No. You do not get to play the victim card.

I specifically called out your lack of experience because you insisted raiders are basically idiots who cannot grasp the casual mindset. Sebazy and I purposely described how difficulty scaling might work and you promptly ignored us. Nearly every single post you make in regards to raids takes an absolute stance. You even go out of your way to cite Alte Roite as a gimmicky fight, which anyone who has actually done would it laugh at such a description.

That alone demonstrates you have no business speaking about a subject you clearly aren't well-versed in. If you came into these threads and simply added, "I don't like how the raids are structured" or outright claimed you're just not interested in Savage. No one would have said anything nor would we be having these arguments. You do the precise opposite—antagonizing everyone who dares to have positive opinions towards raiding. The fact you claimed clearing Savage or Ultimate isn't an achievement screams arrogance. You talk down to raiders, call them toxic, elitists and every other name yet get defensive when they don't take kindly to the hypocrisy.

You get tired of people always overemphasizing ice mages, or complaining about the skill of the playerbase despite things going really well
This, this quote right here is what irks people. You don't do hard content. How the hell do you have basis for this opinion? Have you been farming Shinryu? I have. People are awful. Just last week I did Nidhogg, unsynced and had two DPS who compared couldn't break 2k. Unlike you, I have farmed every single Primal except Susano and Lakshmi. I have pugged Savage and used to raid Hard modes for fun. The amount of bad players you witness doing this is staggering.

The most popular thread on these forums are people showcasing just how abysmal many average players are. You can claim endlessly how overemphasised these assertions are but neither stand as any higher justification than the other. They are both anecdotes.

If you were "perfectly polite" people wouldn't be fed up with you. Alas, you take an absolute stance on nearly everything, react hostile to raiders, or frankly, anyone with a dissenting opinion and scurry away whenever you get caught in an argument you can't cherry pick. Has it ever occurred to you all these negative responses are your own doing? No, of course not. You're just a victim of the toxic raiders; all of them with different backgrounds, experience levels and opinions just coincidentally got together one day to pick on poor lil you. Get over yourself.
