Why is the playerbase so mentally fragile now

What point are you trying to make? Not using your turn signals is not only against the law, but it also endangers yourself and all others who share the road with you.

If someone's putting my life in danger, I'm gonna tell them, and I don't give a single crud how they feel about it.

Oh but nice gotcha, I guess.

Sure, focus on everything other than the point being made.

I mean, you’re the one giving an example full of holes.
Do better

Unless your point was "whether you like it or not, you need to be told when you're doing something wrong", you didn't make one.

They could just be trying to avoid conflict. When I was a sprout I wouldn't have bothered sticking up for myself either. And generally when I make a big mistake, I'd almost rather outright leave the dungeon than even risk dealing with someone flipping out at me.

I only had three people that ever started to flip out on me over stupid BS. Yes, I was a new player at the time. No, I had never been in that instance before, in each case. And it wasn't extreme or savage or anything, was normal. I put them on ignore, and left them that way. If I want to deal with that kind of crap in normal content, I can go revisit WoW. I'm not putting up with it here.

EDIT: To be sure, I'll take *actual advice* said in a friendly manner. But if you're a dick about it, you'll be perma-ignored. I don't have time for that. I don't take that kind of crap at work, where they pay me, and I'm sure not going to do it here.

And some people wonder why I play mmo at all when im always playing solo. Well I love mmo games but I don´t feel like dealing with fragile people that are so full of hate and rage it´s a wonder they can even live a normal life. Yes I do the dungeons with random people but I never speak ever Im just quiet and do my job just the get it over with it. Some times I interact with people and the forums in hope that in some tiny part of this world there is some sane and normal people to talk with. But 90% of the time I don´t say anything becuse people lose their mind over anything. Like say pizza instead of kebab and some one will explode and tell you what an evil human you are goes on to tell you their life story on why pizza almost killed them and their entire family so pizza is evil.

And before you call me boomer. I´m a Millennial but we both are sick of todays over sanative hateful and ragefully generation it´s not our fault you never been loved don´t take it out on us take that out on your family and your shrink.

I'm some ways, I'm even worse. Gen X. We have no patience for the kind of shenanigans you're talking about. I will happily put someone on ignore permanently for being a dick, whatever the reason. I don't take that crap from people who are paying me, let alone in a game where I'm the one paying.

[SwordBreakerX]

Fully understandable and reason why I don´t join guilds/FC´s in games becuse some how some one need to take out their bagged on the guild and it´s hard to be in a guild if you need to ignore all of them. Im paying square enix money to play a game unwind and have fun not to deal with any ones fragile mind or drama or their political views. I Wish people to keep their crap to them self. I just want to be entertained and get some escape from reality I don´t need that in the games.

"Gen Zers could benefit from developing their communication" Nah man that´s what they are experts at screaming on the top of their lungs how oppressed they are how every one is a bigot when people don´t agree with them or when people tell them not to be bat shit crazy.

"They think they're better than you, smarter than you, more capable than you, and they will tell you to your face" And the problem is they are not smarter than you they are not better than you they even lack allot of experience in the job industry but they magickly think they are expert after 1 day the job.

"As a result of COVID-19 and remote education, it's possible that Gen Zers lack the foundation to be more successful than older generations in entry-level positions" Don´t blame Covid-19 for shitty parenting. Gen Z lack of respect and over sensitivity stems from bad parenting and pampering. I said this once and I say it again all this participation tropes and shit is bad becuse you teach kids that what ever they do how shitty they behave they will get rewarded. Taught luck kids life is not easy, life is not fear if you lost you lost all that means work harder and maybe you will win next time. But no they should be rewarded just by being there and all that it teaches them is show up and people will love you respect you and shower you with gifts.

I blame my generation and Gen Y for today society turning out shit becuse we have not taught them what they need instead we have pampered them and spoiled them to the point they think everything should be handed to the on a silver plate.

This Gen X'er agrees with you.
