Eldryan I find it difficult to even engage conversation with such a definitive statement that expresses both a distaste both for the current state in the game, and the majority of the game's base in one swift stroke.

What I will state is that in the 'old days' of gaming. MMO players, and gamers in general were a very small niche of society, isolated and ridiculed. Though for what they were to one another was welcoming and accepting because of this.


Now that gaming is far more widely accepted, I have regretfully seen a reversal in such attitudes from the 'old school' instead of welcoming, they are instead very indignant, clutching to the days in which they felt their position as a gamer made them feel special, in spite of the world viewing them poorly. I find myself longing for the days that our community welcomed every newcomer, shared in the passion of the game regardless of whether or not it appealed specifically to them and still maintained a sense of wonder in the hard work and dedication that is provided for us to merely enjoy our free time.

Communities are still building, but what sort of example is the old-school gamer setting if we have forgotten the very fundamentals of the communities we bemoan are not being created?

I accept the fact that the game does not appeal to you, and respect your decision to leave the game. I hope that your future gaming endeavors are more fruitful.

However, I appeal to your better humanity in the future when it comes to your view of the modern generation of gamers, and the games that are being produced. Even if the carrot is reachable, it does not mean you cannot build a caring community or find joy in the individuals you share such times with.
