    While playing yesterday, this topic was brought up via shouts on Excalibur in North Shroud from a player that lost their temper here. They still had the same general attitude and view point, yet didn't care for and ignored different view points from others. It died and ppl just changed the topic of discussion.

    It would help if people wouldn't be so defensive and resort immediately to prejudices and stereotypes to sling insults at one another. I mean really look at the two threads on the front page talking about this topic and you see the insults and hyperbole used everywhere in the place of actual conversation and understanding. The Casual-Raider or Lowskill-Highskill divide is as close to outright racism as we get in this game. I wish there was more middle difficulty content so that people could shift from the lowskill group and start working their way to the high skill group. Until upward mobility becomes easier we're just going to continue having these issues. Honestly If skill were the economy then I'd say we are in desperate need of a middle class.

    I posted this a while back, I think what you want is great.. But I've yet to see such occure it's like this everywhere on every forum I've ever been on. Like the one guy in the image is all it takes, one person is enough to make everyone else lose themselves in anger. Rarely do I ever see someone ignore a post and others follow. Someone will always comment on that one snow ball post and then we get to the point of frustration and wondering what we're even fighting about.
