Who is More Toxic? PvE'rs or PvP'rs?

i’d say PvE’rs are more toxic just because they’re not interested in fighting, and probably not to good at it. If they do have a mic they’ll probably have it on game chat do they can make an alliance with every ship they see. So if a ship starts attacking they’ll throw every curse word that exists to make the attacking crew lose focus or feel bad.

PvP’rs however are smart. They’ll probably be in a xbox party or discord call, etc. so they can talk with the other crew listening. Once they’ve destroyed whatever ship they wanted to, they can switch to game chat(if in an xbox party) and start telling the other crew how bad they are, at which point the other crew will have probably left the game.

Two things I've learned: 1] People hate losing loot. Especially stacks that took hours. 2] People hate being spawn-camped, but ironically, some would rather spend their time being camped than scuttle.

In my experience, the saltiest, most toxic messages & hotmics I've received and heard, have been from players that fall into either or both of those groups.

Are these players PvEers or PvPers or PvPvEers? I just don't know enough about them to make that distinction.

They could've earned the loot or stolen the loot that I ended up stealing. I don't always know how they got it. Plus, I spawncamp incoming attacking ships just as much as ones running away. I've heard toxic nonsense from both types, though attacking ships are usually better sports than the ones getting attacked. Is it because they had less to lose, or is it because of their PvP-dominant playstyles? I just don't know.

I think it boils down to the fact that some people can't handle losing. This includes PvEers, PvPers, PvPvEers.

I'd say 70/30; for ships I attack/ships attacking me. But I can't comment on their dominant playstyle or how they usually earn loot.

Edit: For clarity, I mean salt and toxicity as @kaijoi defines it. Proper no-no words.
