Luckily the majority of FFXIV players are super nice and friendly. But..

I was trying to advance the Hildibrand quest line with my friend tonight, and we were on the Ultros/Typhoon fight. (*Which isn't that hard) Someone in our group was furious with the first wipe, and rage pulled immediately after the fight reset. Giving us no time at all to get some information on it. Of course we wiped again, which resulted in more yelling and harassment.

This kind of thing ruins what is supposed to be a really fun fight into a chore. We can't even explain the fight to other new players if we wanted to. The 3 Elitists in our group kept pulling. (*there are a lot of returning players to the game right now by the way)

Just typing this made me feel a little better. Being berated by some of the rudest most elitist players ever was exhausting. Thanks to those of you who are aware there are real humans behind these screens, trying to enjoy a game as much as you.
