"It's just a game.."

Thats why added the smiley face behind the grow up. Seriously people these days take things way to seriously and one of them is online gamming. If you cant handle insults to your online characters then wtfs gonna happen in real life?

Eyahl, I agree with your last post 100%. When I play my various characters (Me/Mo, Mo/R, R/W, W/Me), they are all me to one extent or another. I speak through them to those with whom I am gaming. GW is -not- an RPG. When I want to be someone else, I run off to my favorite persistent world for Neverwinter Nights. There I might choose to be a pirate that, in fact, does run around insulting other -characters-.
Therein lies the difference: GW is NOT an RPG so when one is flamed by others, it is the character's OWNER that is being insulted. In an RPG or MMORPG, one character insults another character, not the character's owner.

Fact: You have no right to ruin someone elses experience, be it life, game or any other type of experience. There is no such unalienable right. And only the shallow-minded or completely immature would think so.

The actual "game" aspect is not being talked about. If you kill someone in PvP, and /dance, that's not a real problem. It's when someone online runs around making racist comments, extremely rude comments. or verbally attacking you that it becomes a problem. When you insult someone through a game, or through any other means of communication, just because you cannot see them doesn't mean you aren't insulting them.
When I am in guild wars, I do some roleplaying. Hell, my monk is running around Droknar's in nothing but his underwear (cold
). But I have never, will never, and never will want to insult someone anywhere. Ever. Because that is simply common decency. If you can't comprehend that, I am terribly sorry.

Ignoring the obvious poster I'd just like to state the fact that Online gaming IS real life. For some people it's a hobbie, for some it's even a way to make real money. For many like myself it's not a way to escape reality, it's a computer game I like to have fun with.
What some people seem not to realise, and I don't know if it's because they were brought up in a skip or by trolls or lived on the streets or something, but MOST of us don't actually happen to tolerate being insulted. I myself don't really make a habit of getting insulted, after all why SHOULD I be? There is nothing about me that requires an insult. It's just because some sad people wish to insult me that it ever happens.
Playing a computer game is a part of real life. Hands up who would tolerate being insulted via email or in a chat room. I don't see why a Multiplayer game gives people the excuse to be rude.
Why do people want to be rude and insult each other anyway? If you ask me, THEY need to switch off their computers and go vent their frustration somewhere else.

I cannot believe the attitude that so many people that play massively multiplayer games have adopted these days. They say things like oh come on it's just a game after they rip you off for a certain item. if you yourself have this attitude then the loss the other person that takes this game seriously feels will far outweigh any temporary benefit you may recieve. I myself have come across favorable circumstances when it comes to this game, I have yet to cheat or be cheated. Just as there are fencing competitions and martial art competitions in real life, no one takes offence if you participate in an equally consensual match and they die. When you are rude to someone or promise them something and then renegg on your word that is when people take offense. A young teen killed himself when someone stole his everquest file courtesy of a third party program. A man was murdered when he refused to return someones golden sword after borrowing it in Guild Wars. So just remember that which you call a game is of great importance to many people. Be considerate as I myself would hate to hear of another such tragedy.
HellRaiser
racism online and offline i would never do that. But come on people. Saying you are a noob is the oldest insult ever. Honestly do you people really take offence to the word noob still?

How about "Hellraiser was beaten to death by his angry neighbour, who couldn't stand his "YOU N00B" anymore" ?
You just don't get what everyone is saying, don't you?

Personally, I like to go online to get away from jackasses. When I stumble upon one, it is never fun.

This hell raiser is a fool. So hellraiser are you claiming that you can prevent such people from playing the game. I hate people like you who feel that just because they dont set the fire it is not their responsibilty to help quell the flames. So these people they are just idiots right. No one should try and understand them reach out to them treat them with decency. you make me sick and its taking everything i have to keep myself in line. people who kill themselves over a game are not freaks, they are simply misguided. every time i hear one of these stories it reminds me of why i have to treat people with respect whether ina game or in real life. Perhaps one day you will learn that your actions have consequences and you will develeop a little something called a conscience.

This thread allows people of similar mind to express how they feel to the people who don't understand. It's something I think people should read.
HellRaiser
Maybe the internet should not be made avalable to any one anymore. People who can not take online insults are a danger to our real world. Insults are a human nature. We insult people and the people who are insulted and can handle it build them selves up and make them better.
Like this fat kid i once knew, he said if he was not humiliated and taunted he would have not have the motivation to lose weight and to make him self better now he looks real good.

Then if it is a closed thread, why not leave it? And, actually, YOU and the thread you started (that was subsequently closed) were not the original topic. While you may enjoy the attention, those of us who find this topic interesting and want to engage in a civil discussion, would like to continue it. If you can offer something besides "Gee it's just a game and I don't know you IRL", please do. Otherwise, there are lots of other places that you could expound on your philosophy of online gaming. Leave this to those of us who want to discuss civility or its lack in the gaming world today.

People will say anything is "human nature", when in fact you actually DO have control over the way you act.

You are, as through all 3 pages of this thread, missing the point.
It's not whether you call someone a n00b/newb/noob, it's whether or not you've insulted them.
Calling someone a noob is somewhat accepted, sadly, as the norm for expressing displeasure in game. But that doesn't make it right. Additionally, that is far from the point.
The point is, you do not have the right to insult anyone...

Perhaps something good can come from insults every once in a while it does provide motivation. This man obviously had quite some inner strength and decided that a change needed to be made and so he lost weight. The thing is hellraiser that do not think this gives you license to act like a jerk. Do you really feel that you will help the vast majority of people with your insults. Not all people are of that mold, many will crumble under the pressure. You my friend have proabably been given far more in life then you deserve but remember there are those of us who have to limp.

I personally don't make a habit of hanging around people who insult me. Hence the guidlines for games such as these stating that people should remain civil to others so no-one's gaming experience is ruined.
It won't make you unhappy to NOT insult people, but it makes people unhappy TO be insulted. Who should really get right of way here.
