Whales, I'm curious, do you believe that the majority of players are elitists? So, can you mathematically explain why you'd still be pulling and filling your groups with the same players making such a system pointless. This logic is so funny.

I don't wish the non constructive flamers (healers suck, tank suck, kick them people) to be removed. I just want them to be banned from in-game chat globally.
I will personally come and wipe your LFR Run 50 times on my alt.
Can we stop with these threads all the time? 4reals
Content drought is a combination of catchup mechanics and no new content.
I don't know what I did to offend you, but you're welcome to explain to me exactly why your system wouldn't just start taking from the toxic list from the inevitably longer queues. We're not just talking about tanks. But if you're content to try and start some flame war, don't bother replying.
There is no such thing as an ignore button. If there was, I would've blown mine up by now from overuse. There is an ignore FUNCTION, which requires more than just pressing an imaginary button. And no, they are not the same thing.
Elitists are one of the reasons, probably the main reason actually, I stopped doing anything bigger than 5-mans. And I still get them there, just usually only one at a time. Much easier to deal with. I really wish there was something more that we could do other than just ignoring them or getting them booted from the group. They'll just rage in trade about how they were treated unfairly by noob dumbasses, and then when the deserter debuff fades, they'll just pop right back in but even more pissy than before.
I do not consider myself an elitist nor do i bash people but i can see why sometimes it is understandable. I just picked up WoL a few days ago and I wanted to give it a try so i joined LFR first wing on my main (13/14 normal). We passed immerseus with half the raid the other half beeing dead... Next up second boss, the protectors. Besides the ussual stand in shit no healing deaths, I did not see any1 pass mark of anguish. All who got targeted by it died. All of them. In the end we wiped with too few people left... after the wipe i checked recount to see why things were moving so slow and i was stunned. I was doing 250k DPS and was the only one in the entire raid who had more than 100k. I really find this unacceptable, 3 months into the patch, with timeless gear and whatnot. I did not swear i did not call names but my God some of them really did not belong there. I just wished them "Good luck, you're going to need it" and left. I never thought that log will serve some purpose ever so i deleted it but i regret doing it now.
So you want to change them? If they have a crappy personality that is just the way it is, maybe if we ignore all of them and they aren't able to find a que they will take the hint. You can't force them to change their personality, if they violate the codes of conduct or whatever and get banned - problem solved.
However, I don't think the problem being addressed is people with elitist mindsets. I think this is really being directed at people who call you out if you perform sub-par and aren't willing to listen to advice. Sure you may want to play your way, thats cool, but when I am running a 5 man, 10 man, 25 man, I want people around me who have thick skin and are receptive to constructive criticism, want to constantly find ways to play better, and have a decent shake on how to play. If you want to go out and try some random gemming thing and spec your own way - cool, but if we start failing and everyone else is pulling their weight but you and you stick your boots in the ground "THIS IS MY PLAY STYLE STOP HARASSING ME, DONT TELL ME HOW TO PLAY", then don't be surprised if the reaction you receive is less than desirable. Those people, along with people who legitimately think they are better than others ARE the problem, but you can't change a rotten egg...and last I checked the ignore button works REALLY well.
I think for some of you it might do you some good to put up with intolerable people every now and then, build up some thick skin/patience.
