Raid behavior is getting worse lately

[DamianFatale]

I had my second bad run In a row today. I am proud of my sexuality, and I like to role play as an LGBT+ Mol Tribe member.

People took note of my search info, and decided to harass me in the Labyrinth of the Ancients. They kept putting the ignore 1 mark on me, and teasing me the whole time. I wasn’t there to roleplay. I was just leveling a DPS job, and trying to get through a roulette like everyone else.

It got worse progressively through the dungeon. I wasn’t feeling well already, because I’m a little sick, and as a I result I made a simple error, and died. No one revived me. They left me behind, and teased me relentlessly. I wanted to report them, but honestly something in me just froze up, and I got too afraid. I’ve had bad things happen to me In real life, because of LGBT+ discrimination, which I prefer not to get into due to PTSD. I just really want people to know that how they treat people in content matters. Please don’t forget that you are playing with real people, and that respect is important.

Who cares what people put on their search info if it’s not yours to edit, or filled with any hateful messages. I understand that old content is trash mobby, and can be boring for some, but it’s not an excuse to be unpleasant to others. Remember you don’t have to believe in anyone’s life style, and that it’s okay to disagree with othersX It would be really cool if most of us could just play this game together, and coexist without drama, or bullying for any reason.

It was just too hard to not comment, wasn't it?

Anyway, welcome to this loving community.

Before people get off track, I just want people to know that I’ve found that raid chat is getting a bit toxic, and I would like it if the community toned it down. The occasional dirty joke, and humor is fine, but there’s a difference between teasing, and that.

I think the main issue is your message isn't going to reach any audience that really matters. The forums are a minority of a minority. Although it's fine if you want to vent, I think you've been around enough to know there's a thread dedicated to venting about bad df experiences.

True, I just didn’t want it to go unheard. I feel like hate has been a pattern lately in raids the past month. I don’t even say anything to warrant the harassment, and it still happens.

Looks like Damian is back in the forums. Post LGBT rant about toxic raiding, which has nothing to do with raiders even, just bad people in general.

I’m not baiting... I think now I’m just going to delete the post. This was a real experience for me, and I shouldn’t of came here to talk about it.

Don't let them bully you off the forum Damian

Why not just post this in the topic that was already similar to this?

I don't have anything about being gay in my search patterns but several times it has come up in dailies/raids due to folks making comments and me responding to them.

I've never actually had a hard time with folks on my end, but I also now it's a big game and that won't be everyone's experience.

If they harass you report them and move on. This behaviour has nothing to do with raids it has only to do with the fact that some people will always judge and harass you because of how you look, your skin color or your sexual orientation.
