    Getting kicked from stuff? That honestly sounds like a /gitgud complex, sorry to say. If the reason you're getting kicked is lack of knowledge or survivability then yeah I understand that because nobody wants to sit back and wipe 40 times in easy content I'm assuming that OP was partaking in.
    Best info I can give is watch videos, find the right groups. People are impatient and they want to finish the content they go into.

    This is just a piece of my opinion, take it as you see it. Try not to be offended. Good day ladies/Gents

    I find crafters to be toxic as well. One time I asked someone to craft me a gold set and xe demanded I give xym materials. I simply told xym I don’t do resource gathering and I don’t find it enjoyable; but nevertheless I expect a gold set of gear. I shouldn’t have to work for it. It’s not xyr fault really it’s just poor design from ZoS.

    You do realize legendary gear does cost quite a bit to make, from nearly 40k to 100k, and now nearly up to 250k for jewelery

    Few ppl in a trade guild of mine ran a dungeon. The talked trash on the "noob" tank for 15 minutes in guild chat after they kicked him from the group. The whined they couldn't find a tank.

    When it comes to new players, maybe take a second to realize they are new and your interaction with them could determine how they view Pve, or pvp for that matter.

    In other words, get off your high horse this is a dam game. If you can't complete a dungeon for the thousandth time because of a new guy, what did you lose?

    Help the new guys and gals who want to learn. Don't be a ***.

    The lag was because you was in Cyrodiil when you was posting on the forum you need to go into a pve zone when posting no lag (sorry couldn’t resist that)

    I applaud you for what you did but next week isn’t going to fun on events either as their will be people queuing as tanks, healers and well dds that won’t be doing any of those roles so I would post sick of events that make you interact with others it’s just not on


    If a Healer isnt a healer, A Tank not a Tank, or a DPS isnt a DPS then they are in Breach of the TOS and i report them, every fake Role is pretending, what is forbidden, they get, hopefully, a little Ban. In a premade Group with Friends or Guildmates i dont have any Problem with a Fake Tank or Healer if it is spoken about beforehand, in a Random Group i vote to kick and report the Person. Simple

    I actually encountered some heavy toxicity this weekend in a few groups we put together. The way I see it is if your going to start with that BS we'll just kick you. Plain and simple. I don't care if your the most OP tank or a heavy hitting DPS build...gtfoh with the attitude people. There's no room in my gaming world for those types of players.

    You know I don't meet that many douchenozzles in game anymore, I know the console versions are a dumpster fire.

    @Dragneel1207 is right though.....normals are the issue.

    they are needed for the larger casual community but do nothing for those wanting to advance to trials, and the trial community is minute, even compared to the very small PVP community.

    Zenimax is making bank on their largest demographic....they don't seem willing to develop for the smaller ones and that's a mistake I think.

    Telling a group it's your first time before the dungeon starts helps, as people wont expect anything from you.

    Maybe the only thing in this post of yours I agree with. You absolutely should be upfront on whether you've done content or not, as that way people will know whether you need mechanics explained or something.

    If you tell them you're new and you get kicked that means only one thing: They were not good enough to carry you. It has NOTHING to do with toxicity. Just why should 3 people waste their time if they know they cannot 3man the dungeon with one hanging behind?

    Uh...what? Lol being new doesn't automatically mean you need a carry, not sure where you're getting that idea from. Not having done a dungeon doesn't mean you need a carry. It means you just need to learn the mechanics or have someone explain them for you. People who have 1k+ CP can fare horribly and have no idea what they're doing, but they aren't 'new' if they've been playing enough to rack up that sort of CP.

    If you get kicked instantly because of low CP, sup 160cp will get kicked from any group that is looking for gear as you wont drop gear they will need. Selfish yeh, not toxic.

    If you're looking for CP160 gear maybe you ought to be going in with a premade group of fellow 160+ people instead of indiscriminately kicking people who might just be trying to do a pledge or learn the dungeon, or if you get 2/3 below CP160 teammates, just do what everyone else gets told to do; leave the group, switch chars, and eat the 15 min penalty timer by trying with that character you swapped to.

    If you get kicked because of low dps - Learn dps
    If you get kicked because of low bad support - Learn tanking / healing

    How are people supposed to learn if they're constantly getting kicked? XD Seriously you sit there and say people need to have experience but then you say it's okay for inexperienced people to get kicked simply because they have no experience...you can't make both arguments man, you just end up contradicting yourself.

    Ask questions if there is something you don't understand.
    Accept the answers you get.
    Tell people whats happening and don't expect them to be mind-readers, if you're away from the group over an amount of time and no communication is done, you will be kicked.
    Don't go afk at start, middle or before the end boss as that will get you kicked. stop wasting peoples time.

    Okay there's a bit more to this post I do agree with. People should 100% ask questions if they don't understand something, but by no means should people also 100% of the time 'accept the answers they get' because there are plenty of times when what someone is told is wrong or not relevant. This is how misinformation spreads. Now the main part of this I don't agree with, to an extent, is the 'don't go afk' thing. You have to keep in mind that EVERYONE playing this game is living in a dynamic environment because we're all actual living people. Things can and will come up without warning that pull us away from the computer without the time to give a warning. If someone abruptly goes afk without saying something, they should at least be given a courtesy of maybe five or so minutes before a kick is called for. But no one should be kicked in like, one or two minutes if they briefly poof, even without saying anything. You never know what sort of conditions a person might be living under, and it doesn't cost anything but a few minutes to have a bit of patience for when life decides to be a butt.

    Don't queue with fake roles. You're wasting peoples time.

    This is something else I do agree with. If you're going to queue as a tank but you aren't an actual tank, at least slot a taunt and not be so squishy that you die in two hits. If you're going to queue as heals at least have a Resto Staff with Healing Springs and maybe Combat Prayer. People DO need to keep in mind, however, that just because someone is leveling a tank or healer who might not have access to their full kit does NOT make them a fake tank/healer. I was leveling my NB Nord Tank a few months ago, had taunts and other skills one expects on a tank. My HP, though, was only like uh, 17k. Got called a 'fake tank' just because of my low health, even though I was holding boss and several adds, was able to heal myself, was buffing the group, and was only dying because one of the other DD kept running way far off and was outside the healer's range. This was causing the rest of us to wipe because when that DD went down, someone either had to run clear out to rez them, or there wasn't enough combined DPS to burn the boss if we tried leaving them down.

    Long story short, don't assume. Unless you actively see your tank or healer NOT doing what they should be (they focus more/entirely on DPS or run and hide during fights or w/e), they most likely aren't fake and are instead just learning and/or le


    Personally; What I find the most toxic of all are players with 0 willingness to learn anything, expects people that have learned to carry them everywhere. Because of reasons like "playing games should not be work". . .

    and why should 3 people that don't want to spend their time teaching a new player be forced to teach a new player if they don't want to? Find a guild then that does dungeon runs with new players. this is an MMO. Guilds are there for a reason.

    This is an entirely selfish way to think about things. You were new at some point too, weren't you? Everyone playing this game was new and needed to learn. Guilds can help, yes, but if people don't want to "waste their time" helping newer players, maybe they ought to be grouping up with their guildmates/friends themselves? Funny how the whole "use a guild" argument can work both ways. And really, what does it even COST you to help other players? A bit more time than you might normally spend in the dungeon? If you really are that rushed, maybe you, again, should be running with a premade group.

    Queue Group finder and EXPECTING to not be kicked is just entitled. Work towards not getting kicked. And no, the "there was no reason for the kick" is just BS as there is ALWAYS something that happened.

    There you go with contradicting yourself again. For one, no, it's not entitled to expect people not to be massive aholes. But then you say "work towards not being kicked", but then...how do you do that when people get kicked for a variety of petty, ridiculous reasons? If someone has no experience, how do they get experienced if people like you say it's okay for them to be kicked for that? And yes, there IS "there was no reason for the kick". There is not "always something that happened" and if you truly believe people are always being kicked for a 'good reason' then I'm not sure what to tell you.

    Myself, capped player, did 80%+ of group dps (not that I care). I noticed people were dying to a mechanic while I was soloing the boss more or so. Then because they did not get to fight the boss I whiped it. Tried to tell them how the mechanic worked so they might have a chance to stay alive - Kicked.

    So nope. There is always a reason. In my case, they wanted a carry. And I tried to teach them something in a video game.

    I wonder if maybe it wasn't something else that got YOU kicked from that group. Attitude certainly does account for a whole lot, you know.

    As a dps, I am not a healer or a tank. I have been playing the game since beta, and learn new things about the game all the time. The reason people get kicked, rather than have things explained to them, is because 9/10 times when I try to advise the tank on how to approach a boss, they get SUPER offended. Like I've gotten kicked myself from groups before for trying to teach the tank or the healer how to do a boss more efficiently. The go to excuse is usually "we still did it didn't we?" That is like saying we killed a super hard boss with 10k group dps. Can you do it, yes. Is it the best way, absolutely not.
    If you want people to help you learn how to be a good tank, this Tank mentality of "my way is the best way" needs to get kicked to the curb. I get corrected on *** all the time, but I don't throw a high and mighty hissy fit. If someone is trying to teach you something they think you might not know, say thank you.

    Pve players are the most toxic.

    *pushes up glasses* well you see, you must run this skill and this set for an increase in 9.87587% more damage for optimal rotation and must put exactly this number of points into these very specific cp setups or we will kick you because you're a scrub lord trash tier player. How can you even think about losing 3.8728% dps by not performing this very specific rotation and OH MY GOD THIS LOOT DROPPED AND IF I DONT GET IT ILL KILL EVERYONE IN THE ROOM.

    Then they go into cyrodil and somebody crouches on their corpse. IM GOING TO TAKE THIS TO THE FORUMS

    While I do usually push up my glasses, this is the mentality that causes people to not get help from others. I would much rather spend a few inexpensive minutes teaching a healer the importance of running orbs and elemental drain/force siphon than kick them from a group. In text chat you don't always get to hear the tone of the player, but I assure you that they are not trying to mock or insult you. They are often trying to help you.
    I'm sorry if that is how you view players who are trying to help you, but in cases like the one I just gave, it is often a matter of necessity. Maybe your dps has very bad recovery, and relies on the healer to have these two skills. Next time someone is trying to help you with your build, maybe take a moment to think if they are being malicious, or legitimately trying to help you.

    Yeah, that's not nice.

    The game itself doesn't seem to nurture, or value, tanks and (especially) healers, like it should.

    People should be able to just learn, as they go, but they invariably get told "just switch to DPS", when they complain that trying to level as a tank, or healer is slow, unrewarding work.

    So, how are they supposed to learn?

    As a result, you can go days without getting a heal (other than a self-one!) on dragons, for example.

    I often end up doing most of the direct healing and I'm supposed to be DPS, not heals.

    Occasionally, you will get an excellent tank and/or healer, in overland, or random, content but it's disturbingly rare.

    You have to recover from the shock that someone stopped the dragon chasing you around the area, for half an hour, or actually healed you and not just by slapping down an AOE.

    This is true.
    Not many people are actually willing to listen. Maybe that's because it requires admitting that their "I play as I want, gtfo elitists" build might not be suited for harder content.
    Also there's this weird idea that you must sacrifice 100% of your time and lose your job and family to be good at ESO. Come on, it's just a video game, not rocket science. It really doesn't take much to be reasonably good at it.

    I hear you OP, unfortunately all you can do is find a group of friends or guildies that will be patient enough to allow you the room to practice.
    You could also create a guild just for beginner dungeoneers...I bet you'll get loads of recruits. There are lots of players that feel the way you feel OP.

    My suggestion to zos would be instanced solo dungeons where you get to tank and have npcs be in your party that heal and DD. Then there could be ones for the healer with npc tank and DDs and one for DD with npc tank and heals.

    Same can be said for pvpers. In the end it's more the elitist mind set that is toxic. Ppl don't run their own builds only things that others make and they act as if they are god lol. I got a few in my pve and pvp guild.

    edit: sorry got double posted due to laggy isp

    Well, my PC EU guilds are full of great tanks, many of whom are happy to help new tanks. With some the help is structured - there will be discord sessions about what a tank is, the best set ups and tactics and an idea of progressing through various dungeons or trials. With others it’s more supportive ‘learn by doing’ stuff, like the time a group went through vet Bloodroot with me and spent a while deliberately wiping on the Earthgore Amalgum so I could get used to tanking all 3 of them.

    Any guild which does regular PvP would be unwise if they didn’t at least encourage players who want to be tanks (and healers). It makes it vastly easier to form groups and do trials if you’ve got players who are capable of doing more than just hitting dummies.

    Where do you find them? That’s a more complex question. I’ve found all my guilds through chance meetings with players who I chat with and have then been invited in. The Guild Finder should help identify guilds that sound as if they will help new tanks, but really only trial and experience will let you know if they are the right one for you.

    Good luck with tanking, it’s a super fun part of the game.

    Mate, I am an experienced tank but I never tank trials I havent tanked before. People who ask for trials in zone chat, expect everyone to know basic mechanics. You cant expect everyone to be in the right mood to turn what was supposed to be a farm run, into a training lesson.

    If you want to join as a tank, ask them first if they accept an unexperienced one and are willing to help.
