Are Retail Players Toxic?

Seeing as they’re both the same community of players in retail and classic and your story has more holes in it than a wheel of Dalaran cheese, I’m gonna have to call Mulgore Field Patty on this.

Nicely crafted OP :+1:.

Retail players are so toxic, they dont agree with me saying that classic is the most polished game in the world and that blizz should stop development and just focus on classic

WoW, the failing new york times quoting me in another forum! How dare thee! lol

On Retail I am a toxic healer that always yells at my group for standing in the fire and is constantly berating people.

When I log on to Classic I am super nice and friendly and everybody loves me.

I won’t say there are more toxic players, I’ll say they’re held less accountable in the long haul

They can be toxic, leave, and que up again with no adverse effects. Retail is far more convenient so with that comes impatience knowing that you could easily find about group with a few simple clicks of a mouse

I think they still exist in classic, they’re just more hesitant. Forming groups takes longer so their toxic behavior may cost them a lot of time, and if they do it enough they will get excluded when their name gets around

You don’t need to group. If you tag it, it basically automatically gives everyone the loot. Granted, groups are better if you aren’t next to each other and need to kill X number of mobs.

I’ll always form a group if asked.

Not really. I often get into great pug groups. The way open world quests work now, is you don’t need a group. Everyone can tag the same mogs if same faction. This helps aoe/ range players more than mele.

Classic players are toxic, too. Classic has streamers. Streamers are toxic.

we are having vastly different experiences in classic then

Proof that you haven’t played “retail” in more than 2 years.

If you are part of a group you dont need yo trade anything, your conjured food just turns into someonething everyone can click and get their stuff. This change happened 9 years ago.

Are you always this hypersensitive?

This is a myth. I played 7 hours a day in vanilla and saw MAYBE 2 people go out of their way to be come such a nuisance that even a couple of guilds put them on “the list”. What did you do in Vanilla, stand in IF /yelling"Joe Blow is a jerk dont group with him!!"? No… it hardly happened and when it did, it was not a death sentence like everyone pretends it was.

I mean… I remember this happening.

I honestly think the retail community has grown nicer over the years. I talk in general quite a bit lately, usually asking questions cause Nazjatar is a huge mess and people are pretty friendly. Lots of jokers on the general chat too, but more good natured rather than mean. Could be because I’m on an RP server though and they’re all pretty friendly.

Back in the day I only played on PVP servers so that could have also been a factor as to why everyone was a prick.

People should just be nice because they want to be nice. People shouldn’t need to depend on a imaginary boogy man to act nice to each other. It’s a social crutch and we desperately need to out grow it. Slipping backwards into fear based morals makes the world harder for everyone. It allows for countless atrocities to be glazed over because those with enough power can gang up and get away with it. It divide’s us all and silences the meek.
