DPS who pull mobs

I dont know how you guys are having such problems with basic conversation skills but I've never really had any problems just asking groups what they want at the start of a run. I dont see bickering, or sulking or people falling out. What happens is after a question or two people just get on with it. I see no need to start kicking people when a simple question is more than enough. Just play nice kiddies, its not hard.

It's difficult to overstate how insane people can be on the NA datacenters. People sometimes go NUCLEAR over extremely mundane interactions, and a lot of people would rather just kick than risk the potential of dealing with an unhinged person having a bad day.

I was recently sitting in a casual FC call with someone I didn't know very well who was trying to get away with running a dungeon in glamour gear. The tank in their DF group noticed and asked flatly in chat if they had any better gear, to which the person flipped, raged in call, unequipped the rest of their gear and started griefing the dungeon on purpose and evaded getting kicked until the tank left and ate a penalty.

This game has an unironic mental health crisis, and not everyone wants to participate in it.

Sometimes I wonder about this too. I'm in Tonberry and played close to almost 3000 hours right now and I very rarely if ever had seen anyone making a big fuss about DF group being "too fast" or "too slow", everyone seems to be just doing ok with whatever flow is happening on the screen.

Votekicking someone for being slow--if they're not trolling, that is--is just mindblowing to me. Like, damn, chill out a bit.

This actually goes hand-in-hand with that other thread about the Three Strikes rule, how this is really only an NA problem, not so much EU or JP. And there's a reason for that.
