YooYooMa Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Are you telling me NO ONE has ever complained when a golf course wasn't up to their standards? Golf has much higher standards than MMO's. If a Golf Course isn't up to par it won't survive. Rampant drone fanboyism doesn't exist like it does here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalprobe Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You're not a "vet" of anything. Stop thinking you are, stop wishing you were, get off your chair and do something in real life. I've been playing MMOs since I was in grade 9 and started with Ragnarok Online. My favorite MMO by far was Final Fantasy XI. However, as time went on and I got older, I found that real life priorities needed to take over this includes: #1. Getting laid. #2. Riding (motorcycle) #3. 40 hour per week projects #4. Exams #5. Reunions with family member #6. Getting drunk #7. Separating myself from other software developers by getting jacked at the gym (pix to prove, don't make me link Facebook) 2 of those are not optional and they take the absolute most time out of everything else. Due to this, I realized that I could no longer dump in 8 hours a day into my favourite MMO sometime around 6-8 years ago (forgot). World of Warcraft revolutionized the MMO scene to allow people like me, who once loved MMOs but now do not have the time to invest in them to make decent progression, to invest a small amount of time, and progress. It has even gotten better with the raid finder. There is a small % of people out there who either have retired early due to amazing financial decisions, or family inheritance. From my life science studies, this % of people in the Canadian or American world is VERY tiny. I forgot the exact %. Chances are, YOU are not one of them, and YOU are not vet. Statistics would favour you with the definition of a failure. The ones that never reached the "American dream". Stop using the word vet. You didn't fight in any battles, you didn't save the world, and above all, you weren't in World War II. Thanks. would you like a link to an online dictionary? or can you do that all by yourself now?

AlikaDarkWind Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 While I enjoy chatting with the other people within my groups, I certainly don't want to wait fifteen minutes before every single pull. That's an unnecessary amount of time. Obviously, if someone doesn't know or understand something, take a few minutes to explain, but your expectations are a bit... much. Unless your entire post is sarcasm, in which case, disregard my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixStar Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Would you also like to know if I like long walks on the beach? Honestly i'm as friendly as they come but you don't get to know my personal information. That is reserved for my friends. Maybe you should look outside of a video game for deep personal connections with people and finding mates. And if the group is ready to rock and your just sitting there talking about your sick family members and dragging our emotions down while we are trying to have FUN i'll bounce. I also realize the OP is probably Trolling. The OP is trolling but a lot of people are agreeing with him which is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eysaathe Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I thought the whole point of PUGging flashpoints and heroic quests was to make deep, lasting friendships and maybe even find a wife. But I guess everyone is so used to WoW and LFD that they don't want to socialize with a bunch of random people during a flashpoint anymore. I wish I could go back to the past I remember when everyone was sociable and courteous and cared about each other's feelings before LFD ruined the community. That made me laugh so hard.

BluePlatypus Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Are you telling me NO ONE has ever complained when a golf course wasn't up to their standards? I'm sure they have, but that's outside of the scope and context of this thread. I've never seen someone yell "TEE OFF TEE OFF TEE OFF TEE OFF OMG HURRY". Instead it's a smile, a nod, and someone usually says "play through, we are gonna be a sec". But I see people yell "PULL, PULL, PULL, PULL, OMG GO, PULL" in video games. My point was that your $15 isnt an excuse to be a dbag to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonal Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Sadly this is true. Which is why I'm in a guild full of like-minded people and the bulk of my socialising is done in-guild. I'm afraid this is what's going to happen to all MMOs. I play these games to socialize with like minded people, but haven't found too many so far. Still looking for a guild of mature adults to play this game with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baizak Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I am so sad about all this rudeness and impatience in SW:TOR! After I accept a /1 LFG spam to tank a flashpoint, I, like most social people, like to reserve 10-15 minutes before the first pull to learn more about everyone in the group and see how they are doing. I simply do not feel comfortable tanking unless I know everyone's name, A/S/L and their basic likes and dislikes. I also like to share my troubles with them and see if anyone else is having troubles too. My dog has serious behavioral problems and my mom's health is getting a lot worse, and these things weigh on my mind a lot. The weird thing is... I feel like I'm being very friendly, but people are always cruel to me and impatient. They're all like GO GO GO *** ARE YOU DOING TANK and they quit the group! I thought the whole point of PUGging flashpoints and heroic quests was to make deep, lasting friendships and maybe even find a wife. But I guess everyone is so used to WoW and LFD that they don't want to socialize with a bunch of random people during a flashpoint anymore. I wish I could go back to the past I remember when everyone was sociable and courteous and cared about each other's feelings before LFD ruined the community. Saying hello is one thing, but taking 15 mins before you start the run to get to know each other? Seriously? This is not match.com! Maybe find a wife and lasting friendships...WTH? That is what guilds are for, though it would be the creepiest guild ever if it was formed to be a dating service to find prospective wives. You are aware that most of those female toons are really dudes right? I don't mean any harm, but you are doing it wrong. Say hi, make sure everybody is ready, then pull. That's it. Feel free to chat and wise crack along the way, but not at the expense of using up somebodies free time to satisfy your own lack of a social life.

Redat Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have to agree with the OP, Im a SWG 5 yr vet and I can honestley say I have never met such an ignorant, selfish bunch of ******* in my time gaming. I really do like SWTOR, but my biggest need has yet to be met, a decent community. I hope it will change in time, because thats what its about for me, ok a decent game is good, but a community makes a good game shine. Just as an example, I was chatting to someone in general about SWG, we used to run on the same server etc and the whining from some wow kiddies was amazing, what, dont people actually communicate any more?

Yfelsung Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 LOL @ the people genuinely agreeing or arguing with this SUBTLE HINT: The OP was dripping with sarcasm While dripping with sarcasm, his point was half right. Knowing people's ASL before tanking, silly. Knowing someone's name, not so silly. Having a conversation while grouping, again, not so silly. Being social in an MMO: sort of the point of an MMO.

Vydor_HC Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah, I am not a fan of the lobby based MMO playstyle made popular by Blizzard. Sadly they introduced a lot of people to the genre that have influenced developers to cater to that model and have done great harm.....rudeness and immaturity in general chat is a fine display of such behavior.

Basicly because people have become unsocialised at the end of TBC and start in WOtlk basicly they are used to enter and exit any group encounter without having to take any form of consequence of theire actions.

Dire-Wolf Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This thread is great. You've got people replying who didn't read the OP, didn't understand the OPs sarcasm or did understand and are replying with their own sarcasm. You've then got people replying to those replies with their own sarcasm or in a few cases seriousness. The whole thing is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
