Anybody else notice some people take this game abit too seriously...

So, doing random arena to pass the time.. get in a HORRIBLE group they all die in 5 seconds after engagement has begun, Im still standing and almost kill 2 of them before being dropped in well over 5 seconds after they started on me, So I ask in group if people had been to the arena before...

All of a sudden this warrior spazzes out and starts calling me a jew.
Which I asked in turn if he really considered an insult, and if so he should seek some professional help. And if he planned to insult me he should try alot harder as his insult didnt make me "mad" at him.

All of a sudden he's asking me where I live, I tell him its a game and he will get over any insult I offended him with.

So he sends me his address and starts asking me to come kill him...

I mean honestly people, I love this game. As I can just launch it get in a few rounds of arena, or if I have alot of time do some tombs or FoW/UW. But atleast the "subscription" games filtered out SOME of these type of people(I know not all as I have met some in WoW/EQ/DAOC/UO).

Anyways, just needed to "rant" abit about that... people boggle my mind sometimes.

Well, you know, when you're twelve years old, and have all these raging hormones in your body, a person tends to act like an ass.

giving you his address and telling you to kill him, i find that kind of funny

That is about as pathetic as it comes. *sighs* It's too bad that the rating on the box is not observed by the parents who buy it for their too-young children and the salespeople who sell it to them.

I stop doing anything random really, promiscuous fighting isn't worth the risk and one-fight-stand sucks

Too bad this is very mild to some of the shit I've been through in online gaming.

*flashbacks of his RL female friend getting sexually harassed in EQ*

Salespeople cant discriminate against the parents who wish to purchase it saying that the parents children will play it. That's like saying I wont sell a knife to a mother because she'll leave it around the kitchen where a kid will kill a cat or some odd stuff like that.

There are a lot of assholes out there.

Enough said me thinks.

Well no kidding, QTFsniper.

I should've worded it a bit differently, more like this:

It's too bad that the rating on the box is not observed by the salespeople who sell it to too-young children.

I mixed the two sentences into one horrendous run-on. I apologize.

I was not a jerk when I was 12. I think people these days expecting kids to be jerks is part of the problem. Just because people are young doesn't give them the right to be an ass.

True enough, some of the biggest assholes I've ever met in online games have been adults. In fact one guy who was...particularly rude and obscene was over 40.

Why oh why do you post this crap. God damn.

I find that hilarious

Yeah, the teenager thing is a bit of a stereotype (being one myself ), and the fact that that happened to you is just...sad...But you are gonna see alot of it in arenas, considering that its new player central...Also people getting worked up about losing, even in RL last week a kid killed another kid with a baseball bat just because he lost a baseball game...

if anyone ever asks for your address say you live here
1300 Metropolitan Avenue
Leavenworth, Kansas 66048

whats there?

Go look it up on maps.google.com
(use the satellite view)

okay, i did that, any chance i know what this place is, if i never been to america?

damnit this could be anything. well, its NOT the eiffel tower, i guess.

It's not just kids, and it's not just this game.

Base ball, baseket ball, you always have people who take the game too seriously and end up in fist fights.

Heh, even a better example would be soccer. Ocassionally there're some riots that broke out over a team losing. Of course that doesn't happen in US, since nobody plays that here <_<

Its a prison sir.

this reminds me, how sad the whole thread is.

Hell yes. I decided to make another characer, and was doing nolani academy. and this warrior had to kill ALL the char. He went charr hunting by himself, and when we told him its just a game, he laughed and said we must protect our homeland. and then left lol.

Anybody notice that some people are simply obsessive and take at least one thing VERY seriously that most others wouldn't?

Sports, music, camp, money, religion, politics, the search for extra terrestial life?

Some are more 'appropriate' than others to general society, but those of us not as deluded (although hardly free from illusion entirely) see that there isn't any real difference other than an opinion.

Don't tell me there aren't children and adults alike who live by their sport of choice. Especially if it's "Pro-Wrestling"! Gonna lay the smackdown on you if you disapprove!!!

Talk to my old marching band instructor from when I was in high school. THAT is obsession.

Pass on the camp thing, I was just grasping for straws.

Money, money, money, makes the world go round, ne? Some people believe this to be true so much that it's really their unsaid philosophy. They'd put the lives of other people behind the importance of $$$.

Religion... Not even going to start, lest honest observations break out into mass-flaming. Even a statement like this is going to make people fume, despite mentioning nothing at all really, under suspicion that it MIGHT be their religion I'm referring to. Which is the kind of thing I mean. But moreso, there're murderers, and the like who do so in the name of their religion currently, or have done so in the past. Some might call that going a bit overboard.

Politics... Yeah, gonna stick to my stance above. Say so much as one bad thing about a person's politician and you might be called "liberal" or "conservative" without a thought to the actuality, and the label said with scorn. (Such as a liberal calling a liberal 'conservative' for not agreeing with every little thing a liberal representative does, and likewise for a conservative.) Friendships and even marriages can break up over a difference in a simple political view. (As the 2+ people engage in slippery slope fallacies, it suddenly makes it seem like the fate of the world is at stake.) And yes, people kill for their political views too, when other methods would be effective.

The truth is out there... I will not rest, not flip another burger, not take another shower until I find proof of aliens!!!!!!!!!11111111shift+1

There's nothing unique or unusual about getting obsessed with a video game. Not if you objectively consider all the things other people are doing at the same time, really...
