Few of those posts or the comments in them were toxic or elitist IMHO, it was a fair observation of an issue that seemed to be steadily spiralling out of control. There's also plenty of examples of people referencing the typically poor DPS that average people do in story trials such as Shinryu with regards to how these sorts of encounters are tuned. Hardly toxic.

I'm in agreement with Bourne on this frankly, some casual players can be incredibly defensive to the point of being aggressive towards anything even hinting at them being below par. It's just a sore subject that some people don't have the mental fortitude to handle and deal with unfortunately. It's not even an exclusive MMO thing. Call a few people out on their standard of driving and you'll often see exactly the same sort of snap reactions.
