Online Bullying - A Dev request for a response and discussion

OP, I really don't understand your post. Performance is the only thing that can be assessed via Duty Finder. There is no way for people on duty finder to find out your real life race, gender, sexuality, etc. Now if you are being attacked by all or most Duty Finder players, then there must be something wrong with your performance.

When one person says something, they might be wrong. When two persons say the same thing, they might be part of the same group. But, when everyone is telling you something, there is something wrong with you.

(I will be honest, I only read the first post, so I'm only replying to the first post)

Please grow up, it is bad enough that the US military's Special Forces has to deal with and re-educate babies who have been told all their life that we don't have to keep score and everyone can win. Please stop bringing this to my fantasy game. When you say "bully," all i can think of is that you have very poor confidence and thin skin. If someone is being a total jerk, without reason, just kick them from party, or leave the DF yourself.

I use the word 'Bully' to create a topic for conversation so it's easy and quick to understand the discussion. Call them what you want.

My point sir, is that not everyone is a tough nut, not everyone can just deal with it. Furthermore, the military and and MMO are entirely different things, I don't see the point in you bringing that to the table.

This is a game. People, especially when there are kids about, should not be subject to abuse, end of.

I don't think you read the whole thread. The screenshot he posted in page 2 is what he is referring to.

Honestly, at any point you can walk away. Yes, it is not right that people use race, gender, and religious background to harass people, but still... Just walk away. Quit the raid/dungeon. The other option is to just move on and ignore them.

Being an individual who has faced much racism in his life, nothing changes by putting up the "good fight" in a video game. It is a video game. If we were talking about your work place, then it would be a different situation.

As far as criminal charges... The first amendment states that they can say whatever they want, whenever they want, as long as they do not perform physical harm against you. No criminal charges would be brought against them.

Not in the UK mate. Say the wrong thing on twitter, Facebook, wherever, it could be your ass in front of a judge.

People are so pantywaisted this day. Honestly, why let what some random person says bother you? They have no relevance to your existence, nor you to theirs.

And since there's this stupid character limit. The reason i had to 1 heal the 3rd boss was because the tank was such a jerk that the second tank and second healer both left.

3.3 Profanity and Offensive Language. You may not use profanity or any language that a reasonable person would find offensive. The Game is for players aged 13 and older. You agree to behave accordingly.

That User Agreement nobody reads states that doing just what this thread brings up is against the rules. Stop defending people doing this crap by saying "grow thicker skin." This is a violation of the rules and should be treated as such. As paying customers to this game, nobody should be spoken to in such a way.

To anybody who has this stuff happen to them. Report the player and don't bring attention to it. Let them continue to do so and get banned.

It's the dude-bro way. Justifying douchebaggery in the name of freedom is a way of life for these losers.
