Rude people in dungeons.

This type of behaviour is also good evidence to support the stance that all content in an MMO should be soloable through use of difficult/reward scaling mechanics.

So the answer to unacceptable behavior is to ignore it and isolate yourself from it.

That is how discrimination and bullying are allowed to exist.

What would be better is enhancing the current social system. Giving players more options when they use the Duty Finder, for example. In the same way you can filter by language, you should also be able to filter by skill (novice, intermediate, expert), by whether it is your first time in the dungeon, and when using Duty Roulette it should be built to place preference on finding players similar to your ability.

And above all players using the duty roulette should be keenly aware of the fact that for novice players they must use the duty finder, and that it isn't their fault that they aren't blessed with clairvoyance.

Don't infer from my 'soloing everything should be possible' viewpoint that I don't appreciate the positive social aspects of an MMORPG community. Grouping with friendly sensible mature tolerant people, wether they are veterans or new players, is great. I love that aspect of MMOs. What I donMt like, however, is speedrunning with strangers who don't communicate beyond insults, and silent groupmayes might as well be NPC bots as far as I'm concerned. In my one dungeon run so far, by far the most enjoyable part of it was a conversation with a veteran after we'd finished about my build and playstyle. She fave me some good advice and i rember her name, and zi'd make a point if saying hi to her if I met her in game again.

The lack of a good quest-sharing function in FF14 is a huge shame imo. I'm also nit at all looking forward to the inevitable elitist attitude to me when I get to raids where I want to watch cutscenes.

If there was a good global chat chanbel I could use to chat to other players whilst I soloed my quests and such, I'd be much slower to level and happy to take it slowly. I'd therefore be taking much longer to fo the contemt and SE would have my money for longer too lol.

It's a common misconception among the anti-solo crowd that soloists don't like to be social.

[QUOTE=Taecyeon;2112715]I'm pretty new to the game and learning everyday I recently started doing the dungeon quest and in the first one as I am just learning made a couple of mistakes. The tank there starts spamming "NOOB"..."NOOB"..."NOOB" I said well yes I am new and asked for advice and he said "Just learn how to play NOOB or get out"! Nobody said anything (advice or anything really)... except well NOOB... I battled through and went to the next dungeon basically the same thing happened...


Sorry to hear that you've had such a bad experience, luckily I haven't came across this. Have you thought about reporting them? Might just be a kick up the backside for them.

Don't let it get you down you can always switch the chat from party to avoid nasty comments, there are nice players out there hopefully you'll come across them next time

Not pointing this at you but usually if you say "First time here" or "Hey, I'm new. Could you tell me what to do?" I'd be more than glad to tell you how to tackle the bosses or mobs.

Every member of the party is essential, so helping you is helping myself.


But if you don't say a word and just tank/spank and die over... and over... and over again...

I'm going to be upset... especially if it's a low level dungeon that takes no more than 5 brain cells to complete

I did tell him. I set a macro up and said something like "Hi I was new to dungeons any advice is appreciated" and he did not listen.

And it may be true that it takes only "5" brain cells to complete but if you are new to dungeons you may feel intimidated and nervous at first.

Thankfully after the first few bad experiences the last few have been good!

It's so much nicer adventuring with people who want to help each other then put you down.

Following this thread and had a similar experience. Posted this on another thread in response to some comments made about inexperienced tanks, which I was until I deletd and started again with a THM

[Kienkarajo]

I know the feel bro, I started this game as a healer and at the beginning I screw up a lot of dungeons. Even at lvl 50 I screw up Titan HM coz I was not able to dodge those plumes , now I can heal without any kind of problem because not all of them were assholes and they thought me what should I do. Sorry to hear that your first experience was bad but not all of them are like that.

[Tirnoch]

Sorry to hear your dungeons experiences have been terrible. D:

I'll never understand people that just want to capslock and whine like a baby at a mistake someone makes when they're obviously new rather than offer helpful advice. It's one thing if that person refuses to listen to any advice you offer, but it's another if you refuse to offer any advice and just spam the word noob over and over again. That's the kind of behavior I'd expect out of a 12 year old.
