Why the hate with endgame fights?

[Oscura]

Considering no one can even spell my name right it seems, I'm not sure.

To be blunt, it wouldn't matter if I was perfectly polite. Whenever you say anything that counteracts the values of people, they will always take the negative stance against it. People are too wrapped up in raids as a form of identity that no real challenge to them will ever be tolerated; any real discussion of them just warps back to reaffirming the shared belief, i.e. raids are wonderful and players just need to git gud. And when you get piled on enough, you really start to get annoyed with people and the whole shared belief itself. You get tired of people always overemphasizing ice mages, or complaining about the skill of the playerbase despite things going really well, or teh many little myths that build up and get reinforced, and it creates this big divide between the myth and what you experience in game.

I don't recall ever spelling your name as anything but "Riyah."

Also yes, it does matter if you're polite. Do you think it's just a coincidence your posts get so much heat? It has nothing to do with, "oh no, they posted a dissenting opinion, let's dogpile on them!" There are plenty of posts that are anti-parser, plenty of posts that say "I don't like raiding," or "I don't want to raid," or "raiding encourages toxicity." A lot of them either go ignored, get one or two responses, and then the world moves on. Ultimately because at the end of the day, most of those posts are just more or less posts that express an opinion.

Your posts express less opinion, and more constant degradation and disrespect for the character or thoughts or even intelligence of those you disagree with. You've gone on the record to call people scrubs, to call raiders pig-headed, you've implied raiders are too dimwitted to react to the game's meta being changed, you've constantly asserted that savage is not an "achievement," and assume every raider demands your respect for completing it, showing your needless self-importance.

People will always debate with someone who disagrees with them, but the reason you're frequently targeted is because you're nasty. You make far too many assumptions and you generalize entire groups of people. More than anyone I've seen on this forum. The grand majority of your posts are just poorly informed but you repeat yourself as if it'll one day come true because of insistence.

Personally, I don't care if people "challenge," raiding. Raiding will never be removed from the game, so if someone says "I don't like raiding, it's too hard," or "I don't want to raid, I feel too pressured," I just shrug and ignore it. People on these forums are too damn self-important, and just assume everyone cares about specifically them. The grand majority of people do not care about you. People will move on regardless of whatever the hell you say.

Also, I know you really hate the "ice mage," thing, but it exists, just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I can recall the exact moment it happened to me, it was in copperbell hard. I will literally never forget that run. You know what though? Despite all the stuff they put us through, our premade never kicked them from the run. Even though we were literally given the reply as they were spamming Blizzard II, "I only use blizzard attacks because I roleplay an ice mage." Their search info even said so. I have no idea if it was them trolling, but it happened.

I've also never bothered complaining about the skill of the average player, I just objectively acknowledge it. I just do not care enough about people to even bother. I've had dps and tanks fill in for EX farms for wolves with my static that parse grey on FFlogs, and you know what we did, and what I did? Nothing. We continued to run with them, thanked them for their time when we finished, since we were clearing, and then moved on.

Edit: To add onto this, I've done plenty of learning parties helping inexperienced or new friends to EX primals. We've even let random players fill, and we taught them the fight and then usually got it on farm with that group. It is no exaggeration to say that I have plenty of patience for the average or casual player, and that I actually genuinely enjoy helping learning groups and/or starting them for inexperienced people. You would never know this though, since you just assumed I screech at the mere sight of someone with less skill than me, that I'm completely disconnected from them, and have no idea how their minds work.

That's the problem, you assume everyone who disagrees with you has some vendetta against different levels of skill. I literally do not care how well anyone plays outside of my static, and it's why I don't care about whether or not parsers are officially supported either. I don't care if I wake up one day and you yourself world first clear Sigmascape. I don't care who clears it if it's not my group. I have better things to do than be concerned about what other people are doing when it has no bearing on me at all.
