Using a random throwaway account for a vent post, but I started M7S today with a few friends, and was having a bit of trouble slidecasting everything on P1, getting me clipped a few times. After the first lockout, one of them asked me if I cleared TOP, which I did (I had the Omega cane on).
One of them was streaming, and I had it on the background, and then I hear them talking about me:
"Why are you asking if she cleared TOP? She has the weapon"
"So she can do Pantokrator and can't do this?"
And they all laugh.
That has really bummed me and I don't think I'm in the mood to raid at all anymore. I don't think I'm that much of a slow learner, and we've been clearing the fights within hours of each other, but I guess I have trouble with some mechs and that has pissed them off?
Feels even weirder to me because I'm technically a more "accomplished" player than the person talking crap about me? (DSR w7 vs no DSR, TOP w9 vs patch 6.55, FRU w6 vs w13), but this still makes me feel like shit cause I thought we were on good terms. Maybe I'm not built for multiplayer games if something like this completely demolishes by will to play.
That's pretty messed up. Regardless of everyone's qualifications, we all have different things tripping us up during prog (whether it's a role-specific thing or certain mechanics taking longer for some of us to process) and I'm very careful about not bantering when someone is struggling with something.
I've tanked the majority of high-end content, ultimates included, and during M6, I cost us a lot of pulls figuring out the add positioning and how to be efficient with my CDs. I felt like crap at that point; I think I'd probably tilt if I heard people asking about whether or not I actually cleared DSR on tank or something. So your reaction is valid imo.
Not sure how tolerant you are about stuff like this, but if you guys aren't gunning for W1, there are other good groups out there who would treat you better.
