We had some problems with the first Boss and the DD who joined us started to call us names, he did deal like 20k dps while my friend did 80k and my other friend being the tank not dying once. We didnt wipe it just took us long time, so at the end once we killed the first boss he left. End of story was we did clear it in 3 people.
It is sad when even guild members get toxic towards other guildies only because they don't get carried as how they would wish to.
This is the reason I don't do vet content with strangers anymore, I won't let my friends and me carry people who deal 20k dps in vet dungeons. If they want to get carried they can pay for it or le0arn how to improve.
I can 100% relate to how you’re feeling, OP. And I’m sorry that you went through that experience. Of all the online games I’ve played over 20+ years, ESO has by far the most toxicity among the player base. I’ve never seen so much blatant racism and sexism in a game, and I can’t even count the number of times unwarranted harassment was directed towards me.
I have a story relatively similar to yours from a couple of years ago. I was running vet Banished Cells II via the dungeon finder on my healer. The dungeon began but I quickly noticed one thing- everyone in the group was holding staves and had low health, and when the adds were running around like crazy it became obvious we didn’t even have a tank (not even a “fake tank” with a taunt, just simply no tank at all). Not only that, but the DPS was incredibly low. As in it took over 5 minutes to just kill the first boss. But I figured hey, these are low CP players, this might be one of their first vet dungeons, I’ll stick around and help them out. We finally reach the final boss after nearly 45 minutes and the other players state that they want to do HM. Understandable, I thought, since it was the daily. So we pull and you can probably assume what happened without a tank and low DPS. The other players weren’t/couldn’t kill the orbs which healed the boss, so his health never went below 80%, and by the time we wiped it was because over 6 adds were running around stunning everyone. After we wipe I tell the other players that I will slot a taunt and change gear to manage the adds and that should help us clear. Immediately after saying that I am kicked from the group and the messages begin.
“lol trash”
“go kill yourself”
“dying in a vet dungeon? delete your game”
This was on Xbox at the time, so when I ignored them in game they continued for a solid 30 minutes sending me messages over Xbox Live.
I don’t know what it is about ESO, but there’s just such a level of toxicity, racism, and sexism in game that I have never experienced anywhere else.
Ive noticed that alot of the most toxic players on eso are pretty terrible at the game.

I do it to deter gear beggars who use addons to check what other people looted, if I feel like giving away gear (and I usually am) I'll post it, but I don't want my chatbox getting blown up mid-pull.
