Back in Dragonflight when I picked up the game with the release of the first Raid Vault of the Incarnates I did prepare myself for the nHC-Mode, watched guides and pov's. I did clear it. Was i good enough for it and did I pull my weight? Idk. I thought I could do the same for the HC-Mode but without preparing myself with guides ect. I thought it doesnt matter anyway because I'm only DPS and I had 0 responsibility on the nHC mode. I ended up eating shit, being one of the sole reasons why the group wasnt able to clear with me in the party. People pointed out that I'm the issue, that I'm clueless and that I'm not prepared in a rather toxic way. I got kicked and I wasnt even mad about it. I knew that I messed up, that I wasted the other players time and knew that I have to prepare myself for the next attempt.
Now imagine they would have acted like the FF raiding community and just disbanded the entire Raid. I wouldnt have learned from it and would have done it probably again. Thats the issue 14 has. Prog liars are not getting punished for their actions and will not stop doing it. I want to get shit done in a reasonable time and not waste over a week on something that could have been done in 1-2 Days because of selfish thinking prog skippers.
While toxic positivity is very present in PF and kind of in the FF14 community overall, I don't think flaming/being toxic to prog liars will achieve much anyway. They can just mute you/ not read the chat, and carry on with the prog lying. The only viable solution is for people to actively use the block/blacklist function a lot more. Only by denying entrance, they will perhaps understand that their behavior is bad.
