How long before you met your first nasty user?

[Sammich]

I've been playing since early access and I don't think I've come across anyone who I would actually consider rude, yet. The closest have been a couple of people who were a little too bossy, but I know that they were just trying to be helpful. Definitely never had anyone insult me for little or no reason.

Admittedly I have a lovely FC who I generally run with, but when I've run on my own my party members have been very kind and patient toward each-other. Since the commendation system arrived I have had quite a few runs where I genuinely wished I could commend everyone for both their performance and sociability I think my first experience with a nasty user will be a real shock to the system

I'm shocked that it took 4 pages before a troll posted in here.

Maybe the community isn't as bad as we thought.

During my 3rd Dzemael Darkhold run while I was about level 45. Tank who didn't want to listen to IMO very gentle advice. Guess I've been mostly lucky regarding unpleasant encounters since most of the time I leveled up with a very dear friend.

Nothing about the lv.45 unpleasantness compared to the last two story missions though. I haven't logged in since the credits rolled. I'm not gonna spend time with such a community if people are like how I saw them be throughout the endgame. Judging by everything I'm hearing it'd only be getting worse after Praetorium too.

Trampling all over first timers in a god damn feature that's supposed to be there to help them (duty roulette) seems absurd to me.

Story mode Garuda. Some asshat was getting on my case for not knowing how to do I fight that I'd just gotten to.

I've played since 1.0 Beta and I met my first in-game troll last night in CM. I'll spare you the details and everything worked out in the end anyway. Vote. Kick. Replace. Win. Thank goodness for that feature!

For what it's worth, all my low-level duty roulette experiences have been good, probably because the dungeons are easy, low-stress, and not populated with speed-runners. Also, last night we did the Cape Westwind fight and needed a couple of people to fill out the party, so I did a /y at Mor Dhona and FOUR players offered to help! It's a quick and easy fight, of course, but it was nice that people were willing to help. Unfortunately, I totally derp-offtanked through the whole thing and embarrassed myself, but they were polite about it at least.

As others have said, it started for me at lvl50 and endgame. I've dialled it back a bit and I'm playing much more casually and enjoying it :-)

I can't remember the dungeons name, but it was the one with the flying eyeball that patrols the caves and AOEs all over the place. I warned the group it was my first time tanking it, and the first thing out of someone's mouth was "lol no AF gear"... The mood is set, and it just continued getting worse throughout the dungeon, even though we were still doing half decently. I finally couldn't take it anymore and left 75% of the way through the end boss fight. Was also the end of me tanking for a few months...

To those who say "get better" how? If every time a new player enters an instance, they get yelled at for not knowing it? How are they ever supposed to get better? Endgamers need to step up and help people out. I'm still taking it slow myself, but I don't have a problem with repeated wipes while teaching new people how to do something. They learn, they get better, and they feel good about the game when they pass the dungeon. Then when we move on to the harder stuff, they are better prepared and not stressed out worrying about some jerk calling them a noob or worse. If you want smooth runs with only people who know the run, then don't DF it. Pre-make your group and leave the new people alone. They don't need your bad attitude.

I had a bad party in Garuda HM once when I was farming for the weapon. They told me I didn't know my job as it was my first time MTing it and you know what I did? I said, okay... solo tank this. And I left. Now when I'm in a new fight I watch closely to what's being said and ask for any tips and I do get them.
