Welcome to Ifrit Hardmode

[RedEyeDeath]

Title was the first thing a pick up group said to my party upon joining this instance. A fellow party member was typing "First time here, sorry" Before He could type the sentence out he was dead b/c these two or three decided to go ahead and start before we even had protect up. Were gonna call these three HPL#1, #2, and the OK one. In case anyone was wondering what this stands for its Hopelessly Pathetic Lifestyle. Three came from my world, two I believe were solo, and the HPL12 and their OK one.

In an effort to not violate the ToS I wont post their character names although I do have them if needed And one chimed in
"HPL#1: Welcome to Ifrit Hardmode"
"HPL#2: "LMAO..."

So we get to start the battle "for real" as one of them said. I wanted to take a little bit of time to explain some things to my two new guys and I will do so before we register the fight from now on.

Anyway as some of you probably know learning primal hardmode mechanics can be a task, being grouped with players like this can make it exhausting and really ruins the fun off gate. It doesn't create a welcoming atmosphere for new people trying to learn the mechanics nor does it help anybody that after two wipes the one I decided to dub "OK" said he was going "afk" and his two lackies decided to pull Ifrit towards the group immediately for a few more wipes. (Would this be an example of "Grieving" another player? Behavior like this should not be tolerated but thats just my humble opinion.)

HPL#1: "We should put this on youtube, this $*** is funny."

So after a few more wipes given to us by HPL#1, they decide to start playing "for real" again. So we get a little further than we got the previous attempts because people were learning to dodge which was good.
I dubbed the OK one this b/c he actually gave me a decent suggestion to turn ifrit a little bit while I was main tanking him. That was his/her only redeeming quality. They ended up leaving anyway after one more fail and that was that.

1) Did their behavior violate anything about the ToS for playing FFXIV: ARR ?
2) At what point did gamers become so hostile towards one another?. This isn't a FPS, there isn't PvP available yet. Edited:Not trying to stereotype but make a comparison. In a fighting game, fps, strategy online game most of the time the objective is to "attack" the other players. Sorry if my wording confused anyone.
