The popular post on Reddit by user u/Arkavien kickstarted the conversation, with them sharing their thoughts on some of the game’s less savory players when it comes to group activities such as Mythic + and Raiding, and their expereince with what they describe as “fragile players.”
In their post, they describe their expereince with players who, after receiving some constructive criticism or advice on mechanics or certain dungeons, would be quick to get aggressively defensive and, in some cases, a bit spiteful toward players. In their case, they had three stories to share, all seemingly from one night of playing, all of which had similar situations arise.
Following their post, countless players joined in to share their similar expereince and thoughts on the matter, including the game PvP modes. As expected, most of the comments are from players annoyed about this issue and bothered that this, as well as some overly toxic behavior, only serves to upset and ruin the expereince of other players. One user named u/Jaggiboi summed it up by saying, “Well, the fragility is also a side effect of the toxicity.
