That isn't that long really. I would take walls of text too.
It's not just a game to some people and people on this topic are missing that. Some people play Guild Wars for the experience (tactics, etc), to be part of a team, or to just win. That is why people get angry when something happens. It is has nothing to do with it being "just a game", because it's not just a game to them... had that been true there would be no reaction from them in the first place. |
I know Guild Wars is not "JUST a game" to some players, but it IS a game none the less! I've met a lot of my friends on GW also, some of which live in other countries.
I'll tell you how strongly I feel about this... my daughter was playing GW one night. She was quite young. I went into her room to see what she was doing (I was going to log in and join her), but she had closed her laptop and had been crying. Someone in my guild at the time had ripped her a new one because she didn't react quick enough in a GVG match. Basically, they went back in without her. I logged in, kicked the SOB out of my guild right away, no talk, no questions asked. You just don't treat people that way, it IS a game. And in my opinion, if you're capable of such ugliness, you definitely shouldn't be playing games with other people. Today, my daughter is rank 12 and organizes her own PVP sessions... because given some time and patience, someone taught her.
Game = Fun
This is long, I'm sorry.
