Well it finally happen...

Logged in just to reply to this because it really resonates with me lately. Last week I was harrassed in alexander floor 1 by a healer and tank for being an LOLdrg, and not being top dps in i176 gear, thinking it was a fluke I ran another run of floor 1 alex and again as the tank proceeded to suck and dps proceeded to die after healers died in first pull the tank and his fc i assume began the battlecry of loldrg's fault. To which I responded, "the only damage I took was the 2 hits to kill me after you all had died, I am not mp sponge, I did more damage than your dead dps, and the only reason I did not do more was your fail tanks kept spinning Faust, as for loldrg this loldrg tells all of you to eat shit and die like a drg." Then I left them to enjoy their no doubt continued deathfest and ate 30 mins downtime. I have not been back in Alexander since, I elected to instead focus on finishing upgrading my accessories which I have done i am now an even ilvl180 drg who is learning EX mechanics while completing his collection of My Little Ponies. I am confused by the visceral attacks i've experienced, the harrassment, and general nasty sniping comments i've gotten despite seldom taking aoe damage or falling to mechanics more than once. It's nasty enough that I am hesitant to participate in new content.

I think that people who get offended by casual take the game too seriously. Hell I'm casual because I don't raid 5 nights a week. lol

If the Tank throws out casual as an insult perhaps he just has personal issues - don't think about it too much!

Pretty much like this.

Remember that online games are excelent hideouts for ill minded people that are shunned by society: Psycopaths, Sociopaths, Narcissists, etc. You have to remember that you will be playing with these people from time to time and they will be their true self protected behind the monitor. Just avoid these people, they are too sad, too angry to be dealt with.

Never been called casual. Been called Elitist once or twice which I can understand why. I have a very low tolerance for stupidity, which is what I run across all the time whenever I DF some of my roulettes. Normally I'll get irritated but not say anything and just do the runs in the slooow pace it goes. Other times it's been so bad I lose my temper, which I later regret because I realuze not everyone has the ability, experience, and brains to do a dungeon quick and smoothly.

Elitist though? I clock in 2 hours a day anymore, and never finished final coil.

I think I would prefer to be called casual instead of a no life gamer. Just think of it as a compliment.
