Farewel (tired of elitism)
I hope that social features and moderation will come to the game sooner rather than later.... for these exact reasons.

I've seen very little of this sort of behavior in the actual hardcore league, but I expect this is partially due to the relatively low population - less trolls to /ignore, easier to answer newbie questions with more thought due to lower frequency. Also less ridicule over zomgdps (none? Haven't seen any, anyway), but that's due to the nature of the league.
I have wandered through insanity;
I have walked the spiral out. Heard its twisted dreamed inanity In a whisper, in a shout. In the babbling cacophony The refrains are all the same: "[permutations of humanity] are unworthy of the name!" | |
MMO betas sometimes get like this toward the end when the "vets" who have been playing for weeks are tired of every (larger) wave coming in and asking the same questions.
In regards to trade, some people will always rip others off if they find a way to do it. FFA loot sucks. Last edited by Die_Scream on Jan 29, 2012, 12:37:04 AM

You'll get this type of behavior in any online game. Anonymity makes most people act like dicks, nothing anyone can do about it. Just ignore them, I play with Global chat turned off.

" Yeah, omfgzlolz ... lol. Though, in all seriousness, this is what you'd expect with a free game. Its only going to get worse. Last edited by Nunnayo on Jan 29, 2012, 12:41:12 PM

I usually ignore global chat. Always get trolled at, when i ask a question :/ Usually ask my friend for help or search at forums, when i do need.

For this reason i play solo in most online games unless i have friends who play it too. I rather miss out on content that needs to be done with groups than group up with horrible big mouthed kids and do it.
I have been playing beta for a few days only and i havent seen much of this yet..thankfully. Turn off the global chat thing and /ignore.. find and play with the nice people, cus there are many of those too :) | |
" It will only get worse, it's a shame because this game has a whole lot of potential. F2P kiddies will probably end up playing this game, while the rest of us will be happily paying our sub fee to Blizzard for Diablo 3. | |
I try to help where I can, but the sad truth is that if you try to answer every question, you rarely ever get any actual playing in.
Lately, I end up directing people to the forums more often than not. It may sound rude, but it's the most comprehensive source of information we have for the moment. I try to stop and answer questions on material that is difficult to find (at least anything that I'm fairly certain on), when I can. But with the game gaining new members at such a furious pace, even that can be tough sometimes. As frustrating as it is learning to play in such a complicated game, you have to realize that it's also very frustrating to answer questions that literally get repeated every few minutes. I think (and hope) that this frustration is the source of a lot of this trolling and general unhelpfulness. It's a pattern that is very easy to fall into. If you want to change the community, don't leave, and don't fall into the same pattern. Urist McDwarfy has been happy lately. He admired an exceptional ARPG recently. He took joy in slaughter lately. He has been attacked by the dead recently.
