    Funny thing about that.. the ones in statics run with their statics or FC normally. They're not the ones pushing for DPS. So they're not the ones causing the problems the OP is bringing up, even though many in the thread say raiders are elitists lol.

    I feel like 90% of the problems people like the OP have with dungeons could be solved by grouping with friends. Out of the last 100 or so dungeons I've ran (and this goes back as far as HW), I think I've had one bad apple in a group. Now take that chance and half it by grouping with a friend. Quarter it if running with 2 friends. And eliminate it with 3.

    For trials and alliance raids, no one hardly talks and they're over before anyone can even read the logs. So they don't matter.

    I made a suggestion in another thread, the one about 'what if the other DPS is low?' About how healers and tanks should run with a DPS on their server, even if they don't know them. It helps keep them from getting 2x apathetic DPS and quickens the run. Reason being is the person you're running with is more apt to do their role with effort since they've had some dialogue with a person they are grouped with.

    This could work here. Group with -Someone-. It could be a random person on your server. Just say "I'm a Tank, I want to group with someone for x Roulette". You will get so many responses it will be ridiculous. And those players will likely not use parses or nasty remarks with you.

    So there ya go OP, I've given you an EASY solution to your issue. Devs will be slow to react if they react at all to your plea at all. But my solution will help you NOW.

    But yet I still have my golden magitek armor, and I'm well on my way towards the next mount. Almost always get 1 commendation, quite often get 2 and a decent amount of 3s in my random experts.

    No friends needed.

    OP is either exaggerating, or he's on a datacenter full of nasty players, or he just sucks at his job and they're yelling at him for some other reason.

    I've only had one issue and that was in 3.3 with a DPS complaining about dying while standing in AOEs. They were kicked from the group when they wouldn't stop harassing me. Issue solved itself.

    More like the former rather than the latter. There's little difference between servers and datacenters. The number playing this game is too high for segmented populations to have significant differences. They're more likely jumping on a forum bandwagon after perceiving the experience once.

    Its kinda like being in a trial that requires a bit of a DPS check and if you say, "hey lets pick it up a bit" and 1 or 2 make nasty remarks like "you don't pay my sub" or "I'm reporting you for using addons!" And the only parsing you've done is watching a HP bar and using intuition to notice how long the fight has gone on. Yet those players will go to the forums about how they were abused.

    Suggesting to a group to not wipe is considered abusive and reportable offenses to many.
