Bard Macro lvl 60

[Nanga]

Being competitive is not "toxic" being toxic is toxic.

It's like when you're giving shit for being a "try hard", yes I'm trying. Why the hell aren't you?

You also are gimping your team by using macros.

If 7 others rely on you to try your hardest and you go the easy route instead of the correct route you are definitely being a hindrance if the content is difficult enough to where you are expected to do all you can to progress. Now if you have an injury and it isn't out of laziness I have no quarrel. If it's due to inability, then you shouldn't do the hardest content in the game.

Talking to people like this are all examples of toxic behavior. Take a good look at why you felt the need to cuss at me, call me names, and negatively describe how I play due to my disability...much less mock me for my disabilities. I mean, really. You basically told me I don't belong playing this game, the way I choose to play - with other people, because of my combat injury.

You chose to come at me with a very toxic attitude, rather than just accept the fact that not everyone is a pro player, and their reasons for it are okay. It shouldn't bother you, so why let it bother you to the point of replying in a manner that is demeaning and...well...toxic? I never described competitiveness as being toxic. I said "those types of players", and then elaborated further by pulling a subset of players out of "those types of players". Your reply shows you belong to that subset: one of the toxic players, in the group of pro players.

PS: just an anecdote, I played on a JP server for a long time, and let me tell ya, it was hard to earn their acceptance into their community, being an english-only speaking American. As much as it pains me to say it, and I don't fault them for it, they don't typically "like" us playing on their servers for some fairly obvious reasons. My experience there really put things into perspective of how folks should treat each other in a game. They are some really wonderful people to play with. Ultimately, it was only the ever-growing language barrier, and mostly the severely low population the server had become, that had me changing to US.

I just invite you to say to yourself: You know, not everyone can be the best at this game. Or any game, for that matter. And that's okay. They're having fun.
