Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[SturmChurro]

Considering most people are silent throughout a run..

nd even when there is a wipe, I would say most people would be willing to try again as long as there is progress being made.

I don't really think so, honestly. I see players chatting more often than not in most duties I've done... If we are doing like.. LoTA that's where I've actually seen the most "toxic" chat weirdly enough, well outside of like frontlines, or Bozja. I'm usually the one being called out in most duties for staying silent, as in actually being called out by name. No, I see people leave instances with actual new players all the time, actually quite often in dungeons.

You know what the funny thing is? A lot of the players with the biggest attitudes are the players choosing to play really badly, it's a very odd phenomenon.

and I've never seen people encourage anyone to not put on job stone or not AoE or not use tank stance.

Unfortunately, I have seen this. More often than not really. Healer DPS should be added here as well. Generally, I have seen, if there is a player trying to urge another to use aoe skills, or (especially) healer DPS they receive a lot of backlash. I've even seen them be kicked, for being "toxic" or whatever. A kick vote at the very least.
