Entitled DPS, please stop being entitled

Once again regardless of whether s/he was being an a$$ or not is beside the point. When someone is or possibly is being hateful do you think you can make it all go away by just by being hateful in kind? Again two wrongs don't make a right. One or the other in that sort of situation has needs to defuse it or things can far worse. People want to act like if they show decency in the face of adversity then they show themselves to be weak. That is wrong. Why bother arguing in a game? What does it gain you or the person you're arguing with?

Do I believe what I am saying? Yes. Why? Because regardless of how many times I have faced with similar and much worse situations, talking through it before it got out of control led to happier endings more often than not. I won't say it works every time. Some people just don't want to be reasonable, at all, ever. But you have options via the game to make it easier on yourself so you don't have to suffer through it.

You don't have to believe me, like me or any other formulation thereof. But that's how it is. It doesn't always work and when it doesn't I either remove myself or the other half of the problem with the aid of party. I will not play at war in something I:

1. Use to unwind at the end of my gruelling work days. I have back and leg pain and would rather not have a headache to compound the problem.
2. Enjoy playing for the simple pleasure of it. I refuse to let stress affect my gameplay experience because it's just unnecessary.
3. Play with others on. When playing MMOs you get all kinds. If you are not prepared for a few road apples making your journey of gaming happiness with family/friends then I am afraid you are in for a long ride.

All it takes is WILLINGNESS. A willingness to communicate at the beginning and failing that the moment a problem starts to show itself. A willingness to swallow enough pride to do the right thing for everyone involved. It is easy to blow up. It is hard to recover from that. And also a willingness to just drop it. As in leave when you cannot get a volatile situation to calm down or kick the person still causing the problem. I'd rather have 30 minutes to chat with friends than 30 minutes to an hour of hatefulness, wouldn't you agree?
