My only issue in the game and in general is with people who hold grudges. Rub them the wrong way once and they'll never forget it and won't let you forget it either. Nobody likes someone with a chip on their shoulder.

I had a tank who used a macro to announce which target he was attacking. Seeing so much blue text resulted in me tuning out of what was being posted, but after a while a whisper caught my eye and above that was a wall of "Attack Carrier Ziz!" "Attack Dravnian Outfitter!" "Attack Ice Sprite!" etc. Realizing how pointless this was I asked the tank if he could remove the party spam from his macros. No response, so I tried to blacklist him but it didn't work. I grumbled vocally about not being able to blacklist party members, he asks who do I hate so much I want to blacklist so I responded the guy who uses a macro spamming which target he was attacking. He explodes into a wall of insults against me calling me all manner of names, insulting me in 3rd person, and argued his reasons for using the macro was so that bad dps would know which target to fight. He still failed to understand that I was only referring to the chat log spam even when another party member pointed it out to him.

This effectively put new players in a catch 22

new players can play with each other while old players play with each other - this is not a crime

it even happens in real life - old farts go play bridge and shuffle with each other while young whipper snappers go dancing at the clubs with each other

there is no catch 22

Yes, let's combat the vile players with more vileness. It's worked so well for Middle Eastern nations, right?

The american Civil War turned out pretty well I'd say.

Because while it is nice to have a relic +1, full Myth armor set for WP: It is not needed. So if I see someone shouting for 10-20 minutes: Running WP have a Relic +1, all Allagan armor, and I will do a gear check I am going to say: Dude its a level 50 quest meant to be done in AF. Not so serious please.

Two things:

Person you quoted said nothing about relics or wp. They didn't specify what they were gear checking.

It's absolutely fine if someone wants relic and full allagan for wp, if that's their preference. Who are you to message them and tell them otherwise?

My favorite are bad tanks who rushed to 50 on a DPS class yet they can't hold aggro, save goblins or even know where to go in simple dungeons like Brayflox, then when you call them out on it they start a peeing contest about how they've "cleared turn 1-4 of coil" as if that makes up for their laziness, ignorance and lack of skill as a level 34 tank/healer/etc.

The good news is that from all the lazy, poor/low skilled players (mostly tanks) I've seen leveling their alt classes in DF that have "Done Turn 1-4 of coil" on their mains yet can't hold aggro on more than one monster or mark them as tanks, don't DPS as healers, etc. coil must not be very hard.

Bads like that have always cleared what the hardest current endgame content is... every game they do. Its magic.

One time I was in a Brayflox DF group as a DD and a bad tank (no mark, weak enmity) made a simple mistake (accidentally stepped on the bridge and spawned the last set of flies) and instead of owning up to it tried to blame me and insult me while bragging about all it's level 50 achievements.

The group were all from the same FC so I sat my arse down and made them my b*tch for the next 75 minutes or so until the duty timer ran out. They couldn't kick me, they didn't want to give me loot, I refused to help them and they were too proud to leave and take the debuff so we all waited it out. The crappy tank actually made his crappy DD girlfriend we were carrying wait out the timer while she complained about being held there against her will. What a charming fellow.
