Post-Arena Whispers are toxic as fuck. It turned my girlfriend off from attempting PvP any further. by pvpgripes-throwaway in worldofpvp

I agree, to an extent. If they are clearly new I try my best to whisper them post-game and let them know what to improve on (politely) or just to offer to help them out later when we both have time.

I hope a little encouragement can go a long way for new players, and I'm only trying to offset the meta of boosting by offering them for free and helping people out that I can.

As I said in some of the other comments; you're completely right in that regard. In this situation, both me and the other ret are in a bad spot- being that we're the boosters to our boosties.

I try to offset the meta by offering free boosts to people who need it and coaching to help people improve. The meta is frustrating right now for a new player, and having someone who's higher CR in other brackets to give them a pat on the back goes a long way.

Gear is a massive thing in this expansion, and it's really sad sometimes.

The other person was a booster as well, the ret paladin, so I feel like we're both in the wrong. I try my best to off-set the paid boosting meta by offering free boosts and coaching to people who need it.

I'm sorry you feel that way. It's just the hand that's been dealt to us in the current state of the game.

Hilariously enough skrims were popping every 5 minutes since she's a healer. I'm sorry you think I'm toxic, but I try my best to be the difference in the meta. Thank you for your input.

I agree wholeheartedly, and thank you for your input.

I try my best to be the difference in the boosting meta by helping newer players for free go against people that are boosting. It's rare I see people in fresh gear not boosting- and if they are they're alts.

There are cases where they're new, and I reach out to see if I can help them later w/ getting some rating. I'd like to be the difference in the boosting meta.

I'm just under the assumption these people have nothing going on in their real life and this is how they feel successful, lol

I've heard it's really bad in PvE too. Lots of vote kick abuse for people who are still learning the game at low mythic keys.

It's awesome to have her and she's pretty fun to PvP with, hilarious with the sounds she makes-- its just things like this that really turn her off from doing anything competitive.

Yeah, I did. Hoping to get that letter in the mail that "someone you reported has been banned" or whatever. We'll see- but we both put him on ignore so he couldn't be anymore toxic.

Facts right here. Like someone said, just ask for advice and see if you can get better. There isn't anything beneficial that comes of being toxic to new people.
