    "Use Trusts" "Get Good" "You don't need to do this content lol."

    You know what kind of players will dominate this game if this trend continues. I have seen many a game experiencing this.

    It is simple: more grinding and unforgiving mechanism -> competitiveness and toxicity prevail; less grinding and unforgiving mechanism -> collaboration and friendship grow.

    Yoshi-p has a choice, so do we all.

    To those who mock casual players who have better things to tend to in real life: What are you afraid of?

    The falsehood of the sense of superiority? From a Small Small dungeon? Your refusal to understand the Main Story?

    You are entitled to enjoy the game your way, but not entitled to talk about other players in such a mean fashion.

    Get good in your etiquette, please. How other players play the game is none of your business.

    I am afraid of spending another 3 years falling asleep while doing my roulettes because the content is boring as hell and not entertaining. Hope this answers why it's good that we're getting better fight designs now. If I can dodge all these fast aoes when playing at 300ms ping, then so can others with similar handicaps.

    this is a smidge hypocritical and manipulative, and frankly, this smells more like a superiority complex than any of the "get good" responses do

    if you are trying to convince devs to stop innovating and progressing, or if you're dying endlessly to the same mechanics over and over because you can't be bothered to get yourself together, then how you play the game becomes everybody's business because you are the one being "toxic"

    sure, people could be a bit nicer about it, but no one is required to be nice about anything. the real world is decidedly not nice an overwhelming majority of the time, and no online space is required to be a little insulated pocket of fantasy

    if you're not good enough at your job, you lose your job. if you get in an accident because you're bad at driving, you have to pay for repairs. if your house explodes because you left the stove on, you don't have a house anymore. if you don't rest when you're sick, you delay your recovery

    alternatively, do you know what makes communities everywhere grow stronger? adversity. what brings humans together unlike anything else? struggle

    this has a double meaning here because:

    1. sometimes people aren't nice and that's a good thing, because end of the day, conflict breeds collaboration and abrasion breeds resilience and strength

    2. harder challenges to overcome breeds more communication and collaboration surrounding how to overcome the challenge

    both of these are objectively good and constructive things, and "toxic" people only take over a community if the "non-toxic" people leave

    if you're that worried about "toxic" people, find ways to overcome them; don't waste yourself becoming just like them via moral grandstanding and putting yourself and your views on a pedestal



    the online realm and especially modern online gaming has coddled people a little bit (a lotta bit) too much, but it's scenarios like this one that help spark growth out of that stunted, naive space. you have to find the value in it because it's definitely there

    More grinding and unforgiving “ mechanism “ = Development of skill to cultivate your ability to execute mechanics competently, enjoyment, collaboration, catharsis and jubilation through trail and error and finally consummation and accomplishment.

    Less grinding and unforgiving “ mechanism “ = Boredom, stagnation,regression, apathy, the reduction of people engaging with the content due to how facile it is.
