You seem like you're smart and funny, but also like you could be a HUGE prick and that looks down on everyone because you're really insecure and just want be good enough.

I also might be any/all/none of those things, but I've NEVER abandoned a pug, I waste hours helping strangers in this game I don't know, even when they're fucking hopeless.

Why? Because I want more people to play with who are as good as me. The only way that ever happens, is by offering to teach those who don't know. That's it. When you teach someone something in this game, it gets better for EVERYONE. When you're a prick, it gets worse for everyone.

I'd trade 10 nice newbs who are good to other people and willing to learn for 1 awesome-sauce player who is an asshole, EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK.



Yeah! What harharhar said...

I don't abandon anyone in the group either and I am glad to answer any questions they might have and teach as much as I can. Two years ago or something I put up a guide on main forums about every tips and tricks I could think of in almost every quest, and I also put up a lot of teaching runs in the past.

I have absolutely no problem with anyone hitting my lfms, good player or not.

It just gets weird when what I said in the OP happens.

Or they could just, you know, hit more of those lfms I put up everyday? Then chat a bit, maybe become friends the way normal people do? Instead of just being creepy stalkers.

You can't be serious. Or you could be and are over coddled, and very sheltered. In which case I blame your mother, specifically for breast feeding you until you were 6 years old. Or as she likes to say "He's only 72 months old."  Your dad, even if unsocial. didn't raise you to be that weak of a bitch to cry here for how hard it is for you to make frandz.

A real man's issues would be what is he going to eat for lunch? Tacos, or sushi today? IDK either :/

After you've had your fill of Vaul therapy sessions, you can help me decide what I want for lunch. Thxbff

A guess... people roll char, play a bit, don't know anyone, here you are as a  friendly (friendly = not yelling at them for playing badly), person who they see around and there is hardly any lfms up and no one they know.

Why not give them the starter channel details and suggest they join that? No skin off your nose. You don't have to be in there. I suspect it's going to get worse as the population shrinks and the only influx is new people trying out the game.

Sadly the only channel I know of has Tagyis in it. Kind of a terrible place to send a new player to. Also wtf, am I the only one that has a reply box like this since today? My eyes hurt.

Oh I had the info forever ago, but it was for endgame stuff only and at that time I was TRing non-stop. So one life I just didn't rejoin after losing it on TR and have since lost info.

No idea if there's still people in it.

There are usually 1-3 people in there. I few weeks ago I saw 6 at once! But usually when I'm in there, it's just me. Loulani and Dangered are in there, but they're also in defense so it's dead as hell in there. Plus they are in the euro zone so their playtimes are different than mine.

The fact that you care says you are not enough of a jerk.

hashtag a vaultfail on that one.

I'm with you. Appropriate social distance according to familiarity, not random /tells from one-time pug buds.

No, it is human nature that if someone is playing well that people will want to group with them in the future. If you acted like a noob, they would not request you join.

I get those all the time and just ignore them - except if I am in a dungeon than it is very annoying. If they can't take the time to notice I was in the middle of running something, then I will wait until their run seems to be mostly over and then ask to join and take quite awhile to get to their quest.

This, situation, happens at least once a week for me.

Put up LFM, people join, zerg through 2mil exp or whatever in a few hours. Done, log off, log on next day.

Random person you did not even know before that joined said group: "Hey are you running anything?", every day after that group.

So as always, I reply the usual after I get annoyed: "If I'm running anything, I will have a group up, if I don't, I'm soloing. Stop sending me random tells asking for that, I don't even know you".

And then the usual reaction is along the lines of "wow wtf, don't worry I won't ask again, jerk".

Do people somehow think you magically become their friends because you grouped with them once, when all they ever said in group was "what's next"? Or do they think I'm some kind of whore they can just call to get free and fast exp? Or are they just clingy fucks that get offended when I tell them they're annoying?

Or am I really a jerk?



yeah your a fuckwad get used to it you have another century to live with yourself.

I'd let em join and then go running the hardest shit I can come up with for them. ZERG ZERG right in the middle, and bring a tidal wave of red alert mobs to their breakfast table. Annoyance revenge - served with a twist of death
