The Solo disease?

[Bled]

I wasn't doing a sob story, Just trying to get people to understand me better. Alot of people have misguides stances on What ADD actually is, nor truely understand how a pain it is to deal with. Why should I get mistreated for something I can't exactly control?

Admin's have all ready talk to multiple people about this "trying to get people to understand my problem" and they stated, do not share personal information of this nature..

I suggest dropping the explaining your ADD posts, lest you be visited by the Admin Fairy.

Then people should stop misinterpreting my post, and getting the wrong Idea about me It isn't fun getting insulted over a learning disability. Why should ppl have right to insult someone, refuse to get to know someone because they are of a mindset that either A) it doesn't exist. or B0 is isn't that big of a problem C) all in my head. I had to deal with that in school. not fun.

People tend to not think of other people or their problems, its pretty common especially in in today's day and age. Its important to just remember that people are for the most part ignorant, or just don't care to know. I would just not take what they say personally and work on bettering yourself; your not going to change the worlds way of thinking on ADD one post at a time.

Not trying to do that. Just want ppl to stop assuming the worst of me on here That is all. I'm not the witchy troll everyone think that I am. I'm a friendly person why as a odd way of typing/talking. I try to let ppl know on how they look at times. Which others have done to me. And maybe suggest a better way of presenting ideas or topicsw like this. So no one gets the wrong idea and become offended (which happe alot on here)

I totally understand you! I am a solo player has well

I always try to look over my post before hitting the enter key, as I go over to see with or without a spellchecker to see if I type out words correctly while seeing if things flow or sound right when read after I finish typing.

Why I understand it might be hard for you to want to get everything your thinking down in text going 10 times the speed of your key typing from your head, it would really benefit you to go back and look over what you typed.

So you are able to see if what you typed flows well and makes sense while trying hard to see if a words are spelled right.

A suggestion would be to have a physical dictionary next to you if your uncertain of a word.

I have a bother that struggles with the same condition as you, however he tend to taken advice I have given him over the years and doesn't have nearly as much trouble as he once did, though it does take practice to say the lease.

I know its not something you really wanted to hear, but even if it takes a bit of extra time between posts in the long run people are more likely to read what you have to say if your not rushing to post whats on your mind before giving what you typed a decent look over.

As for soloing while you might think that it makes a mmo empty and disconnected it is not the same if we choose to ignore people, as a mmo as many online game has been for many a place to connect with others in a online community be it a world, server or whatever you might call it to connect with others.

Grouping is only one of many aspects of community, to assume that without grouping that if we all soloed (which is very unlikely) believing the world would feel dead would be a bit extreme in thinking to put it mildly.

Remember not everyone is going to have the same interests and desires as you, and as such when the developers diversify the way the game can be play your bound to run into different kinds of people that play the game.

While you might not agree with how soloers play, you should also be open to the fact that we are not here to anger you we are just here to play the game the way we want to.

I am many like me would hope that people that group would be able to understand that and at lease be able to accept each others preference while being civil and open mind to each other.

I know I have been well known for spending half a day just talking to friends in game and people in zones, even though I am soloing alone does that sound like a dislocated and dead world to you or that I am being anti-social?

I would hope not if anything that might make be look very social but not in the way some of you really want me and others to play by your rules and your groups playing your way while forcing us to play your way instead of ours.

Which I might add sounds a bit unfair if you ask me to be demanding anything or suggesting we group remember not all of us totally hate groups per say, but enough bad apples and mistreatment from group members over the year in many games along with other factors have made grouping in general a sour subject or necessity when soloing is a viable option

If I could find my dictionary Id have it with me. But ya I do reread what I post, and to me it reads fine. I also give people notice that if you do not understand me, just ask a question.

I also stated I do not mind soloing, just if they are rude about it. It tends to kill the mood of any game. Like the OP seriously did not need to type this topic out. And should ignore people who give them a hard time. What I do find funny is I made similar posts and was blasted over them. Not to long ago I made a topic to the devs by re conidering a few things and add more options to the game. So alot more types of people are willing to join and have fun. All people said was "useless thread" "this thread adds nothing" How does this thread add anything? Why do we need to know about this? I never once seen ANYONE say anything bad to or about solo'ers. I knew tons of them in several mmo. But these people who solo'ed also did join in group content and didn't suggest a mix of solo content and group content.

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Now not saying a mix of both is bad, just never seen an mmo handle that well. If content can be solo, people WILL solo it. Even if you want to do it with a group just for having fun in a group, people will look down on you saying "you can solo it, and do not need a group" This happen to me alot in WoW and Aion. I enjoy being with other players, and tend to have the most fun that way I do not join in groups just to have it be easy.

I also enjoy some solo stuff and feel good when I CAN solo something. I'm not the best "gamer" persay and tend to play games on "easy". So when I can solo something say in ffxi like COp mission in sea, i was VERY happy. heck I cried when I beat maat as I didn't think i would ever, since I am not the best solo'er.
And again not to be mean. OP could have stated his topic a bit better. Because in my eyes coming in an mmo and bluntly saying "I hate grouping, and will refuse to group with people" kinda made me think "wow... who does this guy think he is." Kinda left a sour taste.

The problem I see with soloing in an MMO is what MMO stands for Massive Multiplayer Online. You can play a game like Morrowind, ect just download all the custom content. Also in my opinion Soloing in an MMO gives the illusion of a dead community. I miss the OLD MMO days they should just start making MSO games. So people who still want to play MMOs the way they were originally intended to be played can.

You make the common mistake of thinking that a soloist wants a dead world with no life or activity in it. A world like this gets boring pretty quickly. It would be tantamount to living in a real world where every person other than you is a computer. Almost like a prisons solitary confinement. I play an MMORPG because I want a world that is active, alive, and where I know that behind a large number of those virtual avatars are real people, interacting with the game world in entertaining, exciting ways. For example, I love going out in the world doing my quests and running into some others doing their quests, crafting, harvesting, whatever. Even seeing an occasional party run by off on some errand, makes the world feel dynamic and alive. It feels very lonely in instanced world games like Guild Wars, where even though it carries the title of MMORPG (which I do not think it deserves) you will never see another living soul out in the game world unless they are in your party. I do not have to like party mechanics to want to feel a part of a larger community.

Also, offline RPG's are a poor substitute for an MMORPG. The content, even in the largest games with the most DLC, are still a fraction of the size of a typical MMORPG, and tend to have relatively short lifespans where new content is released, and then its off to the next one.

sorry i keep running out of room. :P
Pretty much he could just left it at "i perfer to solo, that is how I enjoy the game" This way he isn't coming off as a jerk. And this was something I was trying to point out. Just had a rough time explaining it. And that also to me, He does SEEM (not is) playing victem. Like anyone can say anthing about grouping or that in an ff mmo group are sorta expected at somepoint (like everymmo I played) That even though it is in the Eulaaks rules, it is a standered of mmo in general sort of an unwritten rule. And that most end game content is centered around grouping. This also includes WoW and Aion. (and these have alot of solo aspects as well)
