Never apologise in LFR.

[Paulosio]

Was doing Horridon LFR earlier and managed to die early in the fight totally due to my own mistake while being slightly distracted by a real ID whisper. The group wiped by the 3rd gate mostly because too many people were tunneling dps on the boss instead of clearing adds and not dispelling etc. 3 other people died at around the same point as me.

After the wipe I said "Apologies for my early death. It wont happen again". Some guy says "ye it wont. You didn't accept the res either". I told him I never got a res and he was like "I know what happened because i'm on TS with the lock who resed you". Someone in raid corrected him and said that the lock actually resed a pala who was afk.. And I told the whiner that he should "be quiet if you don't know the facts".. no profanity.

I then get kicked (probably initiated by the guy who was whining).

Moral of the story afk, ignore mechanics and die randomly. It's fine. just never apologise.

Hold on, let me get you a tissue. This is obviously a very important chapter in you life; so important you had to share with us.

Infracted

That's fairly typical. Sorry you had to go through it but it's just how dealing with strangers in a competitive game tends to be.

LFR should always be done w/o chat enabled.

That sounds pretty tame for being LFR or the internet for that matter.

Guy is pointing out how toxic the wow community is by relaying an experience. You are confirming it by submitting a useless douchebag attitude reply.

Point OP makes is valid. There is no winning an argument if the nerdrager/internet tough-guy has a few friends with him. Doesn't matter if he is in the wrong or not.

Welcome to LFR. Enjoy your stay.

Hold on, let me make a useless comment. This is obviously a very unimportant post to you; so unimportant that you took the time to comment on it.

Basically:

LFR is about as competitive as peewee baseball, people just like to be dicks..........period.

that would be HILARIOUS

emotes only LOL

[McCronCronz]

Which is why I never talked in chat during LFR, or if I really didnt like the group of assholes I got put with I'd just auto attack every boss and alt tab.

I like this post. It's very accurate.

On topic:In LFR, I usually say nothing and just get it done. You can usually tell fairly quickly how the group will go, and if X or Y person has an attitude. If anyone complains, link your performance relative to another person. I'm sure you won't be doing the worst, and could use that to get them to stop complaining.

LFR: Working as intended!

This isn't new news.

LFR sucks and we all know it. You're better off just not talking, collecting your loot and leaving. If you expect to make friends or conduct anything in a civil way, you're gonna have a bad time.

[McNeil]

And I told the whiner that he should "be quiet if you don't know the facts"

And that got you kicked. Even if you were in the right, there's no need to attack back

[testsubjectzz]

I hear you. LFR is all just tunnel every attempt and if you wipe repeat again till determination is high enough

[Deathgoose]

If there was a mod out there auto-translates chat text into "opposite faction gibberish", that would be perfect for LFR.

We're not talking about LFR specifically when I say "competitive" but WoW as a whole. It's a game where your performance is judged by those around you. (Yes, even in LFR by someone who might only be pulling 20k DPS because "lol it's LFR Im not trying but u r")

You must be new to the concept of anonymity on the interwebz against strangers whom you yield no affiliation to.

Or you have never, ever, ever played a MoBA game in your entire life.

Keeping a low profile is preferable when in the company of odd people in a volatile environment, yes. It's not like anyone would be seriously interested in what you say, whatever it is, anyway, and there is no such a thing as an etiquette in LFR.
