Another "they quit" thread

[Ortamus]

You know, I was gonna reply to most of your points, mostly to help you maybe understand why things function in a MMO the way they do, but then I saw this and I stopped caring about you. Shaking your head? Because someone was happy they did something? He was proud, he was happy; he put effort into something and got somewhere and felt great and you shake your head? Why? Because it's not what you would do? Fine if it's not your thing, but damn if you just 'feel sorry' for people enjoying themselves.

I didn't say he was happy, I said he was proud. He didn't enjoy the process either so what is there to brag about? If you're not having fun on a game what's the point? 30 hours of doing the same dungeon for one item. I'd feel sympathy for anyone who used that as something to be proud of. I'm glad you decided not to reply to me you'd have only bored me trying to defend the game.

Why would you care what someone else is proud about? It's none of your business. The only time people care about someone else being proud about something is when they are jealous.

I felt genuine sympathy, not jealousy. I was helping this person, I haven't named this person nor did I offer them insult. As I stated it is only what I think.

Edit: You are also very wrong about pride. When someone is proud, you can also be impressed, and proud of what someone else has achieved. I can honestly say I am impressed with the amount of determination it must have taken for them to do this, but I can't help the sympathy I feel too.
