TheYoungLord Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I recently returned about a week ago and haven't had too many problems but just ran into an extremely toxic player while running a FP. Long story short I died early in a fight (as a DPS) and we wiped. This dude started going off so I just left the group, then he began whispering me. I screen capped the convo.

ImmortalLowlife Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Careful..."name shaming" will get YOU in trouble. You might wanna remove this image, and upload one with his name blurred out. Otoh.... DEFINITELY send this image in a PM to Eric, & report him in-game. Unfortunately idiots like him are all to common, and are the main reason I play mostly solo. Pug groups are a flip of the coin most times. You may get a good group sometimes, but from my experience.... there's one a-hole in every pug.

You might wanna remove this image, and upload one with his name blurred out. I'm not intending to name shame him here. Just trying to share the convo, but thanks for the heads up! I just don't understand his meltdown. It was one wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanaussie Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've been subbed since July (old player but returned) and while I've had 2 comments in all of the wzs I've played....none were terrible. I have had 1 person whisper me after a WZ to encourage me to not be scared of the huttball then they helped me to set the temporary quickbar button to one of my keys since the ability had gone away and it was a temporary bar. Great person. I don't think I've run into any problems with flashpoints but I've never finished one in a group. Not sure if it's me....or the fact that we didn't have a 4th or some beibg low leveled or what. I was never blamed. No one was nasty. So it's rare to have a jerk like you describe but I'd recommend finding a guild. A guild is a lot better than random groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriksarcasm Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Sadly that's way too common. Yours is an extreme example but it happens in all levels and aspects of life. We're taking backwards steps as a whole and embracing our inner hatefulness, now that it's condoned in our leadership, as it was in the past.

DanNV Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've seen a few this way. Ignore is a wonderful thing. Most groups are pretty good, but expect a lot of silly mistakes made by people who don't now better. PvP tends to be this way on a semi-regular basis, unfortunately.

Halinalle Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) First of all, you could've handled that a bit better. Btw, he is right. You don't need tank or healer for veteran mode flashpoints. I usually don't meet players like that in groups but there are toxic players. Most of them openly insult new player / low level player. It doesn't matter how big mistake they made was. Usually trying to get them to leave so companion can be used. Funnily these bullies are usually among the worst players (skill wise) you can meet in group finder. On Republic side: maybe 1 toxic player total in 30-40 groups On Empire side: maybe 6 toxic players total in 10-20 groups Edited January 25, 2017 by Halinalle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyroman Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I tend to not see those people anymore, granted I don't do group finder content anymore except for the odd sm op that was formed beforehand on fleet. Usually I stick to the hm op community of people that I know and pvp, and most of the toxic pvpers left for harb a while ago. As others have said before, ignoring them is by far the best option, unless you get amusement from seeing them rage, in that case poke the bear but don't actually say anything toxic back. Your responses were perfect in getting the maximum rage out of them while not saying anything inflammatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYoungLord Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 When starts acting like that my reaction is just to push their buttons. IMO if they're going to freak out on people they deserve to get a little trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I won't pvp here anymore because it seems to be more often than not, that someone is getting cruelly berated. I just don't want to be in that environment, so I don't pvp. For that matter I don't do group pve/OPS,FPS either. I have social anxiety and it's just healthier for me to solo, or play with the hubby.
