    As a bit more clarification, there is just as much toxicity (in my experience) on the other side. I'm all for balance, but I'd much prefer we tried to err on the side of courtesy. When another player tries to give polite and helpful advice, 'you don't pay my sub' is not an acceptable response.

    I'm not sure why asking people to be respectful of each other causes such a backlash. It's very sad
    It’s a simple “more plz” from me with a few jumps in the direction of continuing forward. I generally don’t have a keyboard in front of me. Not everything needs a demanding tone or a trolly way of forcing them.
    If they don’t, I’ll begrudgingly get up, grab my keyboard and explain it’s not worth me holying 2 or 3 mobs and I’ll keep them alive if they pull bigger.
    As for your toxicity comment, yes I experience that constantly. Can’t try to give anyone a hand. As soon as you suggest they aren’t doing something correctly, people get all out of sorts. Get called toxic all the time or accused of harassing them. Over trivial things. Had a tank try and kick me in the latest nier raid for asking them to turn Hansels exposed side towards middle so I could assize. Asking to allow me to heal without taking damage was enough to set this guy off. But I brushed him off and he left, taking the penalty.
    I’m of the mindset that at the end of the day, none of these people matter. So it’s a bad run. There will be many good or uneventful ones that over shadow that rare bad experience
