Children.....

This is the type of thing that makes cussing in town a bannable offense. It's these kind of children.

I was sitting in RA waiting for timer to start (Anti griefing=hordes of crappy teams, more glad points for me ^^) and I saw a heated discussion going on.

This was undoubtedly going on for some time, but this is what I found.

Also.. a lot of these words bleeped don't start with f, they were calling each other horrible names that start with a n.

I like the /report feature, makes banning these guys easier.

Why do people always bash children for this. You guys do know that the majority of immature people like in the 18-25 range don't you? Now if you're in your 50s you could consider them children but, no. Children 12-15. Those guys are probably older than that. With age comes confidence to break the rules not intelligence to not break them. I would know!

i never say things like that .. not even when im high o.O ..

I'm 15. Yes these are children, mature wise.

/cry

Maturity tests should be mandatory for online games.

ANet should get their adress and send the chat logs to their parents.. That'd be funny as hell.

It would be inspired. OMFG, someone please find a way to do this, officially or unofficially, however possible.

Most children are smart enough to outsmart such trivial tests that Anet could make.

"Someone calls you a noob, do you :

A: call them a noob.

B: ignore them.

C: get all your alliance, guild, local chat and friends list to call them a noob as well.

D: all of the above, apart from B. "


Yeah I think they would know what to answer. (Its D if some of you arent old enough to work it out).

c! lol hey, this guy called me a noob cuz i frenzy/heal sig

lets all spam him after 3 .. 3 2 1...

noob
noob
noob
noob
owned!


=D

'Children' in the sense here is anyone 13-25 - which is all in that same curve mentally in that they are driven by hormones and don't yet have a fully developed brain capable of rational judgment. 25 is more mentally developed than 13, but still lacking a full grasp of consequence, and still victim to hormones.

blea, its bad yea but as i like t do alo is turn off my local chat. on occasion ill put on local. me being 16 i hate when older players tell me how to act and respond to certin things. It may be a game but still let my soscial skills develope rather than tell me how to act.

Golden Rule of Guild Wars: Always keep the All chat channel turned off.

You can avoid 98% of the immaturity and idiocy if you do.

This might be an obvious question, but how does this affect anyone at all?

So kids use profanity ... and ...?

What do you expect when you don't pay a monthly fee?

In most cases, the monthly fee weens off the kids who don't have parents who are willing to pay.

If you compare WoW's Barrens Chat to GW's Temple/RA, it's quite obvious which one is the lesser of two evils.

I kinda agree in that. Even in LOTRO, people invite strangers to party complete same quest easier and are overall more social.

It is true. Although I enjoy playing the game, GW has, by far, the worst community I have ever seen for this sort of game.

This is because there is no accountability for being an asshole; there are so many people (since there is no concept of a home server, and people play more alts than a typical mmorpg), you will rarely run into the same person twice, or recognize a guild tag. Personal reputation seems to mean almost nothing in GW, and it's really not possible in this game for a person to actually get a "well known" bad reputation for harassing other players.

Heh you get immature people in all games...pay ones especially WOW and such can get them big time.

But you also get high class imature people. Level 60 tanks walking around in starter gear. Heh I remember in FFXI watching another party *I usually play a paladin* die in seconds because their paladin was a paladin/WHM and had starter gear.

Being a bad player (unintentionally) doesn't mean the player is immature.

Otherwise, half the players on these forums would be considered "immature."

Heh by level 60...they are quiet intentional.

That be like someone doing Hall of hero's in starter armour, or such. The ones I'm talking too, are the ones the defined the word newb. The ones that not only play the game 100% the wrong way *not playing their own style* but also refuse to listen or try to tell others how to play the game. It's not that someone is that high and using that armour, but even when told they should upgrade to something better they get defensive or offensive about it.

Immature people exist everywhere.

Yes, even in p2p MMOs like FFXI.

Yes I've seen them.

All you can do is send a report or whatever to anet and the time and area where it happened, and the name of the person. They'll most likely get banned.

I however keep all chat off and avoid all of these issues altogether. It's a convenient fix really.
