As a Canadian - I have noticed a lot of lost social decorum lately - a prime example on my streets typically these clowns park a massive truck on both sides - completely opposite each other... leaving space for 1 vehicle to pass at a time. Well - being the polite Canuck that I am, I always defer to the oncoming person... and lately I've noticed a very sad trend of not even acknowledging I existed and did a nice thing for you. No wave. No flick of the lights. Just, I guess, an expectation that maybe I didn't even give them a foot rub... the royal highness's that they are.

It really doesn't surprise me in video games the same direction - it used to be you would be very polite and nice - back in the day. I think I can pinpoint the very second that anonymous ass-hattery started: the day they released global 5man instances. I'm serious. Think back in your gaming history. Before that point, people actually RELIED on their online persona, because once you black listed yourself there were no server transfers... no name changes... no one would group with you if you were an ass. That all changed the moment they introduced a more global cross server concepts. And since then, that has spread it's toxic seed to all online games. It's now become the "norm" to be a dick. If you are nice, you are often just someone to prey on.

Maybe with RPG games. I don't think this applies to games like counter strike, quake, unreal tournament... Can't speak for other genres.

Personally, I blame Money. And the parents. My generation of gamers had a responsibility to ensure that when we bred, we bred the best - a combination of pure skill and analytical ability, coupled with an attitude of friendliness and comraderie - a new generation that would take the world of gaming to a level hitherto unimagined by those of us that that began in the murky dreamscapes of Zork.

Unfortunately, we failed. The Drunken Jockocracy got on with the job of boning chicks or getting pregnant while we were off creating bits and sprites and polygons. They raised a generation of mindless cretins, who in turn spawned a generation of even more vapid and horrificly depressing louts. All the while we, the true inheritors of this great stage we call gaming, toiled away on making every more grand and interesting gaming experiences.

Now the two have melded. We have succeeded too well, we have created an industry that appeals to all - an industry that generates more revenue than Hollywood Movies, recreational sports, and (most shockingly) professional pornography. The cretins we once shunned and hid from in our darkened rooms have joined us in our new global lounge, enjoying the fruits of our labours and social ostracization, and they have brought their imbecilic children with them.

And why? It is because we tasted success. We could make cash, gain power, become shining beacons of glory within our created kingdoms. We became corporations, and publishers, and developers. We chased the wallets of the despised, invited them into our world, and now we must suffer the consequences for our shameful actions.

So next time, when you are gleefully mowed down by a camper in Titanfall who then informs you of the various anal antics he has conducted with your saintly mother - REMEMBER ... we are the ones to blame for this.

reason #481 auction house was ahead of its time...

An automated "Thank you for your purchase!" would be so awesome in an AH. Why hasn't anybody done that yet?

I often get the "user is not logged in" message when I say thank you after a trade.
Might be the case for other people too.

Yeah, and usually i trade/pm/leave so fast that i sometimes leave before i actually realise GGG just fucked my pm and i look like an asshole. Thx.

I've made it a habit to always say "Thank you brother" after every trade, no matter how difficult or annoying the trade was to complete.
