Is anyone else scared of dungeons or trying to progress?

I don't think anyone's expecting to be "treated like a princess." They're expecting to be treated with common courtesy and like a human being.

Telling people they should die in a fire is not cool. Telling people they have no place playing the game is not cool. And those are just tips of the iceburgs of things people have been told.

I personally was bombarded with huge amounts of threats and how I should just go jump in front of traffic. Because of pixels.

People seem to forget that those are people on the other side of the monitor.

Words only have value when you give them value. Not sure why you would take anyone seriously when they say anything on the internet. Its the internet, and we're dealing with avatars in a video game. This isn't Facebook, we don't know each other in real life. None of it is real. This is what people mean by "grow thicker skin". Ignore the nonsense and enjoy your game.

Not only do I agree with LiadansWhisper that this is just complete and utter bullshit (words always have power and incorrectly used can have major consequences) but it shows that you utterly miss the point.

People shouldn't have to deal with this. They should have to "grow thicker skin." How about instead, people treat people like they're living, breathing human beings instead of pixels on a screen? The OP, and anyone who's been put in the same position, have every right to feel upset. This is abysmal behavior and should not be tolerated by any community with any degree of maturity.

If you want to participate in an online community with real people then you need to make sure that you're a mature adult and can handle it yourself.

I'm sorry but no. A mature adult knows the value of treating strangers with dignity and respect. Something you appear to not quite understand.
