    Given our past discussion I don't feel like responding to you, not when you slowly degraded to exceptionally subtle personal insults in your last comments (can't wait to be called oversensitive or something on this one). It's not worth anyone's time or energy having to deal with someone who acts like that. After this I'm not going to respond to you.

    We also have tanks and healers that hold runs hostage or intentionally troll runs with the knowledge of how long it takes for a replacement to appear should they get kicked (spoiler alert: a really long bloody time). One or two bad eggs in that situation, yet people cry and moan about the possible parser harassment as if literally everyone is going to do it.

    If you let one or two bad eggs define your entire experience how are you even able to manage playing online games? Trolls are a dime a dozen no matter what you play.

    You also forget if someone is openly harassing you about your dps and acting like a total fool belittling you, the group can kick that person. If you're actually playing so poorly that the group would rather keep the rude player than you then maybe you should try figuring out what's wrong? Maybe try improving? :O



    To avoid that confrontation with a single troll in the future your options are:
    a) Quit the game because one meanie hurt your precious feelings
    b) I don't know, learn how to play semi-competently?
    c) Remain blissfully ignorant.

    How many people quit the game because of a single troll they encounted in an online game? If everyone was that fickle the concept of "online gaming" would've died years ago.

    Also: TT tourneys are still flawed, win traders can still get top 3 for nothing, the steps SE took for that have yet to show promise. Too bad we can't vote kick people from them.

    I just really wanted to point out that this saying implies they are the majority here as well LOL. This outright contradicts your agreement of the "one or two bad eggs" bit. Your argument shouldn't be focused on "one or two", as though it were rare, if you really believe trolls to be so common (which is something I agree with), since it completely contradicts your attempt to belittle how often bad behavior occurs.

    The rest of your quote is on the defensive from this perspective. It's hard to find agreement with it, without overlooking your earlier approach of it being such a rare occurrence lol. If I do that, however, then I can almost fully agree with what you said just now lol. Although, I do outright agree about the TT stuff being flawed still. But Yoshi-P said it himself, it's a work-in-progress approach, which they might have just given up on for now since there were supposed to be more changes in 2.56 lol. What we have now was not intended to stop it, just be a band-aid fix to promoting more participation and make people still want to at least try, even if they won't rank (since trying = more MGP and plat cards). I'm assuming they won't act to punish win-trades, as nothing happened with the PvP situation, but just to get participation going and hopefully prevent bad habits somewhere down the line (that ones probably not going to happen).

    As a side note, I don't recall making any insults about you on a personal level, even if subtle. I tend to try to criticize arguments, and maybe give examples that result from those arguments, more often than the person. If I did that, then apologies. I'd really like to know what it was I said though, if you can recall it. I do have a habit of being condescending towards arguments presented, and it can sometimes transition over depending on how close to home it hits for the other person.
