The toxicity of lfg VoG teams
It’s bad enough the changes they made with the oracles but the toxicity and elitism of people in these lfg groups is unbelievable. My clan was short 2 guys so we ended up using lfg and found some people to fill the spots. These 2 guys said they had an Atheon checkpoint and ask if we could start there and they’d help us with the beginning parts after so we agreed.
Now this was our very first time in the raid learning everything and these guys had already played and made it to Atheon. So we start and their we a few mistakes but after a while we were getting the hang of stuff. All of a sudden these guys say um I don’t think we will get this done the damage isn’t enough. Now these guys were putting out similar to less damage than everyone else and were making mistakes as well. They just continued to be negative and no longer wanted to help anymore. It’s just ridiculous how people just don’t have the patience anymore to figure out where the mistakes lie, correct it and keep pushing. They rather be negative, create tension and anxiety. People want to beat the raid just as badly as these elitist pricks. Thus why raid should’ve stayed the same as it was in D1 and challenge mode should’ve had the changes.

This is an unfair, sweeping generalisation, but the risk of toxic players is something that LFG will always have. If I see a post asking for an unreasonable number of clears, especially so soon after release, it's not worth looking into. Some people ask for absurdly high power levels, without even knowing how it works - I saw multiple people asking for 1320+ on Day 1, even though the Contest power cap was 1300. When making posts, I always make it clear that beginners are welcome - by definition, all the toxic people were inexperienced and hadn't cleared the Raid at one point in time. It's a much nicer experience, anyway. If you offer to teach people, you are guaranteed to have a team that goes with whatever strategy you know works, instead of clashing with people who insist that their way is better. Plus, they really get into it! At the end of a Raid, it's way better to hear people talk about how much fun they had and thanking you for the help than it is to see them leave without saying a word.
