ESO's community is from the most part composed of mature players, usually older players too which I like. Been a huge jump for me from other online games where it was full of young immature kids, (literally "kids" around the age of 11) that would hold nothing back from insulting others. But I haven't experienced such a thing in ESO, thank god for that.
But just recently I've had this guy in a gold pledge whose acting just stunned me since I got used to the better community. We entered the group dungeon in Fungal Grotto and engaged in a combat with the first group and killed them with ease. Me as an achievement hunter player that cares about completion knew that the "finish dungeon under 20 minutes" achievement's timer was already running. It started when one of our group's member said: "2 secs". So I suspected he'll need just a couple seconds before we continue the dungeon, it took him a good 2-3 mins before he got back. Now I understand that, sometimes there are more important things you need to do and even though I didn't know what he needed to do, after 2 minutes I got a bit nervous about the timer. So the conversation went like this:
Me: "The timer's running >.<."
Guy1: "okok im back" (some time after I mentioned the timer)
Guy2: "what timer? pizza timer?"
Me: "Achievement timer"
Guy2: "nobody cares" (wow, this brought me to my knees, didn't expect such rudeness)
Me: "Well, I do."
Guy2: "thats to bad"
Now if this was any other MMO I wouldn't care, I would just roll with him being like this. I was simply stunned that there actually are people so arrogant to say it so calmly and straight up like it was just another day. I mean I also get like this from time to time but I try to keep it polite, whatever it is I need to say, I point it out and I don't talk to people like this.
The dungeon went on as we encountered third group of NPCs that my group simply kept dying to. The dungeon was scaled to V3 as we all were around V1-V3. I was the healer there, doing my best to keep them alive and it was the best they could get. But 2 of them were simply blindly running around, getting all the mobs and barely doing any damage. I've been doing the healer several times in vet dungeons and nobody ever died because of me, either these guys' gear was far too bad as their hp went from 100% to 25% within two seconds or they just did something wrong, I dunno. That's when one the mentioned "Guy2" told me to "stop sleeping" and "dude start healing", as if I was the one responsible.
Moments later I got kicked out of the group and just left to search for another players. Got to a group of players that yet had to do Silver pledge which I've already done but still offered myself to run it with them as we went for a Gold pledge afterwards. We've gone through both dungeons smoothly without any issue.
Well that was a bit of my story that I'd have forgotten if it wasn't for this thread that reminded me of it so I felt like sharing it, lol.
But to answer your question, OP, to me it is when players act way too positively, as when it almost seems faked, only to make them look as best as they can to other people, almost like hiding something. Talking about their happy, perfect lives, being happy with everything, celebrating and stuff, meh I don't enjoy myself seeing these conversations but I don't interfere 'cuz this is simply my way of seeing things and I understand that they would think of me as the toxic, "evil" guy.

Point being this isn't a JRPG if it was we be seeing bigger eyes crazier hair and hair colors and of course all the female characters have goddess like super powers while wearing......

I hate that on PC everyone expects me to get on teamspeak. I have limited internet connectivity and teamspeak eats into it that bit faster, also I like to listen to music, and I absolutely hate rambling small talk which is all anyone seems to do on Teamspeak, even most "organized" groups just ramble on about useless crap. Not interested.

I find that occasionally after a group forms some won't even know what dungeon we are doing and then we end up doing a dungeon I did not queue for. I believe this has something to do with the ability to queue for any and all dungeons via the "All" option in the LFG Tool and that it should be removed or limited to a few selections, but not all.
It's terrible to wait for hours, albeit I'm running around questing etc, but when the group forms and you realise the people in your group don't actually want to do the dungeon you specifically queued for....wut? lol.
This more than anything makes me dislike the way the Grouping Tool works, I don't even mind the long wait times as long as we're all agreed on the same dungeon once formed.

Do you play on console btw? Just curious as NO-ONE uses the LFG tool on PC hehe...

Yeah, I've ended up doing this a few times in the past weeks.

But that disappoints me about basically all MMO players these days. The game's are basically still the same, but how players player them have changed a lot. That being said, thankfully ESOTU has seemingly a relatively high proportion that still actually practice the 'journey not the destination' mantra. Which is nice to experience.
