I keep seeing these threads each day, every week, every month.
In all my df runs I've never EVER been harrased and I've been playing since 2.0 started.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact I actually play my jobs correctly and that i'm not actively picking fights when someone says something retarded.

Here's some tips to prevent harassment in df:
1. Git Gud
2. Grow a thicker skin
3. Don't watch netflix
4. Don't start df when you might have something coming up that can interrupt the run, like dinner or the pizza you ordered shortly before you started(americans).
5. Don't victimize yourself when some evil dude on the internet hurts your feelings.(see nr 2)

And as much as you believe you see it, no, I am not taking things out of context.

Again, whether you see that you're going out of context or not, is entirely up to you.

By no means were they promoting harassment. If anything, they were just pointing out inconsistencies with the OP's story. I don't blame them for being skeptical given that this sort of thing has happened multiple times before. In fact, why not just play Foe's Requiem instead? If you believe there is a part in their post which implicates that, please do point it out. I really don't see it.


But, I digress. There wasn't really a point to this topic.

@Boosti,

don't let "The Eye of Moron"(*) win the day.

Add them to your black list. Don't bother putting gil spammers on that list, once they have been complained about they will ultimately be banned, but their character will not be deleted, so their silenced character will remain in your blacklist forever. Use the blacklist for players that annoy you instead of short lived annoyances such as gil spam.

* - The Eye of Moron : the disembodied collective ignorance, anger, fear, hatred and stupidity of a million immature voices united through the power of anonymity over the Internet - aka the Eye of Moron....

I have an eye too its called Eye of Automated Blacklist, anyone with a stupid name OR someone in chat being dumb/asshole(ish) I blacklist them end of story.
Need to put the ignorant in their place and let them know that their shit isn't tolerated.

No they weren't directly promoting harassment. But the general statement of needing a thicker skin to participate in duty roulette to deal with harassment comes with the implication that we as players are absolved of any responsibility to mitigate that behavior and to try and keep the community a generally positive experience for as many players as possible. And I distinctly disagree with that implication. That doesn't mean withholding constructive criticisms, but deliver that criticism in a way that remembers there's a human behind the entity you're critiquing. Not only is acting with respect generally the right way to behave, in my opinion it's the more likely route to get your point across.

Not sure what's so wrong about making that point tbh...

The absolute irony in this topic is that the very toxicity the OP pointedoutis on display in many of the replies that border on hostile. There is no excuse for bullying, it should never be tolerated, nor should it be expected. Bullying and similar abuse in not a natural part of the Internet, it is a consequence of too many people believing that they are untouchable and free of consequence for their words or actions. It's not a natural aspect of the Internet, its an unfortunate aspect of human nature free of restraint.

Each of us control only how we act and react, we do not control others words or actions.

Quitting because of one run with unpleasant people? Yeah, best you stick to single-player games. You won't ever find an online game without unpleasant people unless they severely restrict how players can communicate with each other. (like smash bros online or hearthstone)

[AsahinaMyLove]

Hey, I sometimes get kicked because I really dislike and dont support those so called "speed(...?)" runs! o_o
(No support means: I heal slow, no AoE/buffs as dps, I dont pay attention to additional mobs some idiot pulled as tank!)

They are worthless, annoying and shows only NO respect to the devs who maded these dungeons!
Also: "Speed" runs are NOT faster!

I join per Duty Finder! You meet -->random<-- people!
They cant expect every1 like the same thing! <.<

Sorry OP and others who are in the everything needs to be sunshine and rainbows hugbox camp but some times you have to call the baby ugly. If a person is under performing for that content they should be told they're doing so. It's up to them whether they correct this or not and it's up to the 3 others to decide if they're willing to put up with this or not afterwards. If they're not willing to accept accountability for their own performance they should be ready to deal with getting booted. I do feel some forms of insults do go too far but it varies. Through my time lvling drk, nin and now whm I've seen DPS under perform even what I was doing as brd back in the 2.x series, which is pretty bad to the point I looked at my performance and decided brd was not my thing. I don't expect Olympic Gold performance but I also don't expect a simple dungeon run to take 10+ minutes longer than normal if there's no wipes.
