Player Respect, where did it go?

[Jijifli]

Sorry, but I have to say this.

Welcome to MMO's. If you can't take it, I recommend removing your chat.

Until now other than JP data center community is really that bad? I mean, I keep seeing "toxic and salty in DF" thread in this place while I only use auto-translate <Let's do it!> and <Good game!> when doing DF.

One thing I've come to expect on the Internet, is to never expect people to be nice and/or respectful.
Above all, some of these disrespectful players think they can throw their e-peens / crowns (I'm looking at you mentors!) around like it has tonnage.

I'd say the next time something like this happens, laugh it off, share the love in the DF Horror Stories thread, and then remind yourself, you play this game for your own enjoyment.
Life's too short to take a bunch of rude people on the internet seriously.

This ^ Sadly some people just enjoy the misery of others, so you win by not even letting them ruffle your feathers. I mean... Blm saying someone is pulling to many mobs? As a Blm when I see big pulls I smile, as should any great blm.

But on another note. Rhyku said it best. Don't let them ruin your experience, and enjoy the game and all its greatness. And a little tip that you may know or may not know, Nin can dish out great Aoe damage. I'm new to Nin, but always willing to share what I know to help out...

Once the tank get officially settled throw down the Doton, during this moment reset your haste with armor crush and then once your ninjitsu is close to ready, pop blood for blood, and internal release. Then throw Katon fire aoe, Kassatsu, then throw another Katon aoe fire, followed by repeated death blossoms. With blood for blood up and internal release, and haste up, you can throw them fast and they become another heavy dot within themselves. Sometimes i can crit each death blossom for 1k + like this.

Hope I helped out a little, enjoy the game, forget about that dude, and make friends doing the little things in game. You'd be surprise some of the people you meet. Cause if you ever feel yourself getting to grindy, just always remember, Yoshi P put a lot of different stuff in this game, and I mean a lot, just look at the market boards. LOL Take care, and just enjoy learning new stuff everyday

Personally, I've found the opposite. I find people are much more likely to be disrespectful if you go in expecting them to be. That is, once you expect them to be that way, you'll treat them that way (consciously or subconsciously) and then they'll be more likely to be rude back. I go in to each roulette expecting that people will be decent, and that the person on the other end of the monitor is not much different than I am - just some person playing a game and wanting to have a good time. I very rarely run into rude players.

Let's get one thing straight. The community in the game IS aggressive BUT, it is also oversensitive. People tend to feel attacked whenever they are given advice, be it in PC form or directly. Bad players get cuddled and carried all the time. Sure I don't kick or leave every time I encounter a less than perfect player but I do try and give them advice and if it is received badly and they start arguing, there is either the vote kick (I usually am in a dungeon with my OH) or I leave.

OT, never punish the rest of the party because one player is an idiot. If you really don't want to leave, just close your chat and continue the dungeon not paying attention to the person. Why do others have to suffer double? You would be out of that person's face sooner if you would just hurry up and finish the dungeon. Of course, you usually can vote kick even though it wasn't possible here.

I am usually a very patient person (too patient at times) but there are limits and never would i act like an idiot because another player annoys me.

Pretty sure politeness went out the window with the anonymity of the internet. When people can be rude with no real consequences with a seemingly positive effect on their time... then they will be rude.

People are saying to run the roulettes with a full FC party but that's not a sure fire thing either. I've run an expert with a 4 person premade and had one person just drop the dungeon without a word on the final boss. In a premade you can't simply look for a new member and we tried but couldn't three man the boss, so we had to abandon. Needless to say, I have never run anything with that guy ever again.

[Critical-Limit]

Wish I could see a screenshot of the banter. Because I feel like I'm not getting the whole story. I've been attacked as a "toxic" person for pointin out a dPS in the group was ignoring mechanics and just relentlessly attacking the boss.

For pointing that out I get "toxic behavior like this blah blah, if you noticed what the NIN was doing the whole time that means you weren't doing enough." I have to defend this claim against me. I say "I didn't make any mechanical mistakes and I assure you my DPS is beyond satisfactory."

I'm the one getting called toxic. Am I suppose to just sit there and let the nin ignore mechanics everytime? And fail over and over?

Not saying you are wrong OP. I just don't want to condemn random Unknown BLM, without context.

[Seraphix2407]

I think respect has to go both ways. I find players who call me elitist or asshole player as most people would call it, because I simply can't put up with people whos not willing to listen when I'm simply putting my OWN TIME, into helping. Then I simply get replies saying I need to get a life, it's just a game, it's my subscription and I can do whatever I want. Well that's fine, but if you going to waste some one elses subscription, you better on your own or simply hang out with people with mindset, and we all know how well that goes.
