Serious note -Why so many toxic players lately?

[Roeshel]

Why did you feel the need to say anything when they didn't respond? You could have left it alone. You got snotty when they didn't reply to you and now you're surprised that someone had a bad reaction?

Isn't the OP allowed to have a bad reaction after being ignored? I have kicked and would kick people who are playing bad and refusing to communicate. I am your party member, you treat me as if I don't exist. Okay, then you don't exist as well, begone from the party.

People saying that the OP was toxic are mad. I am still trying to understand how you think that ignoring those who are legit carrying you is the smart way to do things. When you don't meet the standards expected in the random party you are in and don't explain why you are dragging us down you are out.

If I was OP and if the DNC was doing little to nothing, I would have sent just one to two messages. If they don't respond - kick, if it doesn't go through play or leave. I usually don't bother with DPS players. Tanks are the ones who can potentially disrupt my gameplay the most as I mainly play healer. Tanks pretending everything is fine in 70+ dungeons when they are pulling 3 mobs at a time and are not using cds on top of that are out. It's not that I need them to use cds to survive small pulls. I need them to show me that they are playing the game. You not communicating actually only increases your chances of getting kicked. Tanks who say stuff like "I will do it with my own pace" in 71+ will get the golden opportunity to do so with NPCs, not with real people that you are only going to disrespect. They get kicked easily because most of the time at least one DPS has enough common sense.

Like seriously, what is the point of using DF instead of Trust if are awful and you don't like human interaction. The npc-s can carry you as well. You only need to walk in front them.

Just to play advocate;

Ain't anyone else entitled to express how they felt about the OP's tone? Ain't they entitled to point out that two wrongs don't make a right? Why would anyone have to blindly agree with the given OP about something? Can't they disagree, even if it's a bit harsh? Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect when one make blanket statements or comes off with a tone with a chip on their shoulder that folks ain't going to like them?

I know that the OP is allowed to do a lot more than just being upset that they got ignored. Kick them or leave yourself. Don't waste your time with garbages. Say all you want to say and move on.

Two wrongs make a right in some cases btw. It is wrong to have cancer but at the same, it is wrong to cut open a human body which is what is happening during surgery.

Sure you can disagree all you want and falsely accuse them of being a troll and toxic. People are allowed to be wrong. People are generally wrong about lots of stuff. But no, their actions are not reasonable.

Reason or "reasonable" is not some shared warped perception of the masses. Reason is created from logical thinking which many people fail to do with consistency. Unless someone has been part of the FFXIV forums for a while they will see that a lot of these responses are not in any way reasonable but when you get to know the community for a while you will understand that this is their understanding of "reasonable" which is baffling to anyone still sound of mind.

Considering they abandoned the thread and haven't been back since I'm a little suspicious myself.

Do you really expect people to continue wasting their time with the forum after seeing how most people reply? Just imagine for one second that the OP is actually being genuine. What reason do they have to continue reading BS page after page?
