What is wrong with this community?

[DeadRiser]

While doing Garuda, we wiped when the off tank who was from another server kept tanking Chu and Sup on top of the healers and ranged dps. Explained to her that she has to tank them away from us and she put the blame on us. Didn't really trash talk, but said a lot of stuff that put her in the wrong.

Did Garuda once after that wipe with the strategy we told her and we won, go figure lol. She apologized after. Kill them with kindness. Sometimes that's all you can do, or just ignore them. OR EVEN BETTER. If you are the healer, don't heal them xD <<<< jk jk but I have told people to stop or I wouldn't heal them haha. Oh the perks of being the resident WHM

And this is why we didn't want the WoW kiddies coming over.

Almost makes me miss the days of Chains of Promathia on FFXI, when the game was so brutal it weeded out the trash players with ruthless efficiency. I say almost because for all my fond memories of XI, it is in retrospect a bad game when it comes to its core mechanics and I wouldn't dream of going back to it with how lovely XIV is.

But there needs to be some way of enforcing standards and rooting out all the jerkbags.

They need a vote kick system.

When something goes wrong a lot of players try to help by explaining different strats. Some players blow up on players trying to help.

Castrum runs I have had healers/tanks afk the ENTIRE instance for no reason.

Party wipes for one reason or another sometimes players are like "You guys suck" and afk the instance until someone leaves.

Sadly, this isn't 1.0 community. =/ I don't really want it to be either, but good portion of this community is rude and sour. They can't take advice. They also explode on other players when it is their fault for a wipe in an instance. It isn't just, "oh crap my bad im sorry lets go again." its "YOU NOOB YOU NO HEAL ME WHY I DIE I DONT NEED TO DODGE I TANK."

I think everyone needs to take a happy pill and get some cookies and chill the hell out.

While I do agree there are more then enough.. lesser elements to go around, I do believe the community is what you make of it.
A smile, a polite word and a good additude gets you a long way, even with these lesser elements.
And if everything fails, raise your shoulders and shrug it off, its their loss. Im good.

The community by and large is not like this. At some point and time their behavior catches up with them. Hopefully before there parents swipe for another month ><:

I haven't had a bad group yet, though as a healer I'm not immune to petty vengeance by not healing mean and/or jerk tanks in extreme cases. I'm a decent enough healer to get away with it once in a while, and don't like to start trouble unless someone dishes it first

I have realized that I have met so many uptight people during runs. So many people I have in my parties are rude and impatient; they leave once something goes wrong once or something gets pulled on accident. Especially the high-leveled players...

Hopefully the community will get better. Although I have met some really nice and positive people.

It wouldn't be so bad if all people did was leave when things turned sour. That would just be impatience. I could deal with impatience. It's the utter disregard for how terrible they treat other people that sets me off. It's the one that just can't keep their toxic text out of party-chat that are the problem.

If people would just keep quiet when things started going bad, I wouldn't have much to complain about. Didn't their parents teach them to say nothing if they can't say anything nice?

Comes from the man's mouth in game:

"Eorzea, a blighted realm riddled with false gods. Twice now it has eluded the empire's grasp, twisted beyond all reckoning. Rotten nigh to the core. Yet it must be saved."
