Stop being so hostile in the game

a post about "stop being hostile" has degenerated into this lmao

Well, truth be told... I’m happy that we can have a discussion like this on the forum, because it means that this is an issue we are currently being confronted with. By posting about it in the General Discussion forum section, we can make these issues known and talk with one another about it.

Since this is a community related issue, only we (as part of the said community) can actually do something about it. That being said, we can’t solve things by simply pointing our fingers towards something or someone.

We can only solve it if we act upon them as part of a community. A healthy community is a community that can support its fellow members and work together in order to keep it healthy and active.

With the introduction of the Duty Finder, this has become an incredibly difficult task since the DF removed the “need” for social bonds to be formed in order to tackle content. The chance that you will meet up with the same people again is rather slim, which will give people the opportunity to behave like jerks and get away with it.

But, if you look closely, there are groups of people who come up with community run events, which attract the attention from the people around them. This is but a small thing that makes people group together and do things with each other, rather than jumping at each other's throats because they weren’t performing their class at their optimal performance.

We can’t fix someone else's attitude, but we can find friendly / like minded people to work with. Not against.

One way of doing that is to add content which will not be placed within the DF, but can still be fun to do with a group. For example the “treasure hunter dungeon” Maps they are planning to release in Patch 3.3 (which may reveal an entrance to a dungeon instead of a chest). Poppable NM’s. Or maybe a reintroduction of “Hamlet Defense” / “Beastmen camp invasions”.
