I've noticed this mentality on P99, and it's one of the reasons I'm so vocal. Like people are so scared to call toxic players out because they're afraid of being attacked for it. I remember EverQuest 20 years ago where players enforced and regulated server rules and etiquette, and it's a large part of what made EverQuest amazing (your reputation actually mattered a lot compared to modern MMOs). Now we have PNP, toxic players, and zerg guilds that have made a lot of that irrelevant unfortunately.

Additionally a lot of these nerds have this mentality that if you aren't a complete push-over then you're obviously an asshole or jerk. These nerds have no idea that part of being a genuinely nice person is standing up for what you believe in and standing your ground and not being a passive-aggressive little bitch who whines in /tells while pretending to like the people who treat them like garbage 24/7.

Calls everyone else a whiney little bitch while posting multiple whining threads, and acts tough by flaming multiple other people and naming them but won’t name who he is on Green (despite claiming everyone on the server likes him)

The only screenshot I saw was an obvious joke from my perspective. GM sent them to relieve you? That's a pretty good one imho.

Obligatory try red. There are really cool people here who don't take the game as seriously.
