Toxic Player Behavior

[DracotheDragon]

i will agree there is some "toxic players" that could ruin the time for evryone i was in CM for a quick speedrun to kill some time and i saw a healer go down evryone moved on and he asked in chat "oh .. i guess i should just walk" he was about to quit until i told our other healer to cover the group and that i will ressurect the down'd healer some players will ignore someoen who is downed or someone who is new just for those facts :\ additionally when i watched the cutscenes i was glad i had 2 people from my FC with me becuse they all left me when i watched the cutscenes and my buds from my FC told me where to go to catch up

I can't WAIT to get to 50 and start running these dungeons. I do a static with a healer with me as tank. Those poor excuses for humans can go get bent for all I care. I'll get another DD to replace them and continue my dungeon while they sit in queue for another hour or so. I'll go afk on purpose! I'll watch the CS every time. Just to weed out stupid people like the OP mentioned. If you're going to act like that I don't want to help you get through any content anyway!

AW to hell with it! I'll even post some of the chat screen SS so we can all have a good laugh. Names will be blocked but it'll still be worth a laugh.

I've only done about 10 duties as this point, and one from yesterday is the only one with a jerk, so it's been okay so far, but even 10% seems too high for me. He ran off one of our players, and I eventually left after apologizing to the healer and replacement, at which point I was the one being flamed.

As much as a voting/kick system seems like it would be good, it would unfortunately be rife with abuse. Since League of Legends has been brought up, I think a Duty Finder Tribunal would be an interesting approach. It could punish by denying the use of Duty Finder for a certain period, meaning they'd have to form their own parties.

Most people now a days like to think gamers are modernized. What I mean is that the average gamer still plays 6 hours a day or more. Lets put it this way if you spend that much time on something every single day your going to get pissed all the time over things. I think this idea that most gamers now have full time jobs kids etc do other things blah blah okay. Um how do you survive if your don't have a job for one? Having kids you can be a stay at home parent and play all the time once your kids are 3 or so they can play by them selves and you can play games all day etc. People need to go back to the wow nerd in his moms basement rage quitting all the time example, and realize people are still nerd raging 24/7 and freaking out over a game.

Its part of the experience.

Edit the idea that having a job and kids makes you a more mature gamer is well I liked to see the statistics on that. I've played many COD matches and have had the guy swearing up a storm at his teammates while hearing kids in the back ground.

Don't get me started on Halo 2 the first real FPS with standard voice communication.

That doesn't mean it should be accepted. It's a problem, and even though it might not ever be truly solved, we should always continue to attempt it. Honestly, I think that if people are going to act like children, they should be treated as such: take away their game. I've seen people on the LoL forums genuinely seeking advice on how to improve their behavior, and that's great—I applaud them for it—but that never would have happened without the Tribunal, which bans accounts for repeated offenses. Most of us know how, and are willing to participate in a community in a civilized manner, but justice systems exist for a reason, and without something resembling that in multiplayer games, toxicity will thrive.

I haven't ran into any toxic players yet, but I've only ran DF twice now. Both I joined mid-party where the first time the healer bailed mid dungeon and I replaced them when I joined. The second was as healer again for Toto-Rak where it was only two Arcanists because the Tank lagged out and I guess the healer bailed before or after. It wasn't the easiest of battles but the two Arcanists used their Carbuncles to tank the mobs and I assist healed their Carbuncles. Only one wipe at the start of one mini-boss because I couldn't figure out how to target their pets.

In the end we beat the dungeon and had a lot of fun doing it with just three people and no tank. Afraid I can't remember your names you two but if you are reading this and remember doing Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak with a Miqo'te healer named M'hana Zhralyia thanks again for the party! I was one where one of you asked at the end why I was doing the quest with an Ifrit weapon. We also beat it with about 2-3 minutes that night before the emergency maintenance was to begin. Was fun and a bit challenging!

Where did these people come from? In I have NEVER, EVER been treated with as much hatred and disdain as I have been when ARR launched. 1.0 was not this bad I don't think, unless I was just lucky in avoiding it. Sure, 1.0 prolly had a troll or two, but the words used in ARR, wow...

Are these trolls and toxic members new to ARR? Did they only come here because ARR happens to be the flavor of the month MMO? It's so weird that I never was treated the way I am in ARR while I was playing 1.0. Seems to me these people come from other games and spew their BS here.

have to agree with the OP. So far what I have seen from people in this game makes WoW's community look like it is full of angels.

I don't know. Wow players are just as bad too. In the pick up raids you get a lot of people afking just because they don't feel like they should have to actually do any work or earn the rewards they get. Also they are just as unforgivi g if you are new or are learning a fight..etc... In fact my first impression when I started playing ffxiv was that a lot of the jerks I encountered in wow must have started playing this game as well. Its kind of sad as it makes it a lot less fun when nobody cares about anyone but them self and act like an a$$.

I remember in an interview that they didn't add a kick feature for this reason, drum roll please: because it would exclude new players and they would be kicked because group didnt want to help them. When the exact opposite is happening 2 people willing to help 1 harassing trolling the new person (4 person groups). Please SE add a voting kick function to DF with a 3 point or some selection on why with varying punishment rewards for case. Harassment 1 hr, afk 30 min and the such
