![]() ![]() So you are just so bored and seeking attention from someone giving you a "hi" back? But as any MMORPG, you encounter all kinds of ppl. I usually thought why are ppl so rude when you hi back at them and nothing. I don't mind discussuing game related mechanics or,etc but I'm not here to chit chat just randomly.Īlso tend to alt tab out of the game often so even if someone talks to me theres a high chance that I won't notice. I'm generally a quiet/silent person both ingame and irl and I really don't feel the need to have small talk with random ppls. This,if someone just totally randomly says Hi to me I kinda expect that they did that for a reason and wants something,if I say Hi back and the conversation ends there I'm not gonna ask further what you want,after all its you who started it.īut yea I'm also one of those ppls who doesn't talk much ingame,if any. I remember when I first started and I got to lvl 20, joined a cross-server dungeon for Blackram Narrows and because I never understood the bidding system, I put a bid on a soulshield then carried on walking through the instance portal, not knowing it trashed the item since I was the highest bidder, and got called a "c**t" and everything, even though I explained that I'm new and didn't know any better. Oh definitely that too, how could I miss out the toxicity of the community.Įven in any competitive scene like PvP/Arena, you'll see them throwing insults at each other but it'll always be the same words, like "Autism" "Retard" "Cancer" "Kill yourself" etc etc. Every man for him/herself, and the rest of you. These types of things, started with WoW, and has resulted in MMORPG communities essentially resembling RL. Instead of offering obvious newbies welcome advice, they're treated like pariahs and outcasts. Players walk right passed other players in dire straits, obviously near death. Just as you near your target, after clearing the way some asshat comes along and steals it from under you. No what bothers me, is the sheer amount of douchebaggery that's to be found in MMO's, especially this one.įor example, you're methodically clearing your way to an objective, be it mob or collectible. Seeing as I've been playing them since EQ it's odd, but whatevs, I can adapt. I've accepted that no one communicates in MMORPG's nowadays. Out of every big online game that I've played over the decade, non has been more anti-social than this. I don't care if they're taking in faction chat. I don't care if they're talking in clan chat. Other than players being so busy in cross-server, where whispers are forbidden (how pathetic) or they're AFK, or just simply anti-social for whatever reason, whatever - everyone has their reasons but "What's up people?!" just to see who reacted, and this was near the vault in Mushin's Tower around 20+ players and not one of them responded, in fact, most of them ran away xD So my next one was saying random things in /say, like. Those who replied to the compliment would say "ty" and that was it. I'd go around populated areas in-game, like Mushin's Tower, and randomly whisper players with a simple "Hi" or "Your outfit is awesome!" and I have to say, over 90% of them wouldn't reply and those who did reply, said a simple "hi" back and that was it. ![]() I did a social experiment for a week. Every few hours a day. ![]() In a populated place like Mushin's Tower, you could stand around 50+ other players and non of them will say a word, as they stand there doing their cycled idling poses, almost as if their characters are all looking away from each other, quietly existing in the pixellated void. ![]()
