Ahhhh hottygurl !
ROFL yeah she/he was funny.. I have just recently sold all my tiger and lately I am having a blast running round in noobie armor.. Very challenging and fun to see what I can now take down in it.
Anyway *there I was splendid in my pixie suit* plus acid plates happily potshooting some snables, making a profit, and this Hottygurl comes along, stops, watches me for abit, then proceeds to killsteal everything I initially shoot at first with my opalo.. grrr
I didnt get too upset though .. just typed LOL a few times then offered to take this into the ring.. She soon cleared off when I told her my stats and my health level.
I am simply a low mid end player .. shes/hes just a lower mid end player bored and looking to make themselves feel bigger by picking on "newbies"
She/he and others of this calibre are simply annoying or mildly amusing in a 'huh what an idiot' kind of way to us however I can see how this would put off a new player.
The newbies to this game ARE THE NEWBLOOD.
They are a large part of the future of EU.
ANY of you ubers or higher level players who dont take the time to check back in on how the universe is developing for newcomers arent very wise and not protecting their own investment and the future of EU.
Thats where i see an issue. And I am happy to see sweetthang bring this to peoples attention..
Of course EU is tough and challenging and we will always have assholes in the game.
Oh and sorry to single you out tigerman, try not to take it personally ( yes i know its hard as apparently this virtual world revolves around what you say )
but your tone of reply really does sum up alot of the longer term players attitude.
This isnt an issue of newbies hogging "your" mob, she/he does purposely go out of his/her way to be an asshole. That simple !
Maybe do what I am doing or what sweetthang does and go back a peg or two ( ok ok in your case 1000 pegs) and just see it again through a newbies eyes. Run round in pixie for abit and see how many people try to walk over you .. its actually kinda fun and it cheap too.
The bold part you really coulda just skipped if you really didnt look to provoke/offend people.. However, PE DOES evolve around me and my avatar for all I care (isnt my well being what i should consider before others well being? If im disfunctional i cant help others, right?)
Now, as I said in my previous post, there will be bad people and there will be good people, thats the way mankind works. This does OBVIOUSLY apply to n00bs just as ubers and there WILL be more bad n00bs than bad ubers, simply because there is a lot more n00bs overall.
I also said that IF someone come waltzing into my path and start sweating atrox and hogging the spawn, Ill kill the trox. Yeah I WILL do that if the spawns being hindered.
Yeah, I have also brought trox down to camp phoenix, mainly on request by the sweaters that have requested if "someone can go get something bigger than the snablesnot that dry up so fast". Some who hadnt had the privilege of seing an atrox before screamed and died, the ones that saw what was about to happen laughed and the ones that got tired just pulled the aggro and had it killed by the turret...
However, I never said wether or not what happened in this incident was right or wrong, atleast I didnt intend to. If you interpreted my original post as a "haha, suits you right" then you misinterpreted it or i could have worded it better.
I said they probably had their reason for bringing down big mobs. However, what that reason might be I dont know. There could be n00bs that "deserved it" (bad n00bs) down there for example. Sadly a trox kinda eat everyone and not only the one you want to be eaten.. There could be a personal dispute between sweethang and hottygurl, who knows?
I have never said we dont need n00bs, I have never said being a n00b is a bad thing. What I DO however feel is that n00bs that dont deposit and complain about PE is too expencive, were better off without and they are better off without PE. Fact is that PE aint for everyone and thats just the way it is and always will be.
Also a n00b that dont deposit and complain about everything taking so damn long and running around begging we can very well be without. ESPECIALLY the ones requesting trades and chats without even asking if they can request a chat or a trade and dont take the "no" answer on the invite as just that, a no, and keep hammering you.
Being a n00b is no more an excuse for being rude/disrespectfull/annoying than bein an uber is
