"I've Never Experienced Toxicity In PUGs"

Shattered Halls TW dungeon. I’m heals.

Tank’s pulling big, but I’m coping.

Third room: I get feared by a caster, and run into a piece of debris, where I get stuck.

I let the tank know and ask him to get out of combat so I can teleport out/in.

He says, “Ok NP.”

He gets out of combat, but before I can do anything, the 3 dps kick me.

Now tell me all about how you’ve never experienced toxicity in PUGs.

Tell me all about it.

People making a literal storm into a glass of water is sad, society has collapsed.
They kicked you? wow, requeue.
I have been kicked in leveling dungeons for soloing them while DPS failed to do anything, do i care? no, i told them to get good and to have fun taking 3x the time of the dungeon to complete it.

I’m not you so can’t say I have, at least in terms of where this topic is usually brought up on GD

But yah’, I can’t remember the last time I experienced toxicity in a pug once one started doing content that required braincells to complete
But in low keys and god forbid LFR, Timewalkers, and that sort of stuff its the wild west and also why I typically don’t tend to like doing it as much

What’s your overall point with making this post?

Thats the problem with your argument, almost nobody says they NEVER experienced toxicity in pugs, just that its much more rare than people like you let in on to be.

Sounds like the dps were a bunch of fruit loops. They kick a healer for being stuck and then have to wait for another healer? Damn, thats badly decomposed IQ right there.

The best part of this thread are all the people defending the dps who kicked someone that got stuck, when a fear wasn’t interrupted (by them).

Special stuff, for sure.

Oh, a toxic system is used in a toxic way. :scream:

VTK is as toxic as the behavior it was meant to curb. News at 11. Really, pick your poison.

With dungeons tuned the way they are now, I’d rather deal with the Eastern European on VPN trying to level 10 toons at once being AFK 4 out of every 5 minutes than having some idgit who thinks it’s amusing to lock people out of dungeons for 30 seconds as a way to feel something other than loathing for a society that doesn’t accept nicotine whales into their social circles.

Whoa you got someone to talk in q’d content?

I think that’s more impressive then being booted. But as heals cant you just insta q after the boot?

Least theres that

Oh that’s right, you weren’t telling OP to “stay salty” about the situation. :upside_down_face:

Give me a break dude. Making comments like that is parallel with defending the people who caused the upset to begin with.

Lol, you won’t change my mind, no matter how rude you continue to be.

I only have one person on my ignore list.
Was a rude person during a Balck Morass run during TBC. Havent put anyone on ignore since then.

Random question, but how do you know who kicked you? Dont you just see “removed from group?”

I’d say they assumed that since the tank had said it was no problem, that left the 3 dps as likely kickers?

So you did care

I like to level a lot of alts so this is like a daily occurrence for me. Lots of idiots out there.

It’s about the principle.

Do you think I care if 3 other rats kick me for no actual reason just so they can snicker at it for the rest of their life? No. What I do care about is that those rats can do that again and again and again to whoever they want depending on how they feel on any given day.

Oh, no, people don’t wanna play with me! They’re toxic!

Did you even read their post? Never once did they or anyone else in this thread ever come close to implying that the dps was even slightly justified.

The person you responded to was telling the OP, that just because they had an experience doesn’t mean other people haven’t had a different experience.

Agreed. toxic players dont happen that often.
However IMO, its like tasting something thats gone bad.
Most times i bite into something it wont be rancid, but, i donʻt need to eat spoiled food 10 more times before i decide i dont like the flavor.
Once is enough for me.

Wow, that sucks. I’ve seen my share of jerks over the years. Kind of a lame reason to kick someone. I got kicked for calling someone “dude” before and another time because I messed up twice in Deadmines because of the bombs being thrown. Lol. It sucks but that’s just how ugly some people are sometimes. Hope you had some better queues after that.
