Toxic Player Behavior

[Artamie]

It would be interesting to do a social experiment and disable DF for a month. I wonder if reports of bad behavior would go down.

I've already lost 2 friends from playing this game due to the endgame community. Both worked their hardest to hit 50, got there and realized that the people just SUCKED. And tbh... I'm inching my way out the door, too.

The game itself is amazing. Beautiful graphics, awesome story, great soundtrack... there is really very little to complain about mechanically. But the endgame requires a great deal of playing with other people, and there if they do their best to make the experience miserable? Then it will be miserable.

To say this is a DF problem is a joke. I joined a pug for titan to get my 3rd relic since FC members weren't available, and because I had to keep an eye on my son while playing, I had some trouble avoiding titan AoE where I usually don't. I explained this to party members after 2 wipes and apologized, one member proceeds to tell me to "stfu" and they'll kick me if I mess up again. Didn't bother me really, but my point is, its not a DF problem, and its not possible to always do stuff with an FC, which makes it inevitable that you will run across these players.

this is what im afraid of. i love this game and im really getting into it but im still a reasonably low level. im playing through the game a slow leisurely pace alongside my fiancee and im really afraid that my game playing experience will be ruined by this attitude. im hoping not - but even the idea of this attitude is enough to put players off.

i would stop for 3-4 month until most of the "garbage" people stop playing, at least thats what I am doing, stoping FFXIV now until my friends from FFXI gather via transfer on one server/start on FFXIV on one server. Its jsut not bearable if you have no decent people with attitude to play with, hence why playing now FFXI after 3 weeks of break.

An honor system like league of legends would be a good idea I think. It discourages trolls, griefing, and toxicity. At the very least it's an incentive to be excellent to each other.

Whole OP is kind of pointless since only a very small part of the community will even read this and odds are it's people that don't blow a gasket every time they play.

Personally I don't mind the DF 'community', I use it exclusively and have done 100s of runs now. I would say out of that only maybe 10 were quite unpleasant and or terrible experiences. That's not so bad when I think about it.

The worst run I have ever done so far was actually with people on my own server...

Toxic players can only exist when the ability to PK them doesn't. If in a dungeon someone gets upset, you kill their character till they leave - problem solved.

It does suck to meet up with people like that and it unfortunately happens in every MMO =(

Luckily every group the 'dungeon finder' has put me in so far has been great. No one has gotten mad over me watching the cut scenes and they've all been nice. I hope you get into some nice groups and are able to avoid the bad people.

Good luck to you!

I had my head bitten off me for going afk in Copperbell Hard the other day because I had to take a phone call. I'm sorry if someone knocks on the door or rings I'm going to answer I can't predict when the people in my life wanna do this unless I've arranged something prior in which case I won't be in a dungeon At most I'm gone for 5 minutes CHILL OUT
