Toxic Player Behavior

[DiceMan]

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!
