So many times I’ve gotten into groups where we lose one game and a person leaves. Some times the players in the groups get hurt by every little thing. For example, I had a Holy Paladin with me today and I said sigh after losing our second game because it just sucks that we lost. He took this as an insult, left, I asked why and he said he didn’t wanna hear “Sigh” every loss. Keep in mind I only did it that one time. I tried to reply and get him to come back but he blocked me. Several other times I’ve been in groups where nobody is willing to learn, instead, they turn to toxicity. Do players expect wins to just be handed to them? This isn’t socialism, nothing in this world is just handed to you, you have to work for it. I honestly don’t complain about the classes as much as I complain about the players. If I found a team that was willing to learn, I bet I could get to 2200 or 2400. But, people just don’t learn from mistakes and move on. Instead, they get toxic, rage, and leave. This isn’t just WoW anymore, it’s the world, everyone just wants everything without having to work.
You can also thank the games design philosophy for encouraging these mindsets.
They’ve made so much of the content passive/relatively easy to obtain, so the second some people are hit with roadblocks they freak out over it.
I recommend you find someone via 2s who you really vibe with (dps or healer), and then find a 3rd for you two. This is how I did it in the past after many friends of mine quit the game and it worked out well most of the time.
What are your expectations in lfg when looking for people?
I ran into an arena forum poster.
He was so upset about our arena SKIRMISH loss that he bailed on me when we were randomly matched up again.
Did you really expect a different result after typing sigh after a second loss? I’d ditch too.
Its the same thing as pvpers trying to get into pve groups. We dont have the achieves or io to get into the good ones so we have to settle with the ones who disband after 1 pull. (And not “want to learn”)
Is what it is. If pvp is what you enjoy, keep at it and grind through
tell them to get better and then move on.
It’s just like a “Dang” for me. I say that instead, wasn’t getting mad at him was just annoying we lost.
yuck this invokes big tilt
paladin in story was right
ya makes sense, not productive though
saying ‘that’s toxic, i could probably x there’ is a less lazy way to display that you’re not just whiny
players that ‘sigh’ or ‘zz’ or ‘.’ at every little thing esp at losses with nothing more productive to add or when a singular non elite pat gets pulled in a low key ect are the worst
no offense
Yeah, probably should change how I say that. But still, me saying sigh after 2 losses after all the games we just won? That’s just ridiculous…
Sighing in general annoys me.
Gnomes are nice, not toxic savages.
Listen to Daddy gnome…Gnomes have magical powers to protect or punish people – or to reward them with happiness…but if people want to mistreat us they only goin to get the boot. u gotta give them the boot.
Add me. I am willing to lose and learn (and win) as many games as we can, just want to queue.

Hit’em with the “?” after you stand in a kidney/bomb you should have had something for. My partners always get me with that one.
Drop an elusive “hmm” after a questionable loss
Just pick one of the classes you lost to and say “X class is just broken. LMAO!” everyone stays happy that way.
It was my fault, I screwed up but the pally did too. Just was a dang or sigh moment that we both screwed up. Really worth raging for?
It depends, maybe look at it from their point of view, they could have just played with 7 different people going through the same experience, one loss and their partner leaves. As someone who has mained a healer for my entire WoW career, you get blamed for every loss, very often, especially from randoms in LFG.
I personally try my hardest to play this game solely for fun, but I go up and down rating from LFG and there are plenty of days where I play at most 7 games with at least 5 different partners all doing these same exact things. There’s a good chance he’s been blamed by a lot of previous people with similar reactions and this one may have been the straw the break the camels back. So, while it may not be the “best” reaction on his part, I’d definitely say if you’re saying “sigh” after the first loss or two and you know you had blame in the loss, don’t let that be the first thing you type.
There is no reason, unless you don’t care to push rating, to not be using voice with people you’re queueing arena with. People love to be toxic in text, less so in voice. You’ll get more constructive feedback that way and are more likely to make friends with someone to continue to push.
If you’re going to be playing Hpal Mage you should probably be using comms since it is unlikely either of you understand the setups for that comp very well and it’s not like Healer / insert mongoloid melee here where you just focus on slamming dam and not dying.
