Abuse for being a new player, any solution?

And where else should he go and be heard then? Please tell me. Because surely this isn't an open forum, relevant to both the content of the game he's encountered a problem in, nor a place where such complaints can be heard and perhaps advice given or even players and devs notified of said concerns, right?

You basically just told the victim of a crime that they were the reason the crime was committed, and that by speaking up only encourage the crime to be further committed. You're wrong for that. I would expect you being a "new" player yourself to not only be able to understand but perhaps empathize.

Shed no tears and voice no complaint if (or WHEN) it happens to you.

I've noticed many will try getting a vote to abandon going, quit, try getting someone else in the party kicked (then quit if there is another wipe or things don't go smoothly for them) as soon there is a wipe, but most of my first clears in extreme battles have come from dedicated players voting against abandoning and trying until we win. When we cleared extreme Thornmarch, we finished the boss within a minute of the time running out. It was a very rewarding victory, despite the difficulty in attaining it.

Personally it makes me more determined to keep trying to win when someone is new to a battle and having a hard time clearing it. Best thing you can do is not become like those short tempered people and don't side with those who start pinning blame on people as soon as there is a wipe. Have a positive attitude and shine as an example of a better type player. Vote no to any abandon and kick votes, unless someone is disconnected or purposely causing problems for the group.

So I try "Titan EX" for the first time... Then they vote-kicked me. This is depressing.

I mean, it was a mistake.

You will meet douches again in this game and it seems to be contagious at times. PEople going in DF and expect a first shot kill are douhces... BUT, bes way to conter that problem is to explain the group you are new and all you want is to learn and hopefully clear.

It works very well and honestly, the douches don't even try the insults because they know we are in DF and their criticism wont be well received. In the other hands, if you guys wipe a few times in a row, precisely because of your mistake AND people gave you tipes and epxlanation... but yet, it seems you wont just get it.. then i could understand, not the insult part, but the vote kick part. And that, for me, would need A LOT wipes and SAME mistake over and over for me to vote kick.

I actually vote kick the douches who insults the knew guys.

Obviously the tank was a turd... If he had no time to try and teach you or help in any way, then he was just being pathetic. I did Titan Extreme myself as a Scholar with my free company, a new player joined (White Mage) and he failed miserably on the first three attempts.. My current team and myself decided to give him advice and try train him to the mark during the first three attempts.. fourth time lucky, we downed him. Though I was with my FC and we were pretty damn good.. So maybe a boost in most respects.. Though he only died once on the final round. Moral of the story, new players aren't so bad if you teach them.

The advice I always give players no matter the game ... go read up / watch vids (youtube has so many) at least then you're coming into the fight knowing somewhat of the the fight.When you come in totally green you're asking for a death.But it does suck people get like this , after all it is only a game.

Its pretty easy for me, Did you watch a guide? alright, you know the basics, now you just have to master them, mistakes will happen.
are you one of those players that insist of learning by mistakes? Fine, go make a PF group to practice, don't waste the time of 7 other people in DF just because you're to lazy to watch a guide for content that has been out for god knows how long.

Still no reason to kick, but hey.

One thing about this game is you're gonna have to get use to watching videos for any fight. People don't like wasting time and get pretty upset if you do. Not saying it was right to do it after one try but if you watch a video you at least know what is generally happening.

This right here, I cba to sit and learn the people every fight for an entire hour, if there are SO many videos out there, i don't mind people that need to get used to the mechanics as they already watched a video. But someone going in blind i will just not like what so ever. And ofc, only for the harder content, Dungeons and stuff like that idc.

One time was in T9 vi DF........... Yes i thought I'd let that sink in and of course no one was expecting to clear really but after a few wipes and about 7 meteors the other tank decided he had enough and started the vote abandon. Well me the whm i came in with and every one else decided we wanted to keep going.

SO he said vote kick me we wer like no you qued T9 in DF what you expect we wanted to keep trying so after next wipe and the next and the next...next........he kept trying to vote abandon but we still wanted to keep going so i pulled boss he kept trying to pull off me to wipe us i think he did this by the second next and kept getting us killed.

All because he didn't want to take a 30 minute lock out penalty wasted our time and his cuz by the time i got so fed up with this guy over 30 minutes has gone by since his first vote abandon.

long story short baby got his BA BA.

This is the problem right here. People expect that you'll be looking at guides or videos outside of the game before even doing the fight. I don't know how this became the norm, but this is nothing but horrible thinking. No gameplay, nor the people playing it, should not require looking up videos/guides to experience it. I've never done this, and I never will.

OP, my best suggestions are to grow thick skin. Be forthcoming about being new. Ask good questions about what is going on, so you can quickly absorb the fight mechanics. Some people will always complain. Let them.
