Breathe deeply, realize it's just a game, and move on?

I have people on my friend list who are excellent players, but have the personality of serial killers with Asperger's. I have people who are really fun to hang around with, but aren't capable of running more than the simplest build. Learn who is who, and be happy.

Would try to find out why they said/did that and solve it like a person and not a raging monster kicking the computer.

IMHO, it's harder to get back with friends in RL rather than in a game

I would probally take a break from the game for awhile to cool off and unwine. Remember the computer is your friend, its lets you play games and go on the internet. After I would talk to them and try to find out what is going on. If you don't like the reason you get, find new friends to play with. Trust me there are plenty of us out here.

Cut your losses and find different people to play with. I was in a guild that I really liked, but drama sprung up and I left with no regrets.

I'm sure almost everyone has a story just like yours. Take it as a learning exprience. Just remember one thing, it is easy for people to hide behind a computer and try to intimidate you. Don't let them, the IGNORE feature is your friend.

I agree to this, it is a game.
some times you think that u know a person and then they turn out to be someone else.

Trusting people you've never met IRL, is a risk.. a risk a friend should take.

It is hard to make good friends over the internet, I wouldn't rush.
Even one good friend is enough, many will just cause problems.

Rt/

the only person I play with on a regular basis is my husband, yep, he has done lots of stuff worth kicking in computer, tv, microwave....for.....
however, its much different since I did marry him, for some reason

so I guess you have a choice----talk to them about it (and get some closure/resolution on the issue) or move on....(almost been there too).

but remember people are inherently selfish...MOST think of themselves first....if you still want these people as friends then you need to talk about it.

If you cared about your friend, then talk to them and try to resolve the problem like a mature individual should do in polite society (aka in RL). If you weren't all that close as a gaming friend or you could not care less about them, then you should forget about it and this thread may be closed. :s

I'm sorry for your problems, but I think I might have the solution.

That's not even 100% a troll response. The Sun's radiant energy is one of the key factors of a healthy, stable lifestyle. The more you get, the less you'll care about what a couple names on GW, a couple voices on vent, a couple myspace profiles for people who live effectively a million miles away do to you.

GO OUTSIDE.

EEK! Bright light! Bright light!
sun is bad! BAD i say!


Anywho, I do recall this one time me and my hubby were vanqishing an area and he got us wiped a couple of times and the 3rd time i threw a coffee pot and hit him with it.
So you can either talk the problem over with your friend or just pick up and move on.

No because all my online friends aren't that close to me. So it practically impossible for me to be mad enough at them that i wanted to kill my comp.

Never place yourself in a position to get burned.

I've been ripped off or let down dozens of times but I never place myself in a position where it would in any way annoy or disappoint me.

Want to borrow some cash or some good gear?No problem.

Want to borrow something I'd regret losing.No chance.

Basically when you place any form of trust in someone think of the worst case scenario that would occur if that trust is broken or abused e.g losing cash, gear, accounts, back stabbing etc, etc.

If you can't accept that as a possibility don't do it.

80% of my time i play with my boyfriend that i have been with for nearly a year, and yes i do want to kick the computer once in a while, but he calls me and reminds me that he still loves me and that if i was going to kick something i should probably look for something cheaper and less destructible....

the rest of the time i play with my guild, and when they do somethings that drives me crazy i call my boyfriend and he reminds me what i said above.

the worse it has ever got (before i was with my guy) was that i quit GW for 4 or 5 months... but that was caused by guild drama and i just didnt see the point of playing GW anymore, since i was sticking around for guildies, NOT for the content.

If I were in that position I'd probably move on to a different game. Assuming I had something else to do, of course.

Talk to them. Its what you do with friends irl. You dont get into an argument and then that's the end of it. If you did that, they likely werent very close friends in the first place.

its the same as having friends in real life, you talk your problems out, unless you don't wanna be friends anymore.

I don't have true friends on GW or the internet in general, so I don't run into that problem. Nuff said.

Just today a friend that had stopped playing randomly logged on. Him and his group had moved on to WoW a year ago, and he was going back to school and stuff. He was a really cool guy and I was kind of naive when I met him, and he was also somewhat of a mentor.

Anyways, when he logged on today (first ive seen of him in over 6 months) he switches through his chars, I pm a first time cheerily, he switches his char. I pm him on the other char... He logs off/puts his status to offline.

For some reason though, I don't think this was my friend, the constant char switching may have been someone rummaging through his account. He might have finally given it away/sold it. Or someone illegally got into his account...

But yeah, after over 6 months of not talking to this old time buddy, and then finally seeing him (or someone on his accnt), it was disappointing.
