The bullying on these forums is concerning

[Iscah]

A moderator shouldn't be there to protect you from evil lurkers. Just my 2 cents.

No, a moderator is there to shut the whole thread down because they've seen what went on in the previous threads and can judge that it's going to be nothing but drama from the start*. And half the people driving it should have already been banned due to necroing threads and generally all-but-declaring they're sock puppets of the ongoing troll.

* and that's regardless of whether the OP is genuine (and thus opening them self up to further attack) or trolling.

Would it be considered bullying if once Data Center travel is available, I went to Crystal (blegh..) just to PK OP in PVP? Assuming he does some PVP.

In their eyes probably would say it is a targeted assault on them due to a personal bias and actions go beyond what a reasonable person to constituent as acceptable.

Just my guess. :P

Does anybody even actually play PvP in this game? I'd love to camp some open world spawns and kill players, but that's just not a thing here. Nor would it be worth it trying to get into a frontline to do it, those are a complete mess, in my opinion.

I need to side with the Topic Creator despite whatever history he has, the bullying on here has gotten out of hand and it always seems to come from the same posters that tend to get away with a lot of their comments.

I would like to see these people as almost no one in the forums can get away with saying some ignorant shit without being absolutely destroyed by 1 or multiple replies.

Probably just a difference in opinion on what "bullying" is.

It looks like in-game is a source of bullying too! I just got out of a DR where a player threatened to kill the whole raid "if someone doesn't voke", and when I suggested that doing so could get them reported.. I was the subject of directed profanity, and when I told them that was also a reportable - even bannable - offense I was told to "shut up", I was subject to even more profanity that I cannot include here! It is quite unacceptable behavior, I have to say.

And you reported? Making them 33% closer to being banned forever?

Nope. I've never reported anyone in-game, I was simply saying that saying things like that could get them reported, and even banned. Maybe they should think about potentially being 33% closer to being permad, before they bully someone. I am a very nice person.
