Raids are more fun than credit cards.

My credit card doesn't yell at me and call me all manner of things just because I made one single mistake.
My card doesn't look down on be because I'm not an überl33t pwnage killing machine that's done god knows what to others mothers.

You might see what I mean, the Raid community can be a little too elite for alot of people.

i mean, i know these horror stories exist but i've literally only come across someone like this once (and he was terrible anyway)

I'm not saying everyone act like the "common" gamer elite.
But I also know alot of people that shun away from specific contents because they have been treated badly and are now afraid to try again.

Making mistakes in games is not a life threatening situation and alot of people have to take a chill pill sometimes.
I know people don't wanna waste their time either. But learning through mistakes is one of the best, if not the best way to learn new things. In games and real life.
But some people wants you to know everything beforehand and never make a mistake.

Yeah.... I'm kinda ranting atm.



Anyway, back on topic.

I support the idea of no more "X" threads. But I also know that'll never happen because people are never satisfied (almost) unless everything fits their taste like a glove.
Not that it's wrong to voice ones belief. But I understand how others might find it nothing but anoying when several threads about the same topic pops up everywhere.

community rant

And this is why as a mentor I take it extremely seriously to be a voice of calm, a voice of reason, and a voice of insight. If anything goes wrong, I will calmly explain what went wrong and how to deal with it, and then give everyone a rallying cry of encouragement to say they can do it. But I won't get salty (or at least, I won't show it, sometimes it's like "WHAT!?" but I'm just like "Well flipping out at them won't solve anything even if it feels like I'm talking to a brick wall").

Yes, when it's me that does wrong I am extremely harsh about it. When others do wrong, I am very calm about it. But with me, it was more what I did was actually against ToS in-game that was the reason for me acting the way I did. I am of the belief that if you break rules, you should get heavily punished for it. I've tried reporting myself to the GMs about it too when I've broken ToS. They didn't do a thing about it. (For clarification, this was before I became a mentor. But I'd had a really bad day and for some reason the WAR just refusing to even say a word and say he'd prefer to MT even with me as PLD just rubbed me too far the wrong way and I decided to ragequit. I was always of the belief that even at 50, PLD makes the better MT as WAR provides way more damage.)

I beg to differ. If you over charge or even charge it and don't pay it will do a lot worse then call you names. Also if you don't own certain cards you cant do certain stuff (black platinum American express) lol

Stop using this as an excuse, ignore those types and move on. Get a group of nice people and play together, be more active and social. You know how much I get bullied online and how much crap I deal with...I ignore it and keep going, and always accomplish what I set out to do.

You can't rely on money to get you things in life this way, try raiding and doing stuff in game with actual friends and people that aren't jerks, it's a lot more enjoyable, I promise.

I guess you didn't get it, but my post was part silly, part sarcastic and part over-reacting.
You can read my second post which basicly explains what I meant with the first one.

Personally I play games for what I find enjoyable. Raiding is not one of those though, never been. I'm too casual to put in the time for it and don't think more about it.

Edit: yes, someone can misuse a card, but that is a real life thing and alot more serious then failing in a game. For that reason it's only logical that people would get mad at you.
Raging over a game is just silly. But I am no saint either. I have raged over games, alot. But I have learned to control myself and realize that a game is just a game, there's no reason to get mad over it.

Oh okay, fair enough! To be fair, sarcasm (sadly especially on this forum) can be a bit tricky to detect because a lot of off the wall posts are serious lol
