How long before you met your first nasty user?

[Kaelah]

The thing is we fought Ifrit twice and it was while we were fighting Ifrit that the rude user just started shouting "NOOB" "NOOB" "Wipe". After that we all got killed. I blame myself for that because this guy was screaming and while I'm trying to heal, I'm trying to read his posts too.

Just ignore the party chat if you get one of "those" players, and concentrate on healing. You'll see much more of them at level 50.
I think I saw my first angry players in Brayflox's Longstop... other than that, level 50 dungeons. Some people just can't stand a wipe when a new player is in group, they seem to forget how they were new once too. Had it last night in CT, we had 3 new people in group C so we wiped a few times, someone is group A was being an amazing douche about it.

I met my first nasty user while running Brayflox for the first time in October. I was a new tank, and though I did research I didn't have any experience in that dungeon.

My initial group was doing well, but after the second boss we kept wiping. In retrospect I was pulling terribly, but no one guided or gave me tips. We lost our healer and the replacement was pretty nasty. After our first wipe we got into a disagreement about holding hate, to which my response was that the DPS needed to hold back a bit; his response was "Hate is your problem, not mine." From there it just went down hill, and once we beat the final boss his only response was "What the ####". I haven't played Brayflox's Longstop until this week, and I almost stopped tanking altogether.

Brayflox was also my first bad experience. Nothing extraordinary, just a lot of 'wtf are you doing?!!!?' and 'OMG you suck!!' during my first run ever.
Since then, I wholeheartedly expect every single party I'm in to have at least one overly abusive intolerant member; I'm usually right. Somehow I made it to level 48 where I attempted Aurum Vale...
I did give up tanking that day. I'll probably give up on this game all together pretty soon.

Oh man, AV is pretty much the breeding ground for nasty entitled players. If you're able to survive that place and the abuse of party members though, you're all set to tank the rest of the game.

I had that dungeon in my GC quest list since a couple weeks after launch. I finally got it done the other day. Most of the groups dissolved before downing first boss, no one wanting to learn what to do, not listening, then rage quitting. Had a run i felt was going that way the other day, started great, joined in progress, no issues with anything until last boss. Two SMN in party, had a hard time getting the adds down, healer kept going down. He left after insulting us. We wait a bit, wondering if waiting for a new healer would be worth it, and after ten minutes, new healer, downed boss in one, no issues.

My first bad player experience, was in Quarn near launch. First boss, i had never done it before, no one gave advice. We wipe. I get told "Learn strats noob". No one says what to do, we wipe again. After a while, tank tells me what to do, mind you, it was all BS, and wrong. He said, don't kill bees, stand on platforms unless you get doom, then run off. Yep. Wonder why we kept wiping.

For all the bad experiences though, they are few and far between. Many more awesome parties, with people letting people watch cutscenes, learn fights as we go with wiping at each new mechanic, no raging, etc. Those are the groups that keep me playing, especially since there isn't a recount type thing here, which seemed to cause most troubles in WoW that i saw.

I've done about five Brayflox runs on my SMN in the past two days and every one of them saw users politely helping others and giving tips. I had a great first run in Aurum Vale, but that's because I entered with a pre-made party and the leader knew up front that I had never been there. There will always be nasty people, but all I can say is don't give up tanking, if that's what you want to do! It's a hard job, especially when you enter into a place with no experience, but you can do it!

First day i ran a lvl 50 instance....
Good place to add the really dick behavior I've started seeing lately of vote kicking a player then mass abandoning the instance, mostly for no reason at all

there have been a lot overall, the first was in my first week of playing the game, i was fortunate to have some very fun experiences in every dungeon and liked most people for the most part. However I joined my first garuda hm and i had my weaver gear on while waiting for que, (that was before i knew about gear set), so when the window popped up i only changed my weapon. As soon as we went in the tank just started the fight, my healing was obviously weak since all almost all my gear was weaver except the weapon. However the other healer was throwing such vile and childish insults like "noob healer", "kill yourself irl" etc, and more, this didn't stop through the whole run. This has been the only time in the game where i had to change from chatlog to battle log, cause i wasnt even going to respond to someone like that.

First real rude player I met was only a couple of days ago.

Signed up for low level duty roulette on my 50 PLD was 2 new players and a level 50 healer. So we buff and start. me pointing out things to the new players, healer tells me to rush. I say no. Healer shouts in chat "NO?!!!". Walks back to the entrance and stays there telling us to, quote, "kik me".

Which we refuse to do, he then goes on a rant. We report and chat in party. 15 minutes later he disappears. No idea if he finally left or was removed due to reports. New healer joins, we finish the dungeon and everyone is happy.

level 46 not sure how long ago that was.
