Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

You shouldn't be able to join a competitive pvp match or start a raid without a working microphone (self.unpopularopinion)

In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that's the case, those activaties aren't for you and you shouldn't bring down your entire team because of that.

As an clarification, I'm more worried about Raids than PVP

Destiny raids, but another is FFXIV, I did Omega awhile back and that is impossible without communication

Wouldn't you wanna do that stuff with a guild anyway?

Never played FFXIV but from my other mmo experiences, pugging any harder content is hell anyway.

I've played FFXIV some though never got to the real high end content like Omega. In general that games has one of the better PUG scenes and I could see it being doable for high end and have heard from some doing it on occasion when their guild raid groups don't have room.

The game has a player mentor system that actively encourages teaching others and collaborating and, at least in my experience, it works. You'll occasionally still come across toxic of course but even they often get shouted down by the other mentors. This leaks out into most other parts of the game in a positive way and can sometimes make grinding harder raids fine because they just accept it as a teaching moment.

(Keep in mind I'm speaking about my one server only, not the 30 others, you're mileage may vary. And I'm not talking about the weird erotic roleplay world that has also sprung up in that game.)
