New Player Harassment [rant]

[DamianFatale]

I was in Ifrit normal today, because of a roulette, and what I witnessed made me really disappointed. The player (won't reveal names) in question called an archer a noob, and proceeded to insult them for attacking Ifrit instead of the nail.

I politely, and reasonably stated that it was wrong to insult her, and that it wasn't going to make the trial any better. He just wouldn't stop, and I had no choice but to report.

What I don't understand is how people think this is constructive, even in high level content. Insults just fan the flames, causing the run to be more stressful. You should strive to be reasonable, and calm, even in undesired situations. I know that it's harder depending on the person, but come on. At least be quiet if all you're going to do is spout your mouth off and make it worse.

Being mean to new players can also drive them away from the game, due to it being a fresh experience. If you value your playtime, you should be kind to them, so that we continue to have new people around. They are vital for the games longevity.

TLDR; Being reasonable, and kind makes the game a lot better for everyone.
