People like Loraen think there are only two kinds of people that play on this server, and it seems a lot of people share his sentiment. The good and the bad, the black and the white, casual and harcore, whatever stupid labels you wish to put on it. The reality is that there are thousands of shades of grey, and there's one for every single person that logs on. People seem to expect others just kowtow to their set of arbitrary unspoken rules without question everytime another person comes around. And when people don't agree with their unspoken expectations, man, get those pitchforks and banhammers ready for those unemployed basement dwelling sociopaths. If you don't give me what I want, you've got the mind of an immature teenager rebelling against his parents. Yeah, you can keep that "maturity" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The real thing I find immature is that people can't handle disappointment in the 14 year old elf simulator, especially this one. But that's how it is and always will be; the ones who can just say "Gee whiz, I guess I'll have learn and do better next time" and move on right then and there. Those people don't come to the forums with a wall of text of how sad they are over the mean man who didn't give them what they wanted when they wanted because they said so. It happens on every level, from Pyzjn to Phinni to Phara Dar. Some will come screaming for blood, wanting accounts banned, guilds disbanded, banks wiped, characters deleveled, you fuckin' name it just so they don't have to suffer the absolute injustice of not getting what they feel you should be giving them. And you know what, I feel for OP. I really do, I've been there; everyone has. Anyone who tells you they've never lost to someone better, faster, or just plain luckier on this server is absolutely full of shit or they haven't stepped out of their newb zone for longer than 5 minutes. It's part of the game as it stands, classic or unclassic, better or worse. I learned a long time ago that you win some and lose some and there is always tomorrow; and in the case of Ragefire, that is literally the case. But that's the way it is in both life and apparently online video games as well. Everyone thinks they got it figured out, that their set of unspoken rules are somehow worth more than everyone else's. You can justify it any way you want, but in the end it's all it is; bullshit justifications. For example, people like to point out it's for a MAIN as opposed to someone's bank account. I don't really feel your, or my, pixels are more more deserving. Doesn't matter if it's for my bank account, my 10th alt, or your first and only character. I only deserve what I put into the character, I don't try and conjure up some bullshit reasons why my pixels are oh so more important than yours. I don't feel there isn't really anything to understand more then that, you feel one way and I feel another. Main vs alts, nb4g, whatever. You all can cut up my post and respond meticulously how wrong I am, that you're right and that's all there is to it. But none of that even really matters in the end. It doesn't matter how many corpses you drag out of places, how far you go out of your way to res someone, how many items you hand out in EC, how much you help your fellow player. There are always going to be people arbitrarily shunning you for breaking their own made up rules and niceties no matter what you do. So I don't understand how this is so hard to grasp; You don't care about others judging you for what you are doing you feel is right or fair, in the exact same sense your judgements roll off my back, and the ones I pass on to others so on and so forth. All the way up and down the entire expanse of opinions of the entire playerbase. TL[You must be logged in to view images.

We're all a bunch of self righteous fucksticks to some degree who really have no room to talk about who deserves what in the end. | |||
