Why do ppl have to be so mean all the time? I had a guy the other day tell me "If you are a THF and don't equip for TH 100% of the time then GTFO". Why not just say can you please keep your TH equiped durring this party even though it is not a factor and will not help with what we are doing? I just don't understand why ppl have to be Jerks all the time. Are there any nice ppl left out there?
There's a social nice and a moral nice.
Most people on the internet have too many different social codes to bother with being their version of "nice."
I have to admit after playing FFXI for around 9 something years (ish) my
online social and moral codes have slipped down the shitter.
Too many *** and if you waste your time being nice and "playing by everyone else's book" you are
wasting your time.
I've found it much easier to have my own codes that I follow and I don't bother to question other peoples. I say what I want to say or do what I want to do trying to keep other peoples feeling and my own in mind. And if a *** throws a lemon at me I occassionally put that juice in a squirt gun and put it back in their eye.
Noone wins, but at least they think twice before *** up my day.
It's a shame I've had to go on a system like that but greed gets the best of us and this "taking turns" system doesn't exist on the internet.
Look up a tale called the Ring of Gyges. Simply Amazing.
