Why I leave local chat off & need a bigger ignore list.

Hey,

I typically leave local chat off, but I had it on. Take a look at the screen shot, says it all.

We need a bigger ignore list as in at least 300+ people so I can leave local chat on. I want to block all the spammers and hatefull people. Sort the list from oldest blocked to newest.

*Edit: Also you are not suposed to use player names without their permission.

yea i have seen alot of people like this ...BUT... i see alot more nice people

Some people in game are unbelievable...I think it comes from the "Hidden behind a screen" safety mentality.

The worst for it are beggars, you tell them to go out kill a few whiptails or mantid drones to get cash and they hit you with a wall of bullshit.

Can be quite annoying.

While the response was in no way called for, you shouldn't go around expecting to be thanked for everything you do in the game. The way you 'explained' his lack of manners could have been delivered more tactfully.

But yes, a larger ignore list would be nice.

but that's just my two cents

So, the internet gives people the ability to say what they think without fear of being assaulted by some thug with an overinflated ego? And this is a bad thing? (I'm not meaning you personally btw)

Ya know, I hate imature and rude people as much as anyone, but come on OP, you basically insulted the guy for not thanking you. His response was uncalled for, totally.. but still, your own behavior was less than stellar. It's not your place to lecture him for not thanking you. You should help people because you want to, not because you expect recognition or thanks. If it had been me, I'd just move on and forget about it in 2 minutes. It's no wonder you want such a big ignore list if you are that uptight.

If that's how it is working out, than great. But more often than not, the person hiding behind the anononimity is someone who says crap that they would never, EVER say in a public group, at a lan party, or to someones face, because they know there would be reprocusions. It goes both ways you know.

Frankly, I didn't do it for the thanks, I did it because I wanted to. Then I realized that he never said thanks and being a parent, I've spent a lot of time telling my children to say, "Thanks". So, yes, it annoyed me a little bit and reminded me of how important I believe manners to be. Where would this world be without them?

So, I decided to nudge him/her a bit. As you can see, I keep my filter at max, but I can make out what he was saying, even if he can't spell off.

It wasn't until that point did I even consider him and then placed him on the ignore list.

After all, how hard is it to type <backspace> 'ty' <enter>?

I second Whiplashr's post 100%. I would quote it and "QFT", but it takes up too much room. So, yeah... there.

This is why I don't answer anyone's questions in-game. They all are asses and lazy-shits.

QFT Moral of the story: don't waste your time, go about your business

T.T

I dunno why, but that made me cry for some reason...

Maybe that's why no one answers me when I ask about something... Does that make me an "ass"? or a "lazy-shit"?

It seems an random act of not kindness should be added to the scribe

I never ask anything anymore I just try to google it since I would always get a "noob" comment torwards me.

Remember back when Proph was just out and people helped each other? =(

This is just a terrible way to look at it.

One time, this guy tried to help this old lady cross a busy intersection. The old lady turned out to be a psycho, and shot him with a handgun. Moral of the story? Don't help old ladies cross busy intersections, ever.

Please, homo sapiens are a bitter, bitter species, but we can at least try to overcome it with at least a little effort and mild risk, right? To OP: You're saying you'd give up ever helping anyone again just because one person doesn't thank you?

Yeah, and when nonmax weapons were proudly used those were the good days.

Not saying the person that didnt say thanks is right but ... one should help to help .. not looking for a thank you.

No, not at all. But that guy is on my ignore list. I'll continue to help people, it's my nature. He's number 3 on my list after almost 2 years. The other guy conned me out of 50k and the other one was rude in public chat with hate comments about other races. I don't think I'm too uptight.

Been playing since the day before release of Prophocies. So, only 3 ignores since then and lots and lots of help. I remember when people were very very friendly back then.

My ignore list is empty. I have never seen a need for it, sure somebody is spamming stuff in local chat, but it normally gets swept away in about 0.5 of a second by other people selling stuff, theres no point for me to ignore them, im never going to see them again.....
