Unfriendliness

Source: I am an unfriendly.

Yes because the guy sitting at your camp with LFG floating over his head for the last hour and buffing you, isn't an indication they want to group.

If anyone had a lick of courtesy, they'd /say thanks <--- for the buffs at which point you could strike up a conversation.

It sounds to me like the reality is that most players are incapable of being aware of their surroundings and simply do not notice.

Nonsense. It's usually inconvenient and often annoying for me to group with most other people most of the time, so I don't. But I get people randomly sending me tells every day asking questions about enchanters or commenting about videos I've done or something, and I don't ignore them or snap at them for interrupting my solitude. My friends list and guild are full of people who I talk to every time I log on. I routinely take a break from farming in the bottom of a dungeon to wander to a random leveling zone in the world to buff anyone and everyone there.

People like the OP and blonde and boma certainly bring out my unfriendly side though, with their attitude that it is selfish of me to do my own thing while ignoring how selfish it is of them to expect me to change my thing for their benefit just because the game allows us to both be online at the same time. Screw that and screw them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I had the LFG tag up and was ooc'ing that I was lfg. To do more than that would be pestering I think. Shall I just beg? It's a freaking MMO.. we're supposed to be in this thing together

I find it hard to believe you sent a tell to someone and got flat out ignored saying something like, "Hi there, lv xx xxxxx LFG. Do you guys have any space?" It doesn't hurt to ask. Most of the social aspect of the game happens when you actually get your foot in the door for a group... in group chat. Say gets ignored because people are concentrating on killing things.

That actually does happen.

Hehe, if I'm LFG on a level 38 I'll /who all cleric 34-42 and send a tell to everyone of them in an exp zone and ask them if they need a level 38 _________. If they say no, I ask that they keep me in mind.

Cos EQ is played by socially inept inbreds.......

tbh I find that even folk on my friends list can be moody; cant tell from one day to the next if they gonna be talkative/friendly.

ALso i find that some selfish twats, dont concentrate on eq while they are in a grp. I once kicked someone out of a grp, cos they were watching a video while grped. Thats just rude and selfish. Also can be irritating putting up with people who have family in RL....they poping afk every few mins to chk on this or stop Brat A murdering Brat X, bit more of a legit reason but its still annoying for the grp.
