Rude Players

[Shellyouare]

Today i met two extremly rude players who instead of having a simple convo decided to name call and ridicule me for being new to the game.

Orge Death Knight Named Draekkon
High Elf Cleric Ephus

I travelled from Qeynos to group in Faydark to gain exp and faction in that area.
Upon arriving i asked if i could join a group.
In Response they told me that there is a waiting list.
Mind you they are in a group of only two people.
That being said there was also no one in sight of the area who would be the 1st in Line.

when i told them i was confused as to why i could not join they proceeded with name calling, telling to get a life and move on. I was not in anyway rude to them at any point during this whole conversation.

It is hard for me to see the Play nice and treat people with respect aspect that this project 1999 is proclaiming on the surface. Is this something i have to expect from participating in this Project from hence forth.

I am brand new to this Eq title and i am just looking for a good gaming experience.

If anyone else runs into these two players please beware!

I am sharing this to not complain but in hopes of gaining a better understanding to this game and people who are playing.

The Elf Court is hereby convened and submission of evidence shall follow.

Also, this community has many special needs people and they should not be considered representative.

You will run into these types. It is best to try to join a guild for any questions/grouping to avoid the trolls.

i would like to ask how to sumbit in game as a log to show my conversation and their conversation so that this is transparent claim and inquiry.

should i just take multiple screenshots?

It sounds like they didn't violate rules, so there's no point in making any report to staff. Players are not obligated to invite each other to groups (though most of us do).

They were rude, so you could take screenshots and post them in R&F in order to Name And Shame them. Beware the Internet Tough Guys who will try to paint you as whiny or entitled or something like that.

But as for practical solutions, you can just go somewhere else. Norrath is vast. Also, not every play session results in noticeable progress. If you keep looking, you'll find places to play and people to play with. Personally, I have found meanies to be quite rare. Then again, I already know EQ pretty well. Good luck.

In <Castle>, we have a lot of reasonable and welcoming people. Our guild chat could probably answer a lot of your questions. You can give us a try.

so is this something that i have to accept and avoid through my gaming experience in EQ?

It's something you have to accept and avoid on the internet and all of life. How are you not aware of this? The world sucks and is full of literal idiots so you need to grow some thick skin. And yes, the P99 community has a large proportion of maladjusted, socially inept idiots.

So let me get this straight, you did not know how or what a waiting list meant. You saw 2 people and assumed they were lying to you about the group being full which you have zero proof of. Sure you saw 2 people, but that doesn't mean the group isn't full. You have zero proof there weren't people on the waiting list. A lot of times people don't sit within viewing distance of a group while on the waiting list, they go do something nearby or login an alt. Yet you name shame them here because they were snippy with you after badgering them why can't you join the group when they already told you why. FYI, most people I run into in this game are extremely helpful to new players and maybe these guys were asshats, but I am skeptical about that. I suggest not name shaming unless you know all the facts which you state yourself you did not know what "waiting list" meant exactly.

My god, it took you that much writing to say that??
