Rules Decent Players should abide by...

[Thulghor]

Here's one for you.

A filthy rich guy and a poor downtrodden guy both walk along the same street. Both of them see a $100 bill on the sidewalk, and both happen to reach for it at the same time. Who should get the bill? Both made the effort of walking down the same street.

This game and the systems behind it allows a person to be greedy and awful. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. If you don't know where those boundaries lie, it's time to reevaluate your moral compass.

Thankfully, a lot of people here are pretty awesome.

I think you're forgetting we're talking about a fantasy elf simulator. Your grandiose notions of morality don't matter here. And no, behavior in this game is not an extension of behavior in real life

Check. We all now know which side of the line you are on.

Slayde, I dunno what imaginary world you're dreaming existed 20 years ago, but as someone who grew up in the '60s & '70s I can assure you that it didn't exist 20 years ago when I was in my 30s, nor did it exist 40 years ago when I was a teenager, nor has it existed ever as far as I can determine.

What exactly didn't exist back then? People being assholes? or people NOT being assholes? Either I am misinterpreting what you said, or you are misinterpreting what I said.

Is there any way to find the true owner of this 100$?

I think he thinks that you're implying that at some point there used to be a golden age of humanity, or perhaps an age of cooperation, that probably didn't exist. I don't know though.

I've already had my question answered, thanks.

In this instance, no, although good on you for considering that.

Reading over this thread has convinced me that this servers biggest problem are the nerds who take this game way too seriously.

If you are on the forums legit arguing about people's rights to pixels you need to take a fuckin break.

Come back when you want to play a game and have fun. EQ is a poor place to give your life meaning.

Ah, if that is the case then yes. Misinterpretation. There is no real golden age of anything. There was just a time when we recognized the difference. Thanks to multiple generations being raised on the internet that concept has gone the way of the dodo. People think that because it's the internet anything goes, and well, it does. The overlooked issue is the fact that actions, whether purposefully or not, are an extension of the psyche. The only reason people don't "troll" in real life is because of the consequences involved. It doesn't mean they are any less of an asshole on the inside. It takes a big one to get any enjoyment out of it.
