What is wrong with this community?

[Raxion]

So I'm farming CM with a friend to help him finish getting his Darklight. I get into a group with a pull-happy tank that pulls the second boss and locks a couple people out. We wiped, then he starts trying to trash talk me (the other tank). Then AFKs when I talk back to him.

This is just one minor example of what running with random players has been like in this game. The online community has become nothing more than a cesspool of trash floating downhill to a sewage plant.

If this is the community I can expect to have to deal with, I'm not sure I'll stay. I just can't take being verbally assaulted in every other run for absolutely nothing.

I'm sorry a lot of people have to deal with people like this.
I know it's not a comfort but, they will be gone soon. Hopefully we'll get back what we're all missing, a real FF community.

Is this a trend? You meet a few bad eggs, and you think the whole community is like that.

This is just one example. It seems to be getting worse on a daily basis. Out of the 7-8 runs I do a day, at least 4 of them are just outright toxic. The people I have run with have almost killed the game for me.

Everyone seems to be so uptight on this game, like i understand it gets frustrating sometimes when your having trouble getting through a dungeon etc but why rage and talk trash, if you know what to do give suggestions on how to accomplish these things

To be honest, yeah, a lot of the people doing end game stuff (darklights, relics, primals, etc.) are like that at the moment. I'm not sure where they came from or why they what they do. The only things I can say is I hope it gets better for you and that me, personally, I'm putting off on doing end game stuff until things settle down a bit and most of these people have their end game stuff done. Also, when I can do it with my ls mates.

This is why I stick to Japanese servers. At least the players are polite and if they don't have anything good to say, they just don't say anything at all. If you want, Masamune is the unofficial Oceanic server for legacy (Tonberry for new) and has plenty of English speakers. And you can get by pretty well with auto-translate with the Japanese players.

OP, that's exactly same type of group I joined and they gave me, wife a hard time, to a point where we just said being harrassed this much isn't even worth playing and we stopped playing battle class. I am waiting for my LS/FC group to catch up and going to go with them. I understand they want speed runs but how rude can these jerks get? I have never seen this type of people in other MMO's, sure there were jerks in other MMO's but for me personally, this is the worst experience so far.

Just report them for harrassment and hopefully after enough warning they will get perm ban for good.

I think majority of the rude players are directly from WoW, and are from the group of gamers that expect instant gratification with no effort. These players are irritating for me also, I usually leave group if they bother me too much (trash talking is unacceptable for me imo).

I think WoW has ruined a lot of the MMO community by being so casual friendly and by making gear so easy to get. Players don't realise that games are suppose to be hard and they don't realise that everyone in the party is important to the group.

If by hard, you mean grindy, I disagree. I grind away 10 hours a day at my real job. I want to enjoy and accomplish in a game, otherwise they should pay me.

I can usually tell when I am in a WoW player group and I usually just zone out and do the basics to get through it and be rid of them.
