What is with people?

[OurMom]

People like to talk about how parsers and "elitist" bring toxicity but what OP is doing is extremely toxic.

He's reporting people and possibly getting them temp bans because he's the one bad at the game and since we can't show numbers to prove the person is bad. You can possibly get temp banned for using vote kick "wrong" or banned for saying "You're bad, stop it".

These type of "safety" nets create nothing but extra problems.

I mean, if those people didn't want to get reported and possibly banned, may I suggest silently kicking the party member in question without adding what's obviously blatant harassment on top of it all? I complain and swear at bad party members until I go blue in the face, but that's to my fc mates over on discord, never in-game, never to that person's face. And that makes a world of difference.

Now here's the kick. If that guy was really that bad, and intentionally so? That's griefing and is a reportable offense in and of itself. But why try and take care of the root of the problem by reporting it when you can be a jerk about it directly, right?

If not swearing at people whose gameplay you disapprove of is a 'problem' for you, you have a whole other set of problems to deal with first before worrying about this game...

That's why I mentioned possibly getting a temp ban because you used vote kick "wrong" which is a bannable offense, you're not suppose to vote kick someone cause they're bad and there's no option for that in the vote kick menu.

Because that's really hard to prove if someone is a troll or if someone is just bad which will ultimately lead to SE not doing anything.

Do you mind if I take a look at your shoulder? I think you might have dislocated it with that reach there buddy.

"Safety nets" = Getting banned for vote kicking a bad. Not being able to use/talk about parsers. Not being able to tell someone "Hey you're doing all of this wrong".

Gameplay differences. Seems to fly.

So you swear at him, which does do something, and that's that you get reported...? Kick them and move on.

How many people do you know that had that happen to them?

Not being able to tell someone "Hey you're doing all of this wrong".

You're more than allowed to do that. You just should keep your Tourette Syndrome in check when you do.

Again, there's no option when you vote kick that's for "bads" or "gameplay difference" so if the person that got kicked REALLY wanted to push it. The people that vote kicked them could get in trouble since they technically used it "wrong".

So you swear at him, which does do something, and that's that you get reported...? Kick them and move on.

Is there a reason you're stuck on swearing? I personally don't think swearing should be a bannable offense but that's not even close to what I'm talking about in any of my previous posts.

Four including my self

You're more than allowed to do that.

Nope because that's being "toxic" again, why are you stuck on swearing? This entire issue is more than swearing it's about people like OP that are legitimate bads, trying to get innocent people banned because they refuse to learn how to play their class. Also I may have missed something, I didn't read this entire thread but in the screenshot did the person swear at them? Saying "you play like crap" isn't truly swearing at them. Swearing at them is saying "you are crap".

I believe the word 'shit' was used.

Yeah but that's not swearing at them that's more like comparing them to it (not trying to get banned on the forums again). Swearing at them is calling them the actual word.

Blist sadly won't stop people from getting queued with that person. It's a glorified chat filter.

True, but it's good to remember their name. No way I'm condoning the message they received after they were kicked, but at the same time, being called out on your bs twice on the forums within a year establishes a pattern of wanting to play the victim. Even if it weren't true about what really happened in the duty, OP's credibility is shoddy right now. Maybe they do need to take a step back and try to play properly before trying to play the victim a third time.

Uh, someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you locked from kicking someone until the instance time has elapsed for at least 15 minutes? There's not a single Alphascape that should last that long in one pull, so are you sure you were kicked after only one pull?

15 minutes is for vote abandon. Kicking individuals is limited by 5 minutes into the instance.

How do I enlarge the image from a phone? I can't see more than blurry text in the chatbox...

That aside, I get the general gist of it being terrible. If they're going to attack you over a video game it shows that they're not worth playing with in the first place.

Try not to let it get to you. If you want a buddy to run content with and we're on the same data center (can't see your server cuz well...phone) I'd be more than happy to tag along.

It says: << Hey OP do me a favor, go to your settings under character config>control settings and uncheck the box that says play like shit>>

Person involved:

Got wind of this thread from a friend of a friend of a friend... lmto omg
So let me get this straight. You said nothing about being new nor asked any questions, stole aggro from our main tank, did not hold the boss in one spot but rather moved him from one side to the other to the other to the other making us all rethink mechs on the fly which in turn was why we wiped because the aoes were just crazy, used requiescat but not holy spirit, didn't reply to any of our party chat texts asking what you were doing, annnnnnd we're the bad guys for vote dismissing you? Nah. I didn't expect my good friend to post the diddy in party chat, but there IS a check box to filter out profanities.
We thought you joined us via DF because you purposefully wanted to ruin someone's night by tanking like a vodka soaked bumble bee. Welcome to the purpose and implementation of vote dismissal.
Be humble. Sit down.
