Degradation of humanity in general?

[Truefaith87]

Seems like alot more people are turning into trolls now in any run. 4man you really don't notice it as bad, but when running things like CT, it truly seems to bring out the worst in people. Tanks who refuse to wait for parties, people who are new asking for boss fight mechanics to be told (I have macros, yes they do seem to spam chat from time to time, but it details the mechanics quickly), and namecalling in general have just reached absurd levels as of recently. I know every MMO will have its community of trolls, but this is just getting out of hand lately.

Its not that big a problem, Ofc in 24 man content your going to have some less then steller individuals, but hey, you get your loot and your done.

Theres no reason someone new to lvl 50 would pass up a free 80 piece a week. Sure it helps to watch a vid tho.

For some weird reason (from my experience) anyone new or anyone who makes any mistakes are considered a "troll". I've had actual trolls in CT where they just run in and pull every time without anyone there or any ready check - and when you tell them "don't do that" they just keep doing it. But if it's just someone asking you how the boss fight works or accidentally pulling something then it's understandable. That kind of stuff happened in CM all the time and nobody called those people trolls there.

First off, lay off the word troll, only trolls call others troll, plus saying troll is like saying Groovy, it's just old and done to death, no longer effective and just makes the user of the word troll just come across as lame/immature.

Secondly, there is a real solution to people who do what I quoted above; Stop healing them, when I go as WHM, if someone pulls that crap, I don't heal them, let them die and tell them (in party chat) that I will not heal them until they cut the crap (so the others know why I'm letting the tank die.) That usually works and if it doesn't, let him die a couple more times before bringing up the Kick From Party option. If you're not a WHM/SCH, then just tell the healer to stop healing the jackass and most of the time they will listen (they are just as annoyed at the jackass as you are, but usually are too shy/non-confrontational to do anything about it, all they need is 1 person to tell them and they are usually on board.) I do the same thing when I do low-level dungeon runs, if the tank doesn't want to go after the chests, I tell them that I will not heal them during the bosses until the chests are picked up. Just cause they don't want the chests, doesn't mean other party members don't. I've been playing FFXI for 11 years now, FFXIV from launch until servers went offline and ARR since the alpha, my tolerance for people who act like jackasses ingame is non-existent at this point and that's not gonna change.

Dafaq you trolling him? Why would someone say this to someone else? Their statement was so innocent. You have to be trolling them

Groovy dude
