    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.

    Its the way parenting has changed. instead of punishment, parents just send their kids to their room where all their video games are. Or they just shake a finger and tell them not to do it again. when I was young. I got my fathers/mothers hand or belt on my ass. even if I said something slightly dirty.

    Kids get away with murder these days.

    I have a feeling a lot of them are jerks in real life too. Nice people don't just suddenly turn into jerks when playing online.

    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 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

    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$$.

    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.
