Treat others how you want to be treated. I'm not your mother. If you like people randomly leaving your groups by all means invite them again. I will pass. My goal here is to remind people that even though this is just a game, there are 4 other people depending on you to keep the group going, and a basic sense of communication goes a long ways. But as others have said ITT, decency is long gone for many.

Tank, the point you are missing here is that this passive aggressive rant on the forums is not going to bring about anything you are hoping for. Talk to these people in game, treat them as the "human being" you are asking them to treat you as. Do you not see how you are going against exactly what you preach? You are treating them as something less than your equal. If you act anything like this in game I am impressed that you have not experienced much worse.

Often times people truly do not understand and until someone is adult enough to convey these social norms to them...without telling them to go fuck themselves six ways from Sunday in the process. Chill, talk to them in game directly and with a tad bit more restraint. You may find this problem quickly disappears. If they do not, /ignore and the problem solves itself over time.

Oh ya, and the Treat others comment... Perhaps they are.

This thread got over 2,400 views so I disagree about it not having an effect. I'd say its much more effective than whispering each person randomly (who I may never see again) about courtesy while I am still in an Exp group. And if they don't "understand these social norms" they can group elsewhere. My /who all and friends list has plenty of other nice people I enjoy grouping with instead, and they don't need life lessons.

Ya, but me, you, Yonkec, and Spitty are 1000 of them. And the other 300 people original page views are mostly antagonized by you.

That's the nature of MMO forums, criticize anything and they attack OP instead. I knew this. Go look at WoW forums for 16,000 examples. I really don't care nor did I expect different treatment or a plethora of "omg I agree!" And I don't even know what your points were considering they were mostly quotes and cartoons, didn't bother reading either.

Anyways I'm repeating myself so my time here is done. "Time for me to head out"

Nice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but if that is the case, why make the thread?

Did you ever give your character name?

Attack OP.
Win thread.

If anyone disagrees with you for whatever reason on mmo message boards, they will try their best to make you feel like shit. It's especially bad on this board but also on league of legends and wow boards it's pretty similar. It's like a contest to show anyone you disagree with that they're a retard and you're superior.

In 90% of my posts, I was genuinely trying to be helpful. He said it is common knowledge, I posted an xkdc about not everyone having what most consider common knowledge and how it can be personally rewarding to enlighten them. I guess my enlightenment failed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He was afraid there was some connation re having a blacklist, I told him there was nothing wrong with it, more about criteria.

He was a little confused on the definition of blacklist, tried to tell him what he does constitutes a blacklsit...

Honestly the worst offender I've seen of this is the thread about signatures and avatars. I didn't specifically say you were doing anything wrong, there's no need to defend yourself. It just amazes me how great the project 1999 community is in game yet the boards don't reflect that.
