Is Respect For Your Enemy Gone From MMOs?

[Twyxx]

At this point I'm surprised if I don't get a hate tell on a frequent basis

You WTFBBQPWND my shammy too you HAXXOR!!!!

Joker, is that you?

Spoiler:

in sc? this is what you get pre sc to try organize some premade on destru side

To be honest, I could see how your reply could be take insultingly.

Kind of like your scoffing at the fact they play a dps DoK and it's not good enough for your premade. Without giving the person a chance, your already writing them off.

Instead, you could have simply said, sorry we are looking for X class atm, instead of repeating the class they're playing just to tell them no.

it was a simple "no sy" not like i told him noob / re roll , we need propper classes :/


Tell: we would like a propper class cos it performe better would actually be more rude anyway the no sy was a more polite way to tell that. If ppl dont understand that dps healer are only good for solo that's not my problem.
Also party is mine and i decide who enter and who not :/

I think it's where you repeat their class, instead of just saying no sorry to begin with that could be taken as insulting.

I'm not saying your wrong or anything. I was just saying I can see both points of view.

Obviously the other dude could have simpley said, ok thanks anyway. lol

Full disclosure... I'm no saint I'm not running a dps DoK in a premade either and wouldn't lol

delete the /say visible for the other side

I actually enjoy chatting with opposite side, got a few friends and generally had fun from it. Didn't experience such hate that would turn me against. Some people are rude, but they will always be no matter what. All you need to do is (if implemented) ignore.

I think a lot of the sh*t talking over /t gets misinterpreted. To use the example in this thread, someone /t ing you "EFFING SORCS!!" after an SC wasn't probably pure rage, rather a commantary on how effective you were. Take it as a compliment. After getting wtfpwnd on my shammy in an SC last night by Poo, I sent a /t "Leave me alone b**ch, I'm trying to heal!"

Now that could have been taken the wrong way, and I hope it wasn't, but that was a backhanded compliment of sorts. He and the slayer he was heal-botting wtfbbqpwnd me - and fast and It, to me, was kinda funny. But thinking about it later, I understand how it could have been taken the wrong way.

Often I am sitting in Ostaland, chatting with Sweets or Elchappo, testing stuff and and SC pop hits and a minute later, we are killing eachother. Comments like mine from them would be taken as a compliment. It's when you don't really know the player that you can read into some /t's the wrong message or lose the sarcasm and humor.

There are those out-of-their-effing-mind angry /s and /t's you get, but usually those are from players getting farmed or just bad at their class. I love it when they accuse you of being a "haxxor"
because they died.. again and again.

Luuca you and that bastage Megaladonis! <sp> Chased my poor bw down in the bay behind Dok karaz! I was just going for a swim!


I was kinda put off by the xtalk at first as it was hard to get used to. Now not so much. It is nice to be able to compliment someones play or strats at times though. Just my .02

Holee chit... that was you... had almost forgotten that.. I kept wondering "How in the hell does a fire based attack do any damage in water?"

That was nearly an epic chase. had it not been for flee/AP pots, I doubt we woulda caught you.

Tesq our premade is doing its best to smash the melee doks first and for most every time we see them.

Just tell your healers to leave them to die and they'll get the point
