The Raid community as we know it

[KisaiTenshi]

Reality would like a word with you. South Park is absurdly popular, as is Deadpool and a whole host of "filthy unwatchable" entertainment.

South Park is mean-spirited Political Satire. See also Charlie Hebdo. The problem is that it's viewers are often not smart enough to see the satire and think it's just punching a target because the target is high profile.

Comedians will tell you that you always punch up, those in power, politicians, religious figures, CEO's, basically anyone who uses their power in abusive ways, because if they raise their hand to punch back, it shows you that the person with power will readily abuse it and should be stripped of it.

Deadpool on the other hand is a special kind of narrative that still has to hold back or get an "adults only" rating and thus can't even be marketed.

I would love to see where an individual has ever been kicked for not having specific achievements or minions. Please. >.>

Seems like every time we have a thread about Raiders bringing toxic behavior outside their static safespace we inevitably have people looking at the lodestone to try and prove the other person hasn't cleared something. Raiders clearly do look at the parser sites as a reason to kick people, so let's not pretend it's not happening.

Except sometimes individuals need to be pointed out when they make a mistake. Broadly saying "do mechanics" when it's just one person messing up isn't going to help, because that person may not even think its them (or they could, and just not care, but that's an entirely different situation). If you have someone who is falling severely behind in DPS, if you are knowledgable in the job they play, you should always directly extend advice to them on telling them how they can improve; otherwise, it's possible they will never learn.

Yet, who's fault is it? Finger pointing often comes with the price of "You not doing so hot yourself"

If you have a healer who has the arrows pointing at them to stack, and the healer stops moving to let the DPS catch up, and half the DPS don't even move, who's at fault? If we keep failing the mechanic because half the party won't move, even after being asked twice, then that has to become a vote abandon because nothing is going to let that party even get past that phase.

You can offer all the advice in the world to other players, but if people are just playing healer or tank to get a quick queue and don't actually care about the mechanics, then it creates a miserable experience for everyone.

Being a bully about it just makes people want to get rid of you, even if you are right. I'm sure we've all had the party where once we kick the rude person blaming others, now suddenly everything moves smoothly.
