bladezero.9470 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I embrace the toxicity. The salt, including my own, sustains me in a sea of Gold shitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually go out of my way to try to be nice to at least one person per game, even on the opposing team. That kitten'll eat at you if you let it. I very rarely get accolades unless I save someone from a poor matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeL.8260 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I lose my temper all the time but surprisingly forget all about it the moment the match ends and I never go overboard with it unlike previous experiences with competitive games. When I see someone flaming just for the sake of it I block them on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieux P.1238 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 ZERO, cuz i just gived up. I could care less if i win or not. Unless you count teabagging the other team as well your team8's toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDAC.2137 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I haven't PvPed for a long time but I hope I've never been toxic. I've been salty toward someone on the team who was being toxic (usually doing nothing themselves but ranting on how stupid everyone else is or whatever) but that's it, and never beyond the match.

Multicolorhipster.9751 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I never give up and only flame when i'm first flamed at. I'll drop a "yikes" or "how in the world did it figure this one?" in map chat here and there when me and my team of golds and p1 players are matched against a DuoQ of 2 top players, but other than that; what's the use in tilting your team, I say.

Ralkuth.1456 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 > how many times are you toxic? (Per match) And on which way? Did you flame others, give up, or something else? Against teammates or enermies? Are you sorry about that? I always fight to the end of each match and try to do as much as I can. I also recognize that "my best" is a very constrained set of rules so thinking about the best solutions I can do + watching steams/videos of some of the best players making good decisions is in my opinion the best way to enjoy sPvP. I do get very tilted sometimes but I never blame anyone or get aggressive in chat - it's pointless to argue about whose fault it is since it doesn't change anything. > And ofc how does it look on the other side? Did others be toxic against you? When I get insulted in map/team/private chat, I just don't say anything. What they do is pointless, and it becomes even more of a waste of time and brain juice when one engages in ego-fencing. It's like those flatworms fencing and trying to impregnate one another. > At least how many players (including you), did the opposite? Like being nice to you and so on. I'm very grateful for constructive criticism - there's maybe twice that someone gives helpful advice, I ask them more about it in whispers and it ends up super educational. Most players don't do that and that is normal - it is likely you won't get them on the same team and if you climb, you won't see them again, but these little acts of kindness will be remembered. In the old forums, Shadowfall, one of the best sPvP Rangers NA, offered lots of solid advice and builds in the class subforum and it kickstarted a fun journey into all forms of Power-based Ranger builds. I played Druid and Soulbeast (before WI buff) to around 1500 thanks to his help. At the moment I'm de-learning all the bad habits I picked up playing Bunker Druid and all the easy stuff (it’s got potential, but I’m just not reaching it), and am actively suffering through a Power Mirage experience (knocking me 200 rating down into backwater town, but I guess that's where I belong). It's definitely painful sometimes, but Jazz's videos teach well and I feel I can translate the experience to all classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Tempest.7584 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I don't say anything negative, let alone toxic. I really wish others would do the same. No matter how bad my team is I never blame them. Matchmaking can be awful sometimes. It's not anyone's fault. My absolute worst experiences in PvP have been when someone singles me out to blame for (in their mind) not doing something well enough or for our team losing. I've had some very nasty things said to me, and though I try to have a thick skin, it really does bring me down, even if the other person is completely off base. No one should have to go through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So should we forge/bend ourselves to the whims of tormented souls? :p jk Some even spew salt in unranked...

Anet should filter/find toxic chat in chat logs and apply dishonor automatically I stepped into unranked the other day to try a new build and I kid you not it was more salty and toxic than any ranked match I've played this season and I've played plenty. Sadly it just comes with the territory. Competition can bring out the worst in people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it just comes with the territory. Competition can bring out the worst in people. I tend to think it’s just unranked, it does bring out the worst things in people. Ranked at least makes sure you’re paired with people somewhat around your level of play, and anecdotal experience is that rarely does negativity happen - sometimes a close win/loss will prompt a short comment before leaving and that’s it. In Unranked though... everyone believes they are above the game mode and go into an explosive rage when they feel they are being embarrassed playing with lowlifes/monkeys. Then they would go on about how much they don’t care (but in reality only people who care too much say these things), and create elaborate excuses about how even though the team is losing, they apparently aren’t, or they claim they are _actively_ making you lose and try to ignore the fact that they are also losing. Do you think mental gymnastics should be added to the Olympics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth.4217 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I dont flame but I pour gasoline onto those trying to flame... I say things like: "I think your caps lock is on man" "Hey man your shift key is stuck again" Called a fag or hom0 "sorry man I dont swing that way but better luck next time finding that man youre after" If they call the team trash "its not nice to call yourself trash" And so on... Oddly enough the people I see raging the most are the ones playing Holo/War/SlB META builds that are getting creamed by the enemy comp, its like they are just frustrated that not even a META build could carry them.

I find its the Elementalist's that are most placid... probably because they have too many buttons to press already but they're usually the quieter ones...

Damocles.4908 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I shell share words of wisdom starting from core gw2 release...PvP now for me is still fun tbh I use a custom build for which I have had shade thrown at me for using a core build. I general win fights but will admit to loosing to guys who are at the lvl of putting weapons away during fights. Playing against specialisation can be dishearting as wish I could use some of the abilities they get but if they play to a Meta combo common pattern or expect me to follow a common pattern well...surprise ( I defeated as SB and he was most upset to the point of only going for me). In terms of sportsman ship it's lacking alot...I remember one guy saying he was afking without realising his team was red ( winning) thinking he was blue. Even if the team afk I'll still try to give the enemy a run for thier money, so my thrill is making builds to fight against the common meta that people don't expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah there, save some accurate statement for the rest of us That being said, its good to see a handful of people actively not feeding in to the ego cesspool that is PVP chat.

saerni.2584 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I’m not toxic. I have tried to get people to focus rather than spout off pointlessly. I sometimes suggest they take a break to relax. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alin.2468 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 It is the same PvP game mode for 7 years (soon). The community could have been blamed for toxicity at start, now after 7 years, and after the huge kick from eSports scene + solo play promotion (in a team), I don't think it was ever the community's fault. Maybe players are not toxic at all, maybe is the game's fault all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
