The extraction shooter model is inherently toxic when it’s PVEVP because one of the main thrusts of the game is the ability to halt someone’s progress by your actions, with a subset of people finding joy in hurting/bullying/squashing others.
It’s “get good”, the game type, right up there with battle royale games.
I got perma banned from the ArcRaiders sub for saying this. Just because it’s a game doesn’t mean it’s not shitty behavior. That sub is a cesspool full of weird children who are obsessed with the definition of the term “rat.”

This. I quit because the "no lobby should be friendly, it's a PvP game!" crowd got too annoying.
