Premade Troll Teams

It happens in all content, usually as it becomes older. They're now in Alexander & I've completely lost any interest in running it with PUGs even though I need to get a particular drop.

Annoyingly they tend to be people who have done things like Savage with their statics so think it's great fun to rile up the "casual scum" who can't dedicate the time and/or money.

I'm not sure what this even means to be honest?

I am fairly certain he is passive aggressively telling the OP that they are casual scum and a bad player, and that the people telling him he sucks are experienced vets who know how to properly play their class as they've cleared the hardest content in the game.

OP, I kind of agree with Maleviction. I've never seen this, and if it's a common occurrence, then maybe what they are saying are actually tips to try and help you. I know that when people tell you how to play, it can appear offensive. Just remember that tone isn't very well conveyed through text and maybe they weren't trying to be as mean as you received it?

BINGO This is precisely what happens. And its not just a FFXIV thing either. Same thing happened on WoW with their Looking For Raid que. People who cleared hard modes would que as groups to troll casuals and punish them for not being "real" raiders.

Some people are only happy if they are making others miserable.
