The toxicity starting to happen.

[WaxSw]

And how is it toxicity to not want to watch a video or read a guide? Read the normal guide for the game, yeah. But to have to go through diagrams, others play styles, and videos just to have fun and play a game? That's not your call to make. That's not anyone's call to make. An MMO is not locked to only one playstyle that has to be super effecient or the people playing aren't 'doing it right'. It's an MMORPG "RPG" Role Playing Game. Taking on a role. Playing that role how you see fit.

One thing is not having the most optimal playstyle, another things is going to a lv80 dungeon playing like if you were lv20 not doing combos, healing with your lv2 heals and single pulling without mitigating, that is toxic because out of lazyness and refusal to learn the tools the game gives you, you're making everything take more time than necessary and making other party members work harder due to you, as you have said this is an MMO, a MULTIPLAYER game, not a single player game where you can do whatever you want and it only impacts you ,so at least try, even if its out of respect and consideration to your party, and that's without mentioning high end content, there if you can't carry your weight you're out.

Also "Taking on a role. Playing that role how you see fit." No, when you take a role you play the role how the role is meant to be played (Because a role is that, a set of tasks that you have to do), this game does not allow you almost any freedom when it comes to skills and gameplay, you can't choose specs, stats, skills, etc, you have a fixed set, therefore there is a good way to play and a whole bunch of wrong ways, you break your combo? you are playing bad, you don't use mitigation? you're playing bad, you don't dps as healer? you're playing bad. Not only that but the "Play how I see fit" is the most selfish thing you can do, you're on a multiplayer game if you want to do whatever comes to your mind play a single player game but if you're with people try to not make their experience a living hell.
