What are "rules" of MMOs that you have discovered?

[ToraoKoga]

If I don't like something, therefore everyone else must not like it!

Number 1 rule of MMO's : Unless and until proven otherwise, the person behind the other toon is male.

[juniglee]

If a person new to a dungeon or their class makes a mistake ONCE, that is permission for the other 3/7/23 players to launch a tirade of abusive comments against said player.

It is also an unwritten rule that it is also a permission to initiate a vote kick on said person.

What people say on the forums often has no reflection on what actually happens in game.

[Wadoka]

Being a slow tank is not okay, tanks should wait for the party but they also shouldn't take a million years to wait for party members before they pull. Wait the time it takes to put icons above monsters heads and then pull.

Nope. That's irresponsible Tanking. It's our job to (1) Make sure everyone's back at full MP and TP before pulling; (2) Make sure all the party buffs are still up, and get renewed as necessary; (3) Check to see everyone is good with food buffs; (4) Make sure no one's gone AFK/BRB; (5) Make sure no one's starting in Cleric Stance or Sword Oath; and (6) Check to ensure we brought enough toilet paper and clean socks.

Well, SOMEONE has to do it

Step 1: If you don't like the behaviour of other players online, go tell everyone on the forum so that other people can tell you "there, there" and it will all go away.

Step 2: If step 1 doesn't work, repeat step 1 with a new thread. It will work better this time.

#512: If our group fails at something, it's not my own fault in any way, I must blame someone else.

The answer to the question: Are you experienced at x fight. is always Yes.

Even if this is a lie, it is only a lie once.

1. If you have no FC, you are the scrubbiest of scrubs and does not deserve to breath the same air as everyone else. Luckly <CoD>, <420> and <YOLO> (I am not actually targeting these FC's, understand that this is parody and if you have a FC named this understand I used generic stupid names just to make my point) exists on every server and spams invites so you do not have to be alone for long.

2. You die you are a scrub. Even if it is not your fault but the tank died and you just happened to have highest aggro.

3. Tanks have veto, immunity and godhood. The tank will never be victim to vote kicking, no matter how bad he happens to be.

4. It is always the Ranged DPS's fault.

[Grailer]

1. Vote to abandon fight instantly 5 mins is up .
2. Vote kick people that are same class as you so they don't get your loot.
3. If you are tank you are required to Speed Run everything
4. A healer is always going to revive you just before the wipe.
5. DPS will always try to pull boss from tank before they even land a single blow.
6. Tanks hate tanking and only play to get faster ques.
7. Healers only play healers because they want to be liked by everyone.
8. DPS think their job is really hard and that tanks and healers are bad players usually.
