This game has a horrible community.
Within my first 15 mins ingame by just saying Hello I get responses from elitist jerks.

No thanks.


There is a guild sub-forum which houses some great beginners guilds, i would suggest you turn to them in order to have a pleasant first experience with PoE.

You can also like mentioned above, turn of all chat forms that you like or simply move to another channel.

Most people i know rarely visit global chats for example, there is simply no need once you got a bunch of friends to play with or a guild.

Similarly, don't let the actions of a few reflect poorly on the game and it's entire community, some people just enjoy fooling around with new-comers.I don't defend that, simply stating that "some" people like that, but not all.

Peace and enjoy your stay if you reconsider,

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes
Tough it out a bit and I'm sure you'll find some players that you can get along with/play together.
Welcome to Wraeclast, exile!

Boem beat me to it about the guild stuff. Link to forum
"We were going to monitor the situation but it was in the wrong aspect ratio."
The only way I see this as being likely to happen is if you do something like this:
"

Hey guys, this game sucks and you should all play diablo 3!


Otherwise, you must have gotten really really unlucky. It's a shame that the gambler's fallacy is a fallacy because otherwise it might increase your chance at getting exalt drops :P.
I am often extremely thankful that POE doesn't have voicechat :)

Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Best of luck in the future!

You hate singing kumbaya my lord or just stage fright?

I wish it did. Voice chat humanizes people. It's considerably harder to call someone a fucking retard over voice chat than it is over text (and doubly hard in person rather than just over voice chat).
It surprised me on starting the game that even the simple act of turning the weird spam on the left side of my screen wasn't simple to work out. I mean, sure, don't give us a detailed in-game tutorial because ?hardcore? but maybe a prompt to turn global/trade ON rather than have them automatically on and filling the screen with nonsense !

I want to believe that but my brief dalliances with CoD/BF/Halo and lately GTA Online hasn't made it easy.

Mind you, when you suck at games as badly as I do you do tend to get sworn at and insulted more.

Yeah the community has really went to shit since the days of early OB. A lot of people with just tell you to fuck off and google it.

They probably did exactly the same when they started playing.
You make my ochinchin go doki doki.

He has probably already left the game. Bye!
