What's with this community?

I don't know if it's the server I'm on but jesus christ . . .

Almost everyone is dull, tense and serious. Any joke, light jab, you see next to no reaction from some of these players. It's just all down to serious business. And any slight hint of an insult and they get salty really fast. I sometimes wonder how you actually enjoy this game if everyone is like this?

If you want an example just yesterday there was a crafter (who fit all of the above descriptions btw), was over charging melds. So obviously a few people point this out, and next thing you know he tries to be "funny" by advertising free ilv70 hq crafts. Yea I guess it was funny for the first 20 minutes but he went on for at least an hour. Way to kill a slightly funny joke. And the way he said it... "im going hard until I fail". Kind of obvious hes salty.

I work with the very stereotypical middle age office people and I'm really sad to say they are more lively and interesting than half of the people I run into :|

It's not all bad, some do this. Others do this. In other words it may or may not be your server, or luck.

and what's the deal with airline food?

people in my fc are fairly fun, love to joke, if you change to ragnarok, hit me up

ps. hate the way people are trying to make this game into a second job, i play a game to have fun, not to allocate more work time in my life >.>

this is exactly why i avoided NA servers :P

For some people life is hard, they play a game to try and switch off. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. One person who seems salty one day might be fine the next.

Sometimes it is hard to slap on the fun face and keep it there even if what you are doing is supposed to be fun.

Welcome to the world of MMO.
Where different people, of different backgrounds/personality/tastes/<insertmorehere>/etc. meet.

I fell most the time Hyperion are full of smarta**es, I fit right in there.

This is a gradual change that has happened in all MMO communities, you can't get away from it no matter where you go. I attribute it to design changing from relying on each other to reach the end and the rise of solo content. Not that I don't like solo content, I like both designs, but solo content means people don't have to learn to play well with others to get to the end. In EQ1 and FFXI, you pretty much did.

I've never seen a srs bzns person on Behemoth.

I'm far from a serious person. I joke around a lot, make jabs at FC/LS mates and even myself.

Welcome to the internet.

Though crowd, though crowd...

Everybody except me is strange.

I'm always down for some monkey business in Leviathan.

Sargatanas is full of fun people. :D

There is no way all the ppl on your server are like that.... its just your bad luck i guess... you seem to be frequently running into them. But im pretty sure you will run into nice/bubbly peeps once in awhile just make sure you dont let the annoying ones get under your skin :) and like someone said in his previous post maybe they are nice ppl who had a bad day.

God, I know right?
I don't think it's a server thing though, I notice quite a few players like that everywhere.
Sometimes, I'd think half of the other people were bots if I didn't know any better.

Well I actually don't run into raging players much, they're a lot nicer than most communities I play with.. it's just the lighten up part that is kinda missing. Or maybe it's just that I come from a dota/lol community and that I just became oblivious to the not so nice ppl ionno <.<

While I have encountered a few bad apples on this game, such poor behavior has been around (and/or growing worse) for years in other online games (I'm sure it affects more than just MMOs and MOBAs are notorious for having volatile communities). And it kind of makes me sad. I'm most likely old school but when it comes to mean-spirited attitudes, I'd rather nothing be said at all.

There are some pretty nice folks out there. My second attempt at Stone Vigil was full of some some awesome peeps. The FC & LS that I'm a part of are filled with some awesome folks that I'm thankful for helping me progress as far as I have in the game's story. A fair number in said FC & LS I am acquainted with.

So good folks are out there. I just hope that they don't become the rare diamonds in the rough. I want them to be more common.
