Parsing? Drama? ToS? Solution!

Stopping you there. It's your responsibility to find people who work well with you. No one else's. You and I both reach the same conclusion in that method from opposing view points - play with people you know, limit your interactions with those you don't.

Another thing we can agree on: Toxicity is an attitude. Both extremes are complicit and implicit in this, and there are players of all performance levels that are toxic. You don't get to blame one group or another for that trait.

A toxic player who performs well is useless and painful to a group who's struggling and learning as they'll ridicule, posture, and waste everyone's time arguing.

A toxic player who performs poorly is useless and painful and wastes everyone's time by arguing and not seeking to improve.

The dominating majority of players are in-between these two extremes and are just frustrated by their experiences with these extremes. In the typical bad situation they'll see these extremes in normal, every day people, who are just trying to get by their day with a little less stress.

So, try being human with one another first, and see if that makes headway. If not, then find someone closer to your needs for enjoying the game.

I enjoy the game, but It'll be more fun when people take more self responsibility and learn which content for them, if they can't then I hope one day the those who do not seek to improve themselves never see a savage or EX trials until they do.

To be honest. That's the story already for most people who are at that threshold. There doesn't need to be added pressure needed there, and people who are telling horror stories are often leaving out their contributions to the toxicity of the situation, granted ther are a few well broadcasted few clear cut examples on either side to continue to fuel the often needless fire.

I've found that a proffered hand is far better than a shaken fist when it comes to seeking improvement from others, but no tool is universally successful.
