Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Just reported somebody for the first time in any game over "abusive language". This kid in Lost Ark, couldn't not blame me for a wipe. I even apologized in the chat, that I missed a mechanic, I told them exactly why.. a literal bumblebee was in my room. It had just started crawling all over me during a mechanic... and I'm allergic. This kid started berating me in chat non-stop for like 5 minutes straight during the next pull. I don't think I've ever even heard or read such childish insults over the internet. I actually don't think I've ever even heard any of what was being said since I was in middle school, for that matter. It was idiotic.

At this point, I think I've kind of lost my tolerance for this sort of nonsense.

It's very rare I ever report someone, but if people start arguing or being just generally shitty in party chat in FFXIV I just basically say '' if there's gonna be drama I'll just leave now '' and usually it shuts people up.
And if they continue I just leave.

I play games for fun not to listen to people with ego problems have an internet dick-measuring contest lol.
If I wanted to do that I'd go to Reddit.

I don't really like the idea of someone losing an account over something petty, but at some point some of these people do need a wakeup call, and if getting suspended or a warning isn't enough, then maybe they do deserve to be banned. If someone throws a tantrum over one wipe in an mmo, then maybe them getting banned is doing them a favor. MMOs aren't for them. I am pretty up front when I think a wipe is due to a mistake of mine, I apologize and try to do better. It's really uncalled for to be attacked to the extent I did. Like, I hope this person was a kid, because if they weren't a kid, they really need time to reflect.

I missed this reply:

I'll never use 99.9% of the seasonal event stuff, or use it only incredibly infrequently, but I still have to get it just to have it while it's free in-game. I didn't get the full clown gear on either of my characters and I'm now kicking myself for not doing it. I doubt I'll ever wear it, but not having the full set is going to eat at me forever.

Typically the same. I'm the type of person who likes to get things just to have them if I can. To collect them. I do actually use every decoration I get from them in my house. If I do something, I need to completely finish it, it's part of the reason I hate battlepasses and the like in games.
