There's a difference between saying "OMG, your avatar looks like #$%#" and "YOU MF NOOB". Don't tell me you are RPing so much and insult in-game character - after all, you keep claiming that it's just a game.

Anybody can take anything too far. (Cosplay anyone *shudder*). But when someone says that they "have the right" to do something that goes against any sort of moral bearing that most people should have, is beyond most rational mature people.

If an NPC seriously insults you, something is wrong with the NPC. And no you cant sue the poeple that made guild wars. You are the person who paid for the license to use the game. They dont need you around. If you dont like it, then you can just stop playing. You cant legally sue them anyways, it's their game and they can make it however they like. I'm sure they would be reasonable and if they see it the way you do, they will change what the NPC says.

EDIT: nevermind, Take back all of what I said up there. The NPC can insult your character all he wants. The different is that the players arent insulting the other players characters. The insult is aimed at the other player. Not the character. You missed the point of many posts once again.

"I agree with you guys that insulting can go to far and insulting is also a bad habit but on the other hand you guys have to agree with me that this is just a game and some people also take the game way to far."

While certainly, I agree that insulting just for fun is taking the game way too far. "/signed"?

The example you gave some posts ago is extreme case, don't tell me you expect majority of players to be like that.

The difference between a NPC insulting you and a human being with a free insulting you is rather obvious, isn't it?

Seriously Hell Raiser, I think you have a good shot at the presidency of the United States. Keep up the good work.

The npc insults and i insult. We both coexist in a online world. We all cant be how you want us to be. Of course their will be jerks more expeccially in a online world then anything else. Its how its gonna be and its how it will be you just have to accept it.

I love the way you twist everything to suit your arguements hellraiser. i doubt anything an npc says to you can or should be considered an insult. We are talking about doing what you know to be morally right. You may take balthazar be damned to be an insult it doesn't mean ncsoft owes you a huge settlement. you know what is right and what is wrong and if you are telling me that you feel as though people should take things more lightly then i agree with you one hundered percent. if you are however saying that you condone such behaviour and feel that it is right to continue doing so, then i disagree. there is only so much anyone can do and so i believe in this simple rule. As long as you do not commit what you know to be a deliberate cruelty regardless of the bearing you feel it should have then you are doing the right thing. People who get sued for doing something that had a detrimental effect that they themselves did not deliberately inflict are having just as great a crime comitted against them.

I have yet to see NPC insult a *player*, not player-created character in game. Unless it is intended in funny way, and not "hey, noob". (but even then, these are very rare cases, since they don't really fit in RP sense of RPGs)

My vote is you for the following reasons:

1.) Your post was pointless and
2.) Your post was patronising

On a lighter note, does anyone think a Role Playing zone and a.. er, Non Role Playing Zone would help this situation at all. They've created a lot of new zones (Language speaking etc) but seeing as Role Players don't count it as real life then they wouldn't have the need for chatter. A simple "Lfg English group" would suffice.

Think something like this would be put into play anytime?
Would surely seperate those who wish to talk as themselves and those who count their chars and everyone elses as completely made up characters.

---
Edit: Just a mini question Hellraiser seeing as you're still here. Er, why do you want to insult anyone to begin with? Just wondering...

Okay. Just to add in my two cents about the whole matter. Yes. Guild Wars -is- just a game, that people should not take seriously. But every character on here besides the NPCs are controlled by real people. If you insult someone's character, you're insulting the person controlling the character, unless both parties are role playing. Honestly, in order to insult someone, you have to have come up with the insult in real life, correct?

Yet earlier you said that when someone is called a noob, then their character is the noob and not the person controlling it, and now you're saying that if you're called a noob, then you, as a person in real life, will try to improve their skills...yeah. Are you just contradicting yourself?

Or if someone calls you a noob, and it's not a charr, but you're not sure who it is, but you're pretty sure you didn't call yourself a noob, but you're not absolutely sure, what then?

Omg dude, like, you should have heard me, I laughed VERY loud, and there is no one else in this room with me...But about all the arguing, man o man guys relax, its a game, if you don't like to be made fun of (for your in-game character or whatever btw, not even YOU PERSONALLY), then

its a freakin game, I hope "pixels" as Hellraiser put it, don't actually affend you, man, they are just colors on the screen, if someone offends you in real life, punch him in the face.

A GAME DOES NOT DEPICT HOW YOU ARE IN REAL LIFE

I STAND BY HELLRAISER, you guys are quite full of your "pride" and "dignity."

just get a job and a family, worry about them, not a freakin video game..

oh btw, I'm a nice person in real life, I just get a kick out of how you people try to form who you are in a bunch of networks, micro chips, and ... yes, pixels..

There is a difference with the terms noob and newbie. A green horn would be considered newbie. A neophyte in other words. You should know these things. He didnt call you a green horn by the way. He called your character a green horn. Stop trying to connect dots that arent there.

I don't know, Eyahl, about the RP Zones and Non-RP Zones. I would suggest that GW really is NOT a true RPG. That said, perhaps if they added areas with a seriously heavy PLOTline rather than QUESTline, maybe it would work.

People who want to RP don't generally do it for the reward at the end of the session. They do it for the fun of playing someone else--whether it's someone much like their true-life personna or someone completely foreign to RL.

So if this were to work, I would think that heavy story-driven areas with smaller rewards might work to attract RPers and leave the quest-driven areas to the...er... other crowd.

How do you know this Mistress? Don't ever judge another human being. It takes a lifetime to be able to understand another life.

Yes I know it seems like he doesn't care, but that doesn't mean he's not nice. The things he has said just shows that his views are different from yours. You may have seen it as Hellraiser just simply wishing to hurt others, but I simply see it as him not understanding that his comments can hurt people though they are made over a game.

If a person finds a $100 bill on the ground and takes it but does not attempt to return it to its rightful owner, does he do it because he wants to hurt others? Or is it because that person is greedy and does not realize that it will hurt someone else?

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." If someone in earnest, wanted to help the world and tried to but used a method that detrimented the world, is that person still good?

Sorry if it sounds like I'm attacking you Mistress.

I believe that Hellraiser should stop insulting others and such because it does offend them, but I do not believe that makes him a bad person. I would not force him to stop, I would try to get him to stop for the sake of others, but who am I to tell him he is wrong? I do not know the first thing about him so I will not judge him, although from what he has shown on these forums, it is not that he wants to hurt others. From what I have seen, it is simply that he does not truly understand that people are offended, even if in his mind, they should not be.

Hellraiser- The fact is that the things you do, do hurt people. Maybe eventually they will learn to not be offended by comments such as yours, but at the present time, they are offended. I believe everyone should do their best to acommodate for this.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm attacking you Hellraiser.

Quite ironic the same person who called me a stalker because she had a problem with my tiger woods anology should comment on other people.... but I digress.

This game is probably the most open ended game to satify a wide variety of people....and yet people choose to exploit, cheat, scam, and complain almost nonstop when they put a stop to something....oooh it's too hard.

I totally enjoy the game, mostly because it afford me the luxury of grouping with henchman.

Why should we stop playing the game because of their faults?
These two quotes I'm about to post clearly shows who is wrong

" While playing Guild Wars, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players."

"You may not use sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language."

Oh no worries, just pointing out that there's more than one sort of person who insults. Some people I've met blame the actual person for being insulted, and some apologise for hurting them.

Sorry to assume but the way HR talks he doesn't seem like the kind to apologise. I'm mainly referring to his "Just quit the game if you don't like what I say" attitude.

Wow this guy claims to be a nice person in real life but it your actions throughout that show who you really are. you cannot say that who i am in the game is not synonymous with who i am in real life. it is simply a hiden part of you that may or may not escapoe in real life you cannot deny its esistence. communicating over guild wars is just like communicating over the telephone. No one likes it when you are rude to them using any mode of communication. You are right there is no more need to argue it is clear who is right the stronger arguements will prevail and hopefully i will talk sense into people who were perhaps thinking of becoming like hellraiser or dash. who you are is who you are you can always change it but you can't hide from it.

No offence mate, but if your fun includes ruining other people's then you should be the ones to stay away from the game. You don't NEED to insult people to enhance your gameplay, but BEING insulted ruins other's.

Isn't it easier to just not bother to type it all out?
