Your entire psychological drive can be summed up to the desire to not be forgotten. Not forgotten. . in the most baseless of ways, 'misbehaving' and shock. Your stubbornness to to resist the most base PvE activities (which sucking is the norm ironically) is simply that, you wish to be different. Your rebellion is your cause, only to rebel, to rebel, to be different. Not even the goal of self betterment, or to RISE FROM INADEQUACY. . .
You seek to return to it.
Where to be great would actually be the more uncommon practice. Then once you conquered this hurdle could carve your name out in more 'interesting ways.'
'Well behaved women rarely make history.'
Well that may be true, but an attention whore is an attention whore regardless of their sex. I even think it might be worse for a woman to go the 'culture shock' route, and is perhaps doubly as pathetic as a man doing so: They have a perfect blueprint to overcome and to not follow.
As they watch their male brethren make fools of themselves and reduce their standing as human beings to nothing but mindless animals forgoing their gift of higher sentience.
It is not born from a desire to impart a noble ideal of individuality, or forge a path for the downtrodden fashionistas forced to bear the same gear, their inner creativity stifled by the elitist dogs.
You don't wish to be forgotten, but don't you lovey dovey types usually find solace in your loved ones or something? Your friends and comrades, those intangible delights that 'elitists' can't care about?
And from those tops assault people with a maelstrom of insurmountable irrationality that cannot be braved by even the most stalwart of tacticians? Because one quickly realizes that climbing a mountain made of pudding and sunshine is impossible.
However I must say that even though I harbor intangibles closely to my heart, I like to back them up with fact. And only when they are surrounded by a fortress of reason, am I satisfied with their existence.
And only when it is assault constantly and stands resolute, can I be even 1% certain that I could perhaps be right.
I think part of the problem is we have a mixture of people from alla, ffxiah, and bg. Those three places have very different posting styles... it may take some time for us to develop a style for the official forums.
Lol I post on xiah and read bg... I avoid alla because it seems to often be full of bad info. It seemed to me that alla was a bit more friendly and accepting of strange ideas and casual players with this kind of bizarre subculture for forum ratings whereas bg is much more about math and neat things you can do in game and xiah is just a post whatever you feel like kind of place.
I agree, I'm getting sick of people that start off with name calling as if that makes a point. I also wish some people wouldn't flip out over nothing and start using CAPS and rant like I've seen happen.Stop Player Bashing
It reminds me of old threads on fan sites where one thread has an ok but not spectacular build being criticized by a player with the best of the best, and then later some player using absolute crap or half naked gets given some advice then rants for hours about "the elitists" because he thinks its the same thing.
And if my above text has somehow offended or insulted anyones intelligence in ways I can't comprehend, there is this handy ignore feature; you can use that and never see my text again and then we can't possibly bother each other.
For people who have seriously crossed the line, there is a report feature. It's that small triangle with an exclamation point at the bottom left of each post.
