Unbelievable Rudeness!

[rachcouture]

Terrible people play online games; it's a sad truth we all have to deal with. Please tell your daughter not to give up! Were it me, I'd try to play with her as often as possible in the event something like this happens again. The right person stepping in makes all the difference. It does when I do it for my friends, anyway.

In the future, if something is spoken that's against the ToS, I highly recommend sending a report through the support desk; FFXIV's GMs tend to do a pretty good job dealing with in-game harassment.

For a second I thought I was on r/shxxpostxiv.

Look, it's unfortunate that she got bullied but if she caused a wipe, she'll need to learn to expect people to say something. You can't sit and cry that everyone else is mean when you need to be teaching her if she wants to play online with strangers from all walks of life, then she needs to toughen up a little. You should stop expecting people to be like you - it goes both ways.

Or people can just not be D**ks?

Love how people in here are saying "well you should teach her to grow thick skin"

Are you all missing the fact he said she was a shy 13 year old girl? and you're also assuming he hasn't already told her about the bullies. Just telling her isn't automatically gonna make her immune to getting their feeling hurt.

Pretty sure most of you don't have a right to tell him what to teach his child if she's already a good kid assuming.
I kinda hate when people do that, if you never raised a child yourself. (Including myself)

All they're doing as her parent is coming here to remind people not everybody playing is an adult and should be respectful to your fellow player.

People are gonna behave however they behave. Coming in here and wagging your finger at them isn't going to change the behavior of anyone.
Truth of the matter is, welcome to the online world. People aren't always glittery and made of sunshine and sparkle dust. Am I the type to lose my patience in raids/trials? Not at all. I'm incredibly chill when it comes to things like blunders. That doesn't mean someone else is - and it's not their problem that the person behind the screen is a literal child. Either you go into MMORPGs understanding that not everyone is going to hold your hand or you don't put yourself in social situations.

Stating the obvious.

Doesn't really change the fact people need stop being A**Holes and you telling a 13 year old kid to "grow a thick skin" just makes you come off as someone with a lack of empathy.
Not to offend you of course, I don't know you, but just calling it how I see it or....read it.

If you were in his shoes and someone mouthed off to your kid who you know is very shy and timid, I'm sure in hell you would come on these fourms and vent to. I know I would.

Except I wouldn't. I don't come to the forums to throw tantrums about things that are
1. In my control or
2. Out of my control.

I'm only on the forums really because it's an endless source of amusement from things like this and many other topics that get created on a daily basis.

Plus let me remind you, that you're only hearing one side of the story at any given time. "Why would people lie?" To rally a response for whatever reason. Did the person really get any specifically at the girl? Or were they just mounting a general disbelief they wiped on whatever? Did it ever really happen? Who knows. Was it really just one wipe and not two or three because of the same exact thing? We weren't there.

I've got to agree with you there.
It's a shame what happened.

so i should ask everyone if they're a minor before I say something rude, what can go wrong.

I mean right?! Can't even be an asshole without first asking the ~9ft tall male roe in a leopard tanga if he's a minor? /s
