Time to hang it up?

[NoOneofConsequence]

I think about it some days. The game has gotten so passive-aggressively toxic. I can't even have normal conversations with people without them turning it around on me for no reason. I was having trouble doing something and I was trying to figure it out, but instead of being helpful or constructive I was being treated like I needed to quit the game and let someone else do what I was doing. It's frustrating, to say the least. I'm keeping it vague for obvious reasons. But it's bad. Everyone is like that. I'm not openly criticizing anything. I'm just trying to be friendly and helpful, and I feel like nobody wants me around. Some days I can't stand it. I hate how anti-social everyone is now. And I know a lot of it is returning people who are gonna leave and have no steak in anything, but it just sucks. It sucks feeling like a group of strangers have nothing but contept for you. It sucks feeling like you're wasting everyone else's time just being you. And it sucks that I have to feel this way. A game that brought me so much joy is legitimately making me depressed.

Anyway, I'm not gonna keep going. It's getting too sad.

I moved over to Mateus to play with my best friend, but I think he ditched me. And everyone here is worse than what I have been dealing with.

I can't relate personally in some of those issues. But I do know that misery loves company. And the overall atmosphere in EW started to change due to design decisions. Additionally, some players are not great with setting their expectations of others. Even I can be guilty of that sometimes. But, you only know them through your interaction in game. You are only seeing one facet of them. It is possible they are just a dick, or they could have reasons for it, etc etc. Its not a one size fits all scenario.

If you are having that negative a reaction though, seriously though, step away for a bit. <3
How the game affects you will not impact any other person, focus on yourself. Don't hang around and beat that joy with a stick until its dead :-(.
