So, can we just ban damage meters already.

I have 2 alts I've taken through Ultima Weapon. Worse incident I saw was a tank blowing up at the astrologian who was just trying to learn their job in Stone Vigil, but I've seen it in Brayflox with the add pulls too. No commentary about how to improve, why they should be aoe-ing, how they need to check their new abilities or *shudder* equip their job crystal. Just Vitriol and kick.

Is it the majority? No, of course not. Ff14 wouldn't be known for its friendly community if it was. The op wanted to leave parse shaming out of low content, and I'd agree that 15-45 is good room to allow growth without explosive harassing. I'm not saying ban fflogs, or parsing. I enjoy it myself for improving. I'm saying leave it out of the low low content

Do you know how we will really ensure something bad never happens? By removing the ability to use the chat during any DF party! People keep blaming stuff like ACT, but in reality, players can only bully others because they can use the chat. The chat is the source of all evil in this game and needs to be purge!

This is, of course, a joke. Yet, with how "report happy" people are I won't be surprised if at some point becomes a reality.

Edit: Topic like this are always going to blow because there is a sector of the player base that wants to push for "you will carry me no matter what" mentality. And is only "toxic" or "bad behaviour" what others do not what they do.

Oh, no I need the chatbox to survive Prae runs. It's the only way to stay entertained! I'd also miss the occasional useful tip, or the players that do ask for help and are glad to get it. (So many new drgs this expansion, aye aye aye!) Honestly the best thing is to continue the honor system and hope we have better attitudes in learning dungeons. I'm sure it was just one bad incident out of a hundred, but it shouldn't be happening at all.

Blocking parsing would turn into a backlash disaster (and not just from PC players, several of us on ps4 enjoy getting numbers from our statics as well) and I'm not asking for more enforcement or a giant red button that summons the Twin Adders when someone is upset. Just noting that the op's request, to not blow up at people in low content, esp if they are just trying to learn was a good one. I would absolutely replace a player that was continuously messing up/going afk (why!) in current or recent content, though. Time and place for things!

Ah, I see the edit. Yeah, that person going carry me Senpai would fit under replace asap. I do partially get the majority of the posts in here; I'm sure everyone has had THAT player in their group. As for mass reporting, is it really that bad? I hear it is, but I honestly don't know anyone in game that is report happy (other than the occasional bot). We just blacklist or complain to each other on discord, so I find it harder to empathize with that part, I guess?

I'll let everyone get back to hating on the brd watching YouTube though.
