How long before you met your first nasty user?

2nd day of early access

I think I'll start with a good thing, then bad.

I had a good exp with PF, which surprised me. So I had to do Hydra for my Relic, but since it's not DF, I decided to try PF. So I went and started to recruit around Coreaths and advertise. Soon, I got a full party, all very nice to me. I explained that I was new to this, I can help with songs and silence. They very nicely explained the fight and after 3 wipes, still wanted to go on, so we all worked together and pulled it off.

My first bad experience was just last week, and I've been here since Alpha. I was trying to do AK for my relic and just got out of the fresh 50 boat. I tried AK various of times with nice Pugs, but this one was really mean. So I got in and started off with my nice speech, "I'm new, etc." WHM starts bitching... "Oh god... I was hoping for good geared players." and the Mnk says, " We are never going to finish this off." I start to apologize for my lack of gear, I just started. WHM then says, "That's no excuse to be badly geared, are you stupid or something?" But they stayed, just before we even made the first turn in the dungeon, the WHM D/C'd and we were like, what now? I then turned to the Mnk and said, "good riddance, who want's to play with two idiots like you? You were a noob once too y'know. Karma is a bitch." and left. Thankfully after that dillema, I went again and got a very nice pug group who even lead me to the last boss and defeated it. :3

During a couple of hours of Early Access. I usually meet them daily though.

I very rarely meet rude people in the game, mostly in crystal tower but then again that is also rare. First rude person I met was in 2.0 beta, I suppose.

The forums, on the other hand... are like the cesspool of this game's community most of the time.

I was with you until the end. You saying that makes you just as bad as them.

I'd like to punch players like this in the mouth. Mouthbreathers that can't clear content unless they're 20 ilevels over the prereq, then take it out on newbies who are just trying to progress. Also you should've just reported him right off for harassment, seems to work real quick. Also I just got out of a WP with a fresh 50 dragoon, I was tanking it, everyone was nice, I explained fights, and we cleared it, one shotting everything, people who complain and harass over gear shouldn't be allowed to interact with other human beings.

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.

Did you let them now t'was your first time tanking it? First time I tanked Garuda HM I said so and asked for advice (had killed her previous times as BRD). They ran through it with me. showed me where to take after each stage, trial run, then a kill. Then I passed over 100 kills tanking her trying to get the sword >.<

the first time I used a gaming forum page was the first time I met a nasty player

[Jubez187]

Tonight. I went into CT with an FC mate for the first time. No one explained fights to me, they just screamed at me and said I was the worst Tank ever. I spent the whole night doing the quest, and then when I left the CT group I got the DF penalty so I pretty much wasted my whole night. I can't stand people who will take the time to yell, but not to educate. Oh, and it's not like we even came close to wiping...so I don't know why they were screaming.
