level and noticed the tank was standing just outside the White Mage's Asylum for all of the fight, so I figured a little heads-up might be helpful. Had to type it quickly as he was racing for the exit. After leaving, I got the delightful tells you see above. The kind of toxicity Crystal has now is really making me miss being part of Aether.

Report them. They did it in game and the admins are taking a harder stance towards that kind of stuff these days.

Thanks. I did that pretty much right away. I meant this post less as an indictment of this individual, and more as a commentary on the trends I've noticed on the Data Center lately.

There are bad eggs everywhere, on every server. Report them. Nonsense like that isn't worth anyone's time.

It's sad that this is seen as acceptable behavior by some :(
Sorry you had to deal with that!

Sometimes you can't stand in it because of the healers placement, or rather there are other things going on that require you to go around it. If this was another game I would probably put something like that in the chat, it's not that big of a deal. This game I'll usually just give a sarcastic response.

Maybe that was their colorful way of saying silence yourself? LOL

All jokes side that did make chuckle, always makes me laugh when people give specific ways to kill yourself when the rage. GG free report bait though.

I'd understand not standing in to avoid mechanics, but it was the final boss of Malikah's Well, in which all but one mechanic allow you to stand in the boss's hitbox just fine. Obviously, eating mechanics is bad, but if there's a heal just sitting there for you, you may as well inch slightly inward. But people aren't used to standing inside the boss's hitbox - hence the suggestion.

Oh yeah, then you are in the right here. You have to stand inside that boss constantly, and all that boss does is group wide aoe damage. There is literally no reason NOT to be in it then.
