Things to think about before you call someone "Bad"

[Vahlnir]

I dunno I'm starting to see new tanks get the "WoW" treatment in some of the lvl 25 Main quest scenarios. To quote a friend. "If I'm going to get called names every time I group I just won't bother" It's odd seeing toxicity rear it's ugly head in FFXIV, it's definitely different than it was.

Toxicity has always existed in FF XIV. So long as there are people, there is always going to be toxicity. Nothing has changed. I do think it's being blown way out of proportion though. Seriously, it's not as bad as you, or others make it out to be. Some people also need to take a look and think "maybe it's not other people, it's me". It doesn't happen consistently for no reason. Calling someone names isn't something I can condone, but if there's hostility whenever there's a particular person present more often than not...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the person claiming to be the victim which is the root of the issue, whether it's their general attitude or their lack of skill. Both of which can be fixed, in theory.
