It’s very rare to see someone rage in a high key even when things go wrong. We either quietly continue, or quietly accept that the key is dead.

Well, the word is now overused. I think it’s replaced “elitist” as the new fad term
What’s that popular po** quote?
“I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it.”
To some, “toxicity” is not getting invited to a group.
To others, it’s a group being upset with them because they screwed the pooch on mechanics and cost the group a completion.
I like to think I have a fair grasp on what toxicity is. I’d argue it’s bad behavior that’s entirely unjustified.
A common example from my perspective is beating someone in an arena match and then they spam whisper talking trash. Like I said, this occurs far more often at lower mmr’s than higher mmr’s
Adults who work the whole day and have maybe an hour or two at night to enjoy themselves, often after they kid went to bed - and now wasted maybe 40 minutes to an hour of game time because someone left and their key is ruined.

now that’s a big chunk of text.
and the community feels good to me - that’s not where the problem is imo.
I’ve seen this so many times, it’s ridiculous.

I agree that instant death mechanics are a bad idea, instead they could have take extra 200% damage for 1 min or some thing that is bad but possible to recover from.

Don’t stand in the fire. You won’t die
You don’t understand what I’m saying, a lot of people will cave into pressure to share pics of their body, especially if they have feelings for someone, but that doesn’t give the person receiving the image the right to share it with their buddies, that’s just wrong
Why are easily avoidable instant-death mechanics a bad idea? Shouldn’t Keystone Masters be able to play the mechanic correctly? The only instant death mechanic in low keys is the last boss of DoS. Other than that, every mechanic can be survivable with mistakes in lower keys when you are still learning them. In high keys though, shouldn’t it be expected that players know how to do them?

Well this is a completely off-topic conversation. I agree with you, but jeez
Sorry the topic was about the toxic community, and to me although the OP talked about the toxic people in mythic+, there were other toxic things going on in this community as well
People in GD be sharing nudes?
Y’all more wild than I gave you credit for
Agreed, but if player x stands in fire so that wipes the raid it’s a poor game design. Player x stands in fire makes whole raid take stacking more damage is much easier for raid to compensate, ie better for pugs and lower tiers. Mythic raid nuke away it’s your top tier and should be absurdly hard. Hell I think Blizz should make mythic raids so hard world first doesn’t get achieved for at least 3 months of trying. But that’s just me. But by the same note I think Heroic should give the top tier of gear and mythic is only for cosmetics and bragging rights.
I am talking about the frat boy culture that has infested this game and company for years
I was actually refering to raid mechanics. but if the instant death mechanic was that if x person got hit by x mechanic then all 3 dps die that would be bad.
Yesterday I was organizing a PUG RBG team and I have some fairly strict standards.
The strictest of these is that I insist on full S2 PVP gear. It doesn’t have to be Conquest gear. I don’t expect that at the level I play, but spending a week or so in unrated BGs and Arenas is enough to buy and upgrade Honor gear enough to cover every slot except your Legendary. I know this because it’s what I did.
I had a hunter and a warlock apply to my group together.
I’m gonna assume you looked at my profile and understand why I declined (don’t need two BM hunters in most RBG teams).
Despite my preemptively explaining that I didn’t need two more ranged and certainly didn’t need a 2nd BM Hunter, this dude started whispering me that “he met all my requirements, why couldn’t he come” and wouldn’t stop. I only had 4 of 10 in the group and was busy trying to make inquiries with the other applicants to determine suitability and every other whisper was from this dude.
I finally told him that unless he played Survival I had no need for him.
So he swapped to survival and I invited him (I did need the 'Lock).
Then he continued to pester me about why couldn’t he play BM and Survival wasn’t really melee and . . . and . . . and . . . and . . . even after I told him I was busy trying to get the group organized and would he please just let it go.
I finally just said, “This is exhausting and I don’t have time for it” and kicked him and his 'Lock buddy.
Finally! Some peace to get the rest of the group together.
Nope.
Now it was more lectures on how horrible a person I am and who and what I likely had relations with and what a nice guy he was and how I was missing out and . . . and . . . and . . . <where’s that Ignore button - oh, there it is>.
Yeah. I get it. Toxicity and selfishness and childishness in this game is off the charts right now. I don’t know why unless it’s just a generational thing.

Ah you don’t know about the hidden thread
How is that poor design in the context of a five player group?
I’m not following.
M+ requires that each individual players knows his stuff. It’s 5 people. You’re either 100% of the tank/heal role or 33% of the dps. What a single individual does is very important
Being able to communicate is bigotry now? I speak French with my fellow Frenchies in Discord, if an English speaker comes in we talk English, because it’s COMMON COURTESY, and rude to carry on in another language really.
The expansion of these terms is hilarious!
He’ll learn.
Likely a newer player. After doing that a few times he’ll realize spam whispering won’t get him what he wants.
For your own sake you’re better off just ignoring from the getgo
