Hello! I thought I would reply to clear up some misconceptions and untruths from the OP - seeing as I have been mentioned by name despite being a Healer in this run and not directly part of their qualms.
Firstly, the OP did not post screenshots of "insults" and "harassments" because they do not exist. They did not happen. Before the run, when it was clear there were two players sniping, I politely asked if they'd be willing to not do so, and if they wanted to anyway, that's fine, it's their right, but we will treat them as solo players. Once they got into the run and two players who had been waiting had to spectate, they did not reply to our message, nor show any indication of interest in joining us or recieving callouts. They remained mute, and ignored us. Again, fine - we left them to their own devices.
They claim that they were "intentionally killed by a tank buster" in the second boss. So for those who haven't done the encounter, let me explain how that tank buster works. There are 3 bosses, and 3 large cleaves - these are to be aimed outwards, and the group would stack on the inside to give them space. When the tank buster went off, the OP is standing on the outside of the boss, and got hit by the cleave. It was their own fault. As an aside, OP was on tank - they would have been fine standing in front of the boss for that cleave, had they popped a cooldown.
The OP's friend died to the next mechanic - one where you must cleanse your own color debuffs by standing in specific positions. They failed the mechanic and died. Both their deaths are due to their own mechanical failures.
We did not raise them, and I do not feel bad for not doing so. They showed no inclination to join the run and participate in any way, and they had no idea how to deal with the second boss' mechanics. The Bridge encounter, which directly follows, is very easy to wipe if players aren't extremely careful of trap placements and positioning. We had already experienced a near miss after the first boss where the OP nearly killed a number us to running through trap infested zone. We did not trust them.
Whatever your personal feelings are on whether the Forked Tower is equivalent to Duty Finder content or not is irrelevent. The fact remains that in the vast majority of cases, BA, DRS and FT are cleared by pre-mades with callout assistance. These players were not harassed, bullied and insulted - they joined a collaborative run, decided to not collaborate, died on their own and decided to play the victim because they saw that I was a content creator. I was not streaming this run, after politely requesting they not snipe beforehand I said nothing to them and didn't interact with them, and yet I am mentioned by name as an attempt to garner sympathy.
You are not victims to some big mean organised run attempting to ruin your day. You just didn't like the way an interaction played out, and decided to embellish it to rile up emotion. Good luck in the future.
