I would like to talk about a problem that I encountered multiple times lately while playing wow. I’m a casual player as I work a lot, but I enjoy running more challenging content sometimes such as m10+. Although I would expect the game to give me some joy, relaxation or adrenaline rush… lately the awfully rude attitude of some endlvl players fill my heart with shame, frustration and sadness, which makes me think… whether it is worth playing the game after all.
Particularly, the last instance I tried as dps druid was a m14+ underrot. My dps was not high enough, maybe my rotation was not the most efficient one. A dps and the healer got so angry that left after calling me a waste of oxygen and that I should reconsider killing myself. I’m not a perfect player but till try to learn. Being treated like that however makes me wanna quit the game…or being afraid to do any m+ content. Why are there so many rude people out there?..
The problem with keys is that they take effort to get have them. So if you ruin other people’s keys by doing too low DPS or failing mechanics, they get angry.
Now this is absolutely no excuse for the things they have said to you, but I hope it’s at least an explanation.
You should do two things:
First of all, report them. Nobody should say such disrespectful things to other players.
Second, get better at your character, learn your proper rotation and do more damage before joining higher keys. For example, you can learn by doing lower keys where your damage is not so important. Do not ruin other people’s keys. They will always be angry about it (even if some won’t show it as much as these)
then again pugging anything through LFD is a waste of time anyways, becuse it is like 50/50 you run through the dungeon, specialy any key over 10, heck had an idiot dropp out before last boss becuse timer run out lol, like why you still have a shot at gear and get weekly done, his argument was it is a no point now, like lol.
Is that really an excuse to be rude? If people don’t do it intentionally, I don’t see any reason to be rude, tho I would probably not be rude anyways.
Quite honestly, if what quoted above was said, I wouldn’t even call that rude, I’d call that harrasment. I don’t care how angry you are, you don’t tell people they are a waste of oxygen and tell them to kill themselves. You just don’t.
and it depends on a lot, was it first time trying a higher key, was it on trash mobs they got rude or not, it all comes down to when or where it happend, some classes shine on trash mobs where others are realy bad, and again same on bosses.
and still, what they said is not right, doesnt matter at all if someone was bad or not, you do not ever tell someone to kill them selfs ever. people like that should be perma banned honestly.
Before joining anyone’s key you should be capable of doing competitive dps, if you’re not sure or new to your class then in my opinion you should push your key and make your own group.
There’s no justification for those players actions, the best thing you can do is report them.
Rude people are everywhere since forever, especially in online games.
M+ can be a stressful environment, you can find people who are unable to control themselves and act in a civil manner.
Maybe you should try to join a friendly M+ community.
You have to understand that players want to complete their keys in time ? or +++ , if you are a liability players just tend to feel exactly what you described .
You joined challenging content and perform poorly ?
Look at other players perspective as well .
Then you shouldn’t be entering mythic plus either way. I know what kind of dps I can pull off. I always do similar dps over my runs unless the tank is bad and I end up dying when I get procs.
Nothing excuse’s a player being rude at all ,its called manners and if you cant control them in a game then don’t play simply put being polite costs nothing and at end of the day its pixels .
You missed the part where I said “You may think you are more capable than you are”.
If you think you are capable, you don’t know that you aren’t, and enter situations you shouldn’t be in, without knowing you shouldn’t be there.
There has been plenty of examples of that on these forums over the years. People who insist they can do this and that, then it turns out they think very highly of themselves.
Obviously, I agree you shouldn’t be jumping straight into a key much above what you are used to, but again, people often don’t think that far. A person who does that, might not do it again, but if other people continue to PuG and meet another one of those it ends up feeling very frustrating. I still don’t think taking it out on those people does anything good to anyone.
There’s no such thing. You try out how well you perform in low keys or just a normal mythic dungeon and then you can take it from there. You don’t go into a key 10 or higher and then go “Ops”. If you don’t, you’re just plain stupid and has nothing to do with overestimating your abilities.
I wouldn’t take you to a key if you were the last player on earth even if a god like dps/healer/tank with your attitude and your way of things being rude is “ok”
I’d recommend, OP - that perhaps stick to the lower keys, for the time being (perhaps find a guild who runs M+), and build yourself up from there.
I’d perhaps turn this experience into a positive and aim high. You’ve found out that your not quite ready for Mythic 14’s on your Druid, but build yourself up to get to that point. Perhaps run a Mythic 11 and see what happens?
