Posters on "JOB lv. 1" characters trolling

[Lafaiel]

he is just trolling us all i bet when it comes down to it just look how many replies just to argue and crap talk back LOL

so it shows that you don't need a mule to troll behind we can all do it at any job any level LOL

I reserve the right to hold my anonimity and i REFUSE TO FEED THE TROLL anymore on this thread so going to stop replying and let it die so u you dont get the oh lookie how many replies i got trolled em all XD

If he is trolling the fact that he posts on his main has given him the credibility to pull it off pretty well, and I approve of this, it seperates him from the poser trolls who don't even possess the faculties to make an intelligent or thought provoking post.

They hide behind level 1 alts because they know that they ARE going to post something stupid and get laughed at, not IF, they know they are not smart enough to support thier arguments so they hide.

I figured Nynja was trolling on page 2 but I don't mind troll posts as long as they aren't just retarded messes, they are more intresting than a lot of the crap we get here. These start to turn into trolls trolling trolls or trolls leaping on the chance to troll people agreeing with the troll that made the post, but that's why these topics are fun anyway >_>

If you post something stupid and you have a linked account, you still posted something stupid...hell some of the most mocked people on this forum had linked accounts..Hordcore and Rosina? Having all jobs at 99, a bunch of relics and every emp does not wipe away the fact you write like a chimp or post garbage. Linking has zero to do with the quality or the integrity of your posts on a forum interacting with people you will probably never meet ingame or anywhere else.

Now if an anon poster wrote a "guide to being a great drk" and brought up lots of stuff about them being the best player, maxed out char, all the best gear etc and giving advice arguing with others you could ask for them to prove it! but for most anon posters here they post nothing of the sort.

this. Ur 99 and still no credibility, and a 99 person can post something just as stupid. If u dont like someones on a board, ignore list, sup.

ppl just want something to be mad about, in which case, theres plenty going on in the world and game to be emo about.

[Nynja]

People with something to hide usually have shady intentions...thats all, and the ridiculously dumb excuses of "im gonna get hacked" sums it up.

No, they don't, and complaining about lv1 posters is a legitimate complaint. And you're one of them- like everyone said, it tells people you have something to hide, and the excuses that are given are nonsense.

There's obviously a few people here who don't like me, but nobody's come after me in game or tried to hack me- what in the seven hells are you so afraid of?

[Lafaiel]

I'll agree with the fact that a level 99 or a level 1 atl can both post garbage, but when you post on your main you're putting yourself out there for the world to see, and it shows conviction, it shows that they stand behind what they post, be it good or bad, and I respect that.

I only came back to the game recently, so this is my first go round reading these forums so I though I would check them out, allakhazam is just a much better moderated forum so I hang out there more.

As for hordecore, I've seen a few of his posts, and he does not hide the fact that he is a troll, as annoying as he is, at least he does not hide it.

[Babekeke]

The only legit excuse for using a lvl 1 mule account that I can imagine is that you want to come on here and talk freely about all the hax/gilbuying/selling etc. that you do with no fear of losing your real account. Since I haven't seen anyone use this excuse, I'm bewildered.

Probably just people with ADHD or something that thrive on attention.

And everyone has something to hide. I, for example, will not tell you my real name. Must mean I have shady intentions, correct? Must mean I want to be able to post all sorts of troll BS on these forums without it ever getting linked back to me in real life. Or maybe I'm taking a perfectly reasonable safety precaution by exposing no more of myself than I absolutely must.

It's not because I intend to be an ass, though to be perfectly honest, everyone makes an ass of themselves sooner or later. Human nature just gotta kick in every once in a while.

But no, seeking anonymity on the internet is perfectly acceptable. The people who ask you to DROP your anonymity are the ones who you REALLY want to be careful of on the internet.

[Nynja]

No one asked for your real name, nor your address, your social insurance number, your CC number...? Holy shit, just how long is that straw you're grasping at?

[Yinnyth]

No, they didn't. You're simply demanding the ingame name and server of everyone on these forums. You're demanding more personal information out of them than is required by the system. And it is my opinion that on the internet, someone who demands personal information is more shady than someone who attempts to hide it.

What's the worst a completely anonymous person could do on these forums? Trolling until the entire community simply learns to ignore them? Now what's the worst a person could do to you if they know your character? Trolling you ingame until they get blacklisted, then filling your dbox with copper ore, then shouting in jeuno about what a newb you are, in addition to trolling you on the forums until the entire community simply learns to ignore them. You denounce these negative behaviors yet claim the solution is to allow these negative behaviors to spread from this medium into other mediums.

And why? So you have a 0.00001% chance of denying one newb who doesn't believe in gear swaps access to your VW group? Speaking of very long straws... But at least you're not trying to cite "it's what the forum mods want" while simultaneously partaking of actions CLEARLY condemned by the forum guidelines such as posting material of an obscene nature (such as profanity). Oh wait.

Then why require account linking? for lulz?

Holy shit,

I don't blame you for being a hypocrite. It wouldn't be hard to find a mashup of quotes from me which seem at odds with one another given the right context. Hypocracy is part of human nature. I DO however blame you for being unable to find a truly compelling reason to force the same lack of privacy you have on these forums onto everyone else. Privacy on the internet is something which can never be fully regained once it's lost, and I respect people's rights to hoard as much of it as they can.

Yes, that does mean they can troll with fewer repercussions. No, it doesn't mean they intend to troll. But keep in mind anything THEY do on these forums, YOU can do, and that should be the full extent of the vigilante justice that players can bring down upon one another from these forums. Just as my failures and successes in RL shouldn't follow me into the game, my failures and successes on internet forums shouldn't follow me into the game.
