It is a pretty good read, I mean people have strong opinions on the matter.

And this is the problem right here folks. OP looks upon players who are not up to their personal standards as filth. Not people. This is why it is completely useless to explain to them that not everyone "below" them is intending to be a parasite. If they can't see them as people, then they will never accept the human reasons why people play the way that they do.

There is a word for a person like this but I'm going to refrain from using it. I'm sure many of you know exactly what I mean.

I'm having a hard time thinking they're remotely serious anymore.. that's like a supervillain monologue there.

[Tyssyn]

It's all attention, even if it's negative attention, and some people don't care as long as the 'spotlight' is focused on them for whatever reason.

[MilkieTea]

Mans is villain monologueing for attention. Carry on, folks.

I was referring to what goes on in Siren as filth, not players at large. Visit sometime, you might gain a better understanding.

None of us have to go anywhere. We're looking right at it.

Hey doc, how are things?

Time and time again you have absolutely refused to entertain the idea that anyone below your standards isn't a parasite. You assume the absolute worst in people. This is not a Siren issue. This is a you issue.

No one is saying you have to enjoy a person's bad performance, they just want you to understand that bad performance doesn't automatically mean a bad person. I'm terrible at math. Does this make me a bad person? Does this make me a parasite? Of course it doesn't. And it's the same with playing games. You can do something badly without malicious intentions.

Disappointing, I thought you above the filth that infects Siren. You were so close to the truth, but you deflect it. Sad, really.

Agreed. I'm done as well. This was entertaining but all...good? bad? things must come to an end.
