General stupidity and ppl wasting my time for no good reason.
Depending on context, nothing is anything. But what happens next happens and the key flopped when it would be perfectly fine if it was a + instead of a +++. Who disrupted the flow of it?
Idk what to tell you except that this
Is very valid.
Does this include the person hearing “You know what, you should take it easy. The guy is new. Stop being toxic.”?
You, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder? Disorder
Now somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep

This would go into the “context” box. How high is the new guy pushing, what is his xp regarding previous M+ according to the current key (for example if you completed a +2 of GB, you shouldn’t sign up for an 8). Also did he say he is new before the key started, in my experience when people are upfront with them being new and learning the rest of the group is more lenient towards mistakes and is actually helpful.
Saying something will rarely bring out anything good but sometimes you just need to let people know that what they are doing is wrong.
I literally did a leveling dungeon today where we wiped twice cause of the tank that zoom to boss, while all the other are slowed by like 90% , stunned, and meleed down cause who cares about aggro, right?
I am going to let you know that your idea of going fast is actually taking us 3 times the time.
At least after you do that have the decency to solo the boss otherwise people are totally in the right to let you know that you are an idiot.
challenge.
any sort of challenge in game automaticly toggles toxicity
look at dvelves - nobody raging , nobody whines - everyone is nice
why ? because it is a lol-easy difficulty which is very rewarding.
rest of game should learn .

A switch, then?
Make solo content be the challenge, and group content be easy.
Real-world inadequacy.
I often find that these people use anonymity to get away with toxic behaviour, because in almost all cases they are fairies in reality and wouldn’t have the stones to say anything to another man’s face.

What triggers toxicity?
people with no respect to others time and their egoism „jUsT a GaMe“
and the other extreme when people define their whole existence based on wow achievements

- Some people are immature
- Some people lack moral fibre
- Some people don’t feel any accountability, especially behind a keyboard
- Some people have never been shown a good example and don’t know any better
- Some people feel the need to stroke their egos in some way, as they’re otherwise incapable
- Some people are frustrated
- Some people are tired
- Some people don’t recognise that their view is subjective and that other, even opposite, viewpoints can be valid
- Some people are great, but they’ve had a bad day
- Some people are going through a rough time
Everyone is different, and we can’t ever know what’s going on with someone else. There’s no one answer.
I try to act well, but I sometimes slip if I see [or misread] malice or duplicity in someone’s actions or words.
If everyone was tolerant and patient, assumed innocence, and recognised WoW is only pixels on a screen, the world would be a better place. Random acts of kindness help too.
All of that is just my humble opinion though.

- What triggers it?
Frustration and unknowledge of the game/its mechanics/surroundings. (explanation after).
- What makes a player react in such a manner?
People has been outgearing the content for so long, they overestimated their skill and got a reality shock.
- What makes you (if you realize you’re toxic sometimes) do and say the things you do?
I too suffer from toxicity, not often though, because I’m aware of how is the game designed and through the years I’ve lerned “to breathe in and breathe out” when it comes to things that i cannot control (such as third person’s behaviours). However, we all are humans. Even the Dalai Lahma would get a bit mad if somebody leaves their 11 keystone because somebody missplays on the first pull.
Some other times I’m toxic as a reaction to the toxic. I will never expose missplays from someone that is kind and willing to learn; just the oposite though; I will help and advice based on my experience. However, if a toxic and bad player complains about something that is… let’s say not legitimate, or even if it is, in a bad way (I.E: In a run on my FDK I miss a kick in sertain scenario and that leads to a wipe; while the other guy has been dying on every boss, doing -50% overal than me, etc etc, you get the point, blames me for ruining the key probably); then, I’ll just be not friendly with the guy and sometimes, my bad, even elitist.
- What do you feel like would stop you from doing it?
It’s impossible to not get triggered, but it is a fact that a more quality on the control of the game (aka real GMs not AI) would lead to a “fearful” community at first glance, but healthier in the long run.

Bad manners, weak mentality + anonymity.
And i would guess that a lot of people that are toxic don’t have anything else in live beside gaming.
Only Blizz can do something about it but they clearly show us that they don’t care. They are leaving the playerbase alone with garbage AI for support and a automated report system.

Circumstances trigger toxicity. In WoW’s case, it’s a blend of wannabe elitist pve players who are trash in any actual competitive game, and scaling/scoring systems combined with class/spec/content balance that Blizzard stubbornly tries to force onto everyone. The combination of those factors creates this toxic cesspool of delusional entitlement and poisonous player interaction that we have in the game today.

This, met too many people that should know better at their stage in life.
I like the term “Man child” not sure if woman used this first to describe immature males but it just fits like a glove for quiet a few wow players.
Adults screaming at a computer screen is somewhat unhinged to me, reminds me of those people that watch sports just to shout at a TV screen, the ones that know better than the people managing and playing the sport.
Personalities disorder etc are usually easy to spot, I can handle those, talking to them clearly/politely calms them down usually if they are getting stressed about something.
With such little communication In retail in not sure their is an easy fix
Imagine trying diplomacy minus any talking, your only allowed to grunt at each other or shout when things go wrong
So many posters here have said they basically never speak in a group/or afraid to get reported/kicked from group
