Small rant about certain toxic WoW refugee behaviour

[QueenKairi]

Just wanted to share my concern and annoyance with you guys and if you've had similar experiences or not.

Theres this guy on light datacenter that keeps early pulling hunts. Then he just trashtalks everyone and saying bad thing about the FFXIV community.
And when I messaged him to ask why he does this he just says that WoW is better and hes only here to raid when endwalker comes anyway so he doesn't care people blacklist him.

I know early pulls have always been a thing now and then. But this guy is taking it to another level of toxic.
Also I'm aware it's not a bannable offense.

Did you report them?

I'm pretty sure trashtalking can be TOS breaking depending on what's being said.

If you report him I doubt he will be raiding during Endwalker. Also no raid group will put up with him anyways.

... keeps early pulling hunts.

Nothing can be done about this. Open world hunts are just that, open world. They are first come, first serve kills in a way. It's the general community that made the rule to wait for everyone else to get there.

Then he just trashtalks everyone and saying bad thing about the FFXIV community.

Report them for this. Pretty sure this is considered harassment.

And when I messaged him to ask why he does this he just says that WoW is better and hes only here to raid when endwalker comes anyway so he doesn't care people blacklist him.

Never start a dialog with toxic people. Just report them and move on. Sending them messages like this just makes things worse.

No need to bring WoW into it at all. You're having problems with another human, full stop. Whether or not they played WoW in the past is as significant as their favorite flavor of ice cream or their race.

Change your title and see the effect. It's the same problem media has these days, and it's bad. What do I mean?

"MAN CALLS POLICE ON OTHER MAN LOITERING IN THE PARK" - Not sensational. Who gives a crap if a man called the cops on another man? No one. But...
"WHITE MAN CALLS POLICE ON BLACK MAN LOITERING IN THE PARK" - Now it's sensational. Now the title insinuates racism. Nevermind that white and black interact all day every day, and sometimes that interaction will be to call the police. This is an attempt to sensationalize, fearmonger, and sell papers / website subs.

Okay now.

"Small rant about certain player behaviour" - Not sensational. Players interact all day, every day and sometimes the interaction will be negative. Normal. Standard.
"Small rant about certain toxic WoW refugee behaviour". - Sensationalism. See previous.

No one cares what game they played before, smart people see the attempt to paint WoW in a bad light via the 'sensational headline'. And if you look at media headlines and actually let the irrelevant, sensational parts affect your opinion of other humans... that ain't good.

Human interacts with human. Not 'WoW-playing XYZ human interacts with FFXIV-playing ABCDEFG human.' None of that other stuff matters.

Early pulling isn't a bannable offense but the trashtalking could be so report them if they're being offensive in shout or yell and don't worry about them otherwise.

"This game sux. I align with its primary commercial rival. I'm going to be disruptive because I don't care"

Sounds like low grade bait/attention seeking.
Just report and move on.

Early pulls aren't bannable.
Why he's doing it as he says, is.

Screenshot it.
Report it.
Done.

WoW is better, but he's farming hunts in 14?
I'd rather play WoW than to do hunts xD
