I feel like even Timewalking dungeons are beyond me at this point

Came back to the game just a few months ago, just doing my own thing, namely playing alts in low level content trying to hone in on a main. Been playing since Vanilla and only quit for a long term period early on in Shadowlands.

Over the years I’ve just become a far more sensitive person. The years of insults and abuse I’ve suffered from fellow players never hardened my skin; it has done the exact opposite. Along with all the stories I’ve been reading here and Reddit during my time away from the game has only reinforced the fear I have of group content. I don’t want to be considered the toxic one for making a mistake.

I’m sitting here wanting to queue up for some timewalking dungeons, get some badges, maybe some gear for my lower level exp locked mage, but, honestly, I’m scared. I haven’t done group content in years. I’m genuinely afraid of what people will say to me. My mouse finger quivers a little when I hover over the dungeon finder button.

Is there anything I can do?

I enter as a bear, not say a single word, kill everything, leave.

What do you mean? If I sounded angry I didn’t mean it.

With real people, though. Knowing that doesn’t make their words hurt any less.

If you get hurt by words from randos that mean absolutely nothing to you, you’ll never meet, and more than likely will never see in game again, you have bigger issues lol.

The healer didn’t heal the last two dungeon I ran in that, I was the only one healing with self heals , it was that smooth of a experience. Its basically a free run for a heals and dps

Oh suuuure, let’s keep excusing toxic behavior that drives players away

what could possibly go wrong?

Based on the last paragraph of your post, I can suggest a few things.

  1. Stop caring about what people think and give it right back to em’
  2. Turn chat off
  3. Go play Skyrim

It’s not excusing it, it’s a comment on not letting it get to you so bad that you are scared to do content lol. There’s literally a report feature if you think it’s bad enough. For every bad group you encounter, there are probably 10 or more that you are going to have zero issues with.

1:10 is still a terrible ratio. You must not heal or tank in PUGs very often.

Turn chat off in dungeons if you can’t handle someone saying something you don’t want to see? It’s in the settings.

Press the button! TWing dungeons are pretty easy. Groups tend to be either silent, bulldozing through the dungeon, or friendly with some jokes IME. So, my suggestion is to jump in and see what you think.

Are you not going to address what I said because you know I’m right?

Your opinion would be very different if you weren’t a DPS main.

It’s very clear that they are well aware their fear is a personal issue without you pointing it out like it’s a joke.

Yup I know. I was curious as to whether or not clicking that option would let people know I have it off so I’m not maliciously ignoring them. Couldn’t find an answer anywhere so I finally tested it myself, and it does not in fact. Still though I’ve been considering pressing it. I’d feel bad for the good people trying to communicate with me, but there just seems to be so many bad people in the game these days that it would probably be for the best, for my own protection.
