Tell me why Red sucks

[coldslaw]

When the PVP general forum is more toxic than the Blue RnF, you're not really enticing people to give it a try.

Not to mention the red recruitment posts in almost every single thread which is annoying and a turn-off to wanting to associate more with individuals like that.

From a newer players perspective, red server a) appears toxic as fuck b) seems to ahve a declining population. Whats the point of investing time there?

Because when you see toxic you wanna toxic while you toxic just because toxic is only toxic for the toxic toxicisistiy

Actually now that you mention it, the idea of Red is like viewing the dating profile of an attractive single mother.

Yeah sure it sounds fun, more experience, first few levels are protected, your gear is protected.

But at the end of the day you lose all your money.

You wanted to know the reasons, here are the reasons.

Basically, the people who are most visible on Red are the kind of people you wouldn't interact with on Blue. You want a server like that, that's fine. But that doesn't entice people who aren't also assholes. Blue has its assholes too, but the general norm on Blue is that it's bad to be an asshole. On Red the norm is that being an asshole is A-OK. Or even preferable.

You could do a lot of things to turn this back. It's possible to achieve new norms. I don't think enough of you really want to do that though. It would require a concerted effort against your worst elements and I don't think most of Red would think that's fun.
