Toxic and dysfunctional teamplay - the real reasons

shaielzafine · May 2019

This is sadly not surprising for this community especially for PvP, but for PvE as well. I remember doing a regular normal fungal grotto where a newer player started complaining and escalated it to saying "go kill yourself" to people in chat when we jumped off the ledge upstairs to swim to the last boss. There's getting angry and saying something to be heard, and then there's crossing a line where you're just saying things to be nasty behind a keyboard. Cyrodiil zone chat and PvP whispers are typically the worst though. People do this stuff to each other and grief, do abusive stuff in chat even if you're on the same faction.

Now it's more common that type of players a year ago not so much.

Is it in any way related to the recent influx of WoW players (as it is said)?

The few 'pls die from cancer' I experienced in the last years revealed themself as young russians on weed.

Oddly specific. Almost sounds made up.

They said they would leave the group for smoking weed and ended the conversation with 'make Putin great again' or by simply writing something in russian. Maybe they were fake russians.

reminds me why I left wow before the blood elf expansion. the maturation process has either not started or was skipped by some players.

To provide some background info:

We talk about 2 groups. Level 1000 carries level 30, who is on a scroll through Arx Corinium. Level 600 does the same for level 40. They get pugged together via GDF. Level 30 is faketank, level 1000 is an offheal, level 600 and 40 are DDs. Level 30 is a fake noob with 1000+ CP.

Right at the start level 30 and 1000 head for the quest NPC and the 'real' dungeon entrance, while 600 and 40 hit almost each and every ad. Reaching the first mini boss 600 and 40 already tried 3 times to votekick 1000. Here it starts ...

Well, I got this story in my guild chat and did not understand the matter, until it was explained to me that way:

If 600 and 40 were not so keen on pulling all ads, they would not have died so often. If they would not have wasted their time for votekicks and chat, they would not have died so often. The healer would have done a better job if the group would not have suffered so much damage and wasted time typing.

Did the first group wrong fakepugging? Yes, obviously. Are the 2 the only ones to be blamed for a dysfunctional raid? Obviously not. People are easy with handing out votekicks, blaming others for bad teamplay and feel way to entitled. Best proof is, that - IMO - wrongdoers tend to call players of a higher level 'noob' when they can't deal with their own mistakes in efficient group play.

Your opinion/contribution to this topic? Your experiences?

How gauche. None of the insults are even original or particularly inspired. All that’s missing are the “Yo Momma” jokes. It’s like a competition about whose e-peen is less impressive.

Why do people always complain about what other people say? Why are you offended? People rage typing is hilarious and if you don't like it block them. "Exchusze me but you need to be pulling exactly 38.9827483 dps..." blocked. "Omfg noob usuk..." blocked. Boom problem solved. There's no need to go on forums or reddit or zone chat to whine about toxicity or feelings or why we don't live in complete harmony.
