It's natural that as a playerbase gets larger so do negative (and positive) events. WoW refugees are a real thing, but they're not the root cause or any real appreciable gain in toxicity to the community as far as I can tell.

Mind sharing the actual specifics of what happened and how it led to that? It's not that I don't believe you, and this community is not nearly as perfect as some people pretend it is, but I haven't ever see anything this vile.

You had someone wish you threat threats to you and a first born? Over what exactly? Failing? In what context.

So what y'all think? Should I get used to tanking being a choice to be a proper hardcore raider, or will things cool off once things start to settle with the expansion?Few notes: So what y'all think? Should I get used to tanking being a choice to be a proper hardcore raider, or will things cool off once things start to settle with the expansion? What with a lot of WoW refugees being a thing, and the game pushing 16 million, I'm wondering if a lot of those refugees are bringing some of the toxicity that has existed in WoW into the player base, or is it always like this when a new expansion drops? I'm not some insecure mofo who can't take criticism, but when people start sending tells wishing death to my firstborns, and being stabbed with a linoleum knife, that kinda wears on you after awhile. FFXIV is known for having a pretty chill community, but since the expansion, I've noticed some seriously toxic folks. I've made a flub here and there due to being tired or distracted by reality, but I'm a competent tank. Make one mistake and the DPS(not all, plenty y'all cool) FREAKS out every other instance or so. The reason so is because I notice healers seem to be under some pressure with the changes. With the release of SHB, I've cleared Titania EX as GNB and I'm a bit conflicted the about continuing to play the role, let alone the game. About halfway through, I decided to try tanking as DRK to avoid the long queues. Started off as a DRG, then went SAM in SB. Fast forward today and I'm now an avid player of FFXIV. Make a single mistake, and the raid leader would set guildies aside and be known for cussing folks out privately.Įventually, I went DPS with DK and went off to make a server first clear of Icecrown before I hit the WoW apathy wall. At that point though, I began to find healing back then to be rather stressful. I found healing to be pretty fun and managed to make it all the way to a naxx clear. Playing a pally back then meant you were holy or doing PVP.

My first class was a Paladin during vanilla. So I first started MMOs that followed the trinity with WoW.
