    The reporting system is more than enough, because a Toxic, elitist, jerk, all of these are subjective. The issue is that not enough care to use the report system. Tickets are not how you report people, singular reports are ignored, and even if you report somebody Blizzard doesn't have to punish them if they didn't do anything wrong. Telling the 15 people who died to Durumu LFR to stop sucking is not breaking the rules, sorry.

    Constructive criticism has never been uttered by these so called "Good" players. It's always accusations, shaming and nastiness from them.
    Pointing out that you suck IS constructive. Think back to when you were new and somebody pointed out you were using the wrong talents or something. That you were bad. It is how people realize they are bad.

    Looks at all these casuals crying. I guess ruining MMO genre wasn't enough for you already. In fact, give elitist a way to filter out casual properly.

    How will that help someone to improve? Cause thats all I see in LFR, I never see someone coming with something constructive.
    As I've said before, many people can tell stories of how they got better to shut those "elitists" up.

    No the reporting system is not enough.

    League of legends had shown how you can deal with toxic players. If someone gets enough reports over a certain time period they get brought up and someone can evaluate if this person needs to be punished etc.

    If someone tells 15 people to stop sucking hes pretty much being toxic and is harassing other players its breaking the rules sorry. Ofc that depends on how they word it.

    You guys fucking suck stop dieing on this boss for fuck sake. would be abuse. If they put "guys avoid the beam it kills you instantly if you do that we can down the boss" or something similar that's not abuse but advice.

    I'm semi-elitist, I have no idea if that kind of elitism exists so if it doesn't - I just invented it! But yes I agree they should be removed from BG's and Raids in some way.

    You contradict yourself by pointing out something specific while you say random flaming is good.
    The thing you said to say is right. What you appear to mean is wrong

    You should have thought of that before you tried to go hardcore in a game that is considered casual by any good player, and other MMOs

    Edit:
    An shiny example of what i consider to be elitist is when we lack a tank. Sometimes i'm not in the mood to tank so i just go as dps. When we lack one i spec as tank, says i do so, get assist and drop myself in as main tank in the raid frames.
    All this goes on for a minute or two in the chat, so i'm sure that healers knows too. Then i make a readycheck, and a lot will say "not ready" because we lack a tank. I tell them that i'm tanking so we have 2 tanks, and pull.
    1 out of 3 times i get at least one person that goes screaming we're all idiots and we only have one tank, despite the chat being filled with me saying i'm going tank.
    Those are elitist. Those that think they're so good that they don't have to read, nor look at raidframes.

    Yeah, damn those casuals for wanting to play a game stress free rather then have some supernerd giving them shit in the raid.

    Nobody here has a problem with elitists who say nothing.
    Nobody here has a problem with elitists who offer helpful advice.
    People here have a problem with vocal elitists putting everyone down.

    Personally, I've seen more LFRs fail due to people leaving because of an elitist attitude rather than wipes itself.

    If you tell the raid, "Hey, that fire is killing you guys, Try not to stand in it." you'll generally get a lot more players willing to listen to that than, "You fucking noobs suck, get out of the damn fire.". People will purposely do the latter just to spite you.

    I don't need to sugar coat everything honey. Sorry if an F word is too much for you, but the point remains the same. The report system DOES function in a way that requires multiple reports, but even if I'm reported, if I don't do anything wrong I'm not getting punished . There is nothing toxic about telling people to get better when they are dying repeatedly.

    You don't want to be held accountable for your actions. You want to Facebook through LFR and anybody that points out that you are doing something wrong is just being a jerk. The issue is lack of accountability in the first place and until YOU are prepare to kick those who will not try, don't start trying to kick those who aren't always positive.

    Get this through your head. Elite=\=Elitist. Elitism is having the expectations others be elite. It doesn't really matter how I tell you to get out of the fire, because if you weren't in the fire I wouldn't be saying anything in the first place.

    Elitism is the act of feeling superior to others; aka exactly what I've been saying. I suggest you read a definition before shooting your mouth off. And yes it does matter. People are going to be less likely to follow when you're a dick.

    Would you rather say it cut and dry with no insults having less people do it out of spite?
    or
    Would you rather shit on people, have a lot of people die out of spite, and have the rest just trash talk you rather than focus on the encounter?

    For some people, you'll achieve the same thing either way. So why choose the option that makes the raid go even slower?

    I'm an elitist. When half the raid die for the second time on Durumu beam I call them all noobs.

    Yes, this is what appeared on my screen the first time ever i initiated a kick in LFR. Your point does not exist.

    You know nothing about me and assume a load of complete tripe.

    As the other poster above rightly stated its not about cursing its about what you are conveying. If you had actually read what I wrote you would understand this.

    You are correct if you are pointing out why someones wiping or dieing its not toxic. However the way in which you do so might be considered toxic (aka stop dieing to the fucking beam you moron: would be toxic where as "Guys avoid the fucking beam it kills you instantly and its why we wiped!" would not be toxic even though you cursed. There is a difference.

    I am a tank in LFR (or a healer on my alt) and I pretty much have to perform well or we wipe. You assume a lot of things about me (unless you refer to the general you rather than the specific you) which are flat out wrong. If we wiped I point out some reasons why we wiped. If theres a lot of people under 20kdps I will point it out and ask them to step it up (if we wiped due to enrage which ive seen). If it does not work I will initiate a vote kick to get rid of the people who are holding the rest of the raid back.

    I have also vote kicked some people who were utter dirt balls. I got flamed by some guy as we kicked his friend who was not only flaming everyone but DPSing as a healer and the healers were struggling. His friend said "its LFR ffs you fucking cunt" and some other things in whisper to me and in raid chat. Reminded him while its LFR we don't have to put up with crap from other players and if these guys are holding back 23 other people and not helping the raid they should perhaps rethink why they want to do group content.

    I am as elitist as they come but I don't stomp people in game over it. As frankly if someone acted a dick to me i'm less likely to listen to them.

    That's not elitist at all. Just stop slapping buzzwords on everything. He wasn't paying attention.

    If there WASN'T a dps who was going to tank and the group tried to go then he would have a point.

    Random flaming is not elitist. It's being a dick. However any criticism is sen as elitist. Elitism is expecting others to play to your skill level, sometime higher is elitist. Expecting people to play to an average skill level, is not. The way I look at it is, if everybody in the raid was at your skill level, would you down the boss? If yes then fine, your in a good place. If no then learn to play.

    Who is he?
    The many people that doesn't read chat and i have to tell 10 times over i'm tanking, directly, and they still go "omg we only have one tank"?
    Yes. If there wasn't a tank he had a point. Problem is i make it very visible that i AM going to tank, and yet they never pay attention.
    And random flaming is what most of the elitist does. None of us have advocated against saying "you're doing this wrong". We're against obnoxious screaming without addressing the real issue. Often they will address the wrong issue too. People die on nazgrim, due to people not killing adds, and bringing shaman to the boss?
    "OMG LOW DPS KICK THEM!", about those that have 50% done to adds.

    Edit:
    It's not seen elitist to constructively telling people what is wrong. I rarely have trouble with that, but it might be because i'm a fluffy person that just have my way with telling people what to do without them hating me <3

    Under 20k? Let me ask is 20k remotely close to what you can do? If everybody was at 20k would the boss die? No. 20k is still too low.

    Both player types do not contribute in a purely positive fashion. However, one acts reactively, the other does not. Nothing to react to? No people upset in chat. Fix the root of the issue instead of complaining about anybody who points it out.

    Noob, l2p, fail, all of these still suggest there is a skill issue. Calling others a cunt however, is in no way elitist. But if I'm not going baseless insults, and focus on stuff like skill issue, the focus shouldn't be on whether of not I say it nicely enough, but rather if my point has merit. Calling you a "fucking noob" has merit if you are displaying a skill issue. Is it nice? Not nessecarily, but the group shouldn't focus on how nicely I made a statement, but that there is a skill issue with somebody.

    The vast majority of bad casual players get their "stress free" game by expecting others to carry them. LFG and LFR has created an attitude unique to WOW where players think they are entitled to complete content because they paid for it.

The system would see the profanity or masked profanity based on certain insults and remove the elitist from the run and allow everyone else to enjoy their game. This could be any douche in the group who feels the urge to bad mouth or belittle his team.

    In the end, it is just a game. It should not matter that those of us who might prefer LFR don't do 150K in DPS, or those like myself who tank might miss a step and wipe. Shit happens. So the elitists either need to get the fuck over it, or not run LFR with strangers. Group with your friends and let the rest of us play our game our way. Since we are obviously bothering you, YOU need to look elsewhere for your runs while the majority of us casuals enjoy our game at our own pace.

    #NoMoreElitists
    I think you'll find the majority of the players that complain in LFR etc ARE casual players that are frustrated and acting like assholes. The reason why you are now wiping on LFR (despite it being nerfed time and again), is because the vast majority of the decent players no longer bother with it because they are tired of the AFKers and the consistently low standard of incompetent players.

    Elite/decent players that are worth their weight don't have a need to even bother with LFR difficulty, not even on their alts. It's not worth the time waste for such little in return.

    FYI op as you say, it's a game so why are you causing unnecessary drama on a forum about a game you play casually when there's a vote to kick system, a report button, an ignore button oh and you can also just leave the raid if non of the previously listed options work for you.

    But you dramatising and creating a rift/divide between the gaming community on these forums IS toxic behaviour aka shit-stirring.

    You're no better than the toxic assholes in LFR you speak of.

    If all these complainers took the time they spent complaining, and put it into something useful instead like learning their class and raid boss mechanics, LFR would be in a much better state than it is currently.

    Someone got their feelings hurt. Pick up your game or get called out . After this long of a raid being open I expect people to have a grasp on whats needed to be done. Cant wait to see when its only trolls, leechers , and baddies in lfr.
