    Going in DF as a tank I've ran into more of these premade troll groups who do everything to make you fail. Healer in cleric the whole time, minimal heals and each DPS attacking randomly. They ignore markings, pull at random, use custom tells to trash you, spam medica and regen... sigh. If it happened 2-3 a week I'm annoyed but whatever's. But several times daily... its absurd. You are trapped and at their whim unless you cut and take a 30, get kicked or they don't roll on loot and stay in battle so you cannot do either.

    If I screw up I own it and fully expect grumbling. In honesty there is very little you can really do. If its really bad I usually wait 15 and leave. Mostly I'll reply with "Warning, party trolls detected, commencing random cat humor" then answer everything with meow, paw licks or "Puuurrs at your keyboard warriorness"..etc

    Funniest troll I've ever encountered was a WHM in A4 who was quarantined when the rest of the party was dead. They proceeded to self heal all the way to the enrage. It was terrible, but eventually the party began to acknowledge just how over the top this behavior was and even began to cheer them on.

    This game is weird sometimes.

    Just leave the instance or sit in a corner and go afk for 30 mins as soon as you see a behavior like this, but make sure you took a screenshot with names and characters' faces.
    It's better to get the penalty than dealing with this kind of guys. I mean, it's only a 4 men dungeon, even if someone is bad it's really easy to carry them on. They just want to act like morons.

    Afk - Watch netflix. Press a button once every 6 minutes until kicked. Report for harassment after they get mad and name call for a extensive amount of time.

    Hmmm can't say I've ran into a trully trollish premade... but yeah stop healing, sit down, don't do anything generally is what I'd do in such a case.

    We talking about actual trolls or people who just play badly?
    If it's an actual troll I'll report them, leave if it's really getting us nowhere. I'm not afraid of a penalty.

    Been playing since 2.0 and never run into this. Not once. If people are constantly telling you you're doing terribly... well no offense, but have you considered that maybe you're playing badly?

    I have seen this happen in 2.0... but only once. It was ifrit HM via duty finder, and half of the group (tank, healer, dps, dps) was a bunch of high-geared folks just based on their HP in the party list. They trolled the CRAP out of the group, wiping it at least 3 times on purpose, and blaming the other tank (who wasn't in their premade) every single time (and I know for a fact that at least one of the wipes was caused by the dragoon pulling the boss and dragging it over the group). The tank tried to protect himself, but they shouted him down each time (it didn't help that the tank wasn't a native speaker). The party dissolved shortly therafter.

    So yeah, this does happen, but it's VERY rare. I guess the moral of the story is: "Some people are just a-holes."

    I have no idea why you got that conclusion from that post, it seems pretty clear to me: bored high-end raiders trolling DF groups just because they can ('casual scum' being used sarcastically / ironically in this context). It's not a new phenomenon, and it's definitely not unique to FFXIV or high-end raiders for that matter. It's just... jerks being jerks.

    Comeing close to Heavensward there would be atleast one troll team every night between the different tower raids.If people never saw it then they were either part of said troll teams or never did these places.
    A lot of people quit doing WOD over the troll teams just to make this clear.All those people wanted at the time was there weekly crystal tower quest report but certain players decided to make teams to prevent them from doing that.I've seen it once or twice on Alex.Luckily i main Warrior so i don't have queu issues when you do end up in those kind of teams.
