Unbelievable Rudeness!

This argument is pointless. This isn't what rating systems are about. If my 11 year old son goes to see Deadpool by himself, the theater has the right to refuse him. But if I take him (which I did), the theater will gladly give us our tickets. I have the right as a parent to decide what my child is capable of handling. Please stop using this rating argument. It doesn't belong here. I have actually had conversations with SE customer support and told them my son plays FFXIV with us. They were very happy to hear it. Ratings are for parents protection.

Yeah. Ratings more or less just tell people what to expect. Ultimately it falls to the parents as to what they believe their kids can handle.

You can't control what others do but you can control how you react to it.

It's 16 in EU.

Well, op is from Diabolos, that is Crystal, 13+ region.

But, anyway, bad behavior is bad. And insulting others when they fail something seems a pretty common occurrence in that region. Hope not. How we can call that, cultural difference? But some of my EU "colleagues" are trying to catch up, in the end both have nothing to be proud of.

Oh if they're diablos I will run things with you and your daughter op, if you want to set up a group and not party with randos.

You completly missed the point.
And servers are just servers, it doesn't make the rating at all.
I just tried to explain you that no, no it's not false news to say that the game is 16+, because rating isn't the same from places to places.
It never justified the behavior this kid encoutered either.

I wasn't there, and forum post doesn't really tell much expect "started blaming her", which is quite normal situation.

When I went for my first run in The Orbonne Monastery, I had no idea of it's tactics and caused us to wipe on 2nd last boss encounter. Some people reacted to it, I apologized and told that it was my first time there - afterwards we downed it.

A small part of me feels this didn't actually happen as I've seen plenty stories similar to it.

Nevertheless, interactions like that is bound to happen on an MMO. Once she's calmed down just encourage her to move on from it and try again, a bad interaction shouldn't mean giving up on a game you enjoy.

Girlfriend started playing recently and its her first MMO and so far so good. I've told her though, someday, she's going to run into someone who is going to tell her she is terrible and needs to quit the game or worse. I've told her the best thing to do in that instance is just leave the duty and forget about it. There's no point in trying to debate with those people b/c they get their thrills by insulting others. It's not like you lose much for bailing, but you do deprive the other person from being able to continue to insult you.

Your first reaction is to assume they're lying? Really? What is there to gain by lying about something like that? To make Real Gamers like you look bad?

It's kind of disturbing that if people aren't blaming OP or their daughter for what happened, they're saying it's completely fake anyway. Holy crap.
