Just not the same...

LOL... I literally have to laugh out loud reading some of these posts. The guys who were encouraging, understanding, and trying to help, you're what makes this game fun. The guys that attacked me because of this, you're the problem. Yes I compared not getting invited to a group with a baby drowning, because certain things are considered normal behavior.

I played basketball for years and the rule at the court (almost every court I've been to) is that you could play the game if there was a spot open, in fact if they were down a man, they were happy to have you. If both teams are full, then no, obviously you can't play. I've never been turned away for being too tall or too short. We turned one guy away because he fouled like crazy, but that's it.

Being decent shouldn't be optional to most people, it should be natural. Early on people didn't hide their sociopathology behind a computer screen. In EQ and UO, there were way more decent people than asses, these days the asses are everywhere. They really do effect the quality of the game.

On a high note, I did finally get in a group and the experience was slow, but it was fun and I finally dinged 24. I don't sit on my ass, I buff the tank with a fire shield and nuke when the mobs at 50%. I saved my group twice using my pet to tank adds, so it's not that I don't know how to play (or the other casters in my group the other night don't) it's just some people care more about themselves than their fellow man.

My joking is terrible at best.

Anyway, just push off the petty stuff people throw your way in game. It's extremely fun. Last effort is /ignore if you need it.

Funny about people PLing and such. There are a couple idiots/children in game who I've /ignored and every now and then I will remind myself who is on that short list then do a /who all. I never see them on. It's a person who started an alt, decided to be a bitch and not play their alt anymore. And, that works for me.
