Is there too much soy in this game's community

Password for a BA run on a discord was 9999, I joins group and said loved the password was nein, nein, nein nein. Got kicked. Don’t know how these people get through life. Not even offensive ������

I'd love to have a couple of examples of what constitutes "friendly, competitive banter." And in what situations it might be used.

I'll list some things that have been said to me in OSRS by people after they killed me in PvP—things that brought a smile to my face and made me want to 1v1 them again asap.

1. Sit
2. F*ck, you even trying buddy?
3. Get wrecked

Are we really going to sit here and intimate that trash talk (within reason, as in no slurs/biogtry/irl related insults) is somehow morally wrong or immature?

I remember playing PVP in another MMO with a much smaller player base, where the regular PVPers more or less knew each other on a casual basis and were friendly to one another, and the banter was much worse than this and while I never participated, I could tell that between them, it was mostly done in fun and I could appreciate it for what it was. But whenever some community event occurred that got the wider player base into PVP when they otherwise never touched it, tempers would flare because what worked with the small group of mutual friendly antagonists didn't work with hundreds or thousands of people who don't know each other at all.

I suspect that's the situation here. That kind of banter works with people you know (or have a mutual understanding with even if you don't really know them)--but in a large community of thousands who aren't normally competitive with each other, it doesn't. Which is what FFXIV's PVP is like.

I certainly don't regard it as a moral issue. And in EVE Online that sort of thing would be regarded as mild. Honestly, yes, it does strike me as immature, but equally if it meets the common standards of a game and is regarded as amusing, no problem.

The issue doesn't arise in 14 PvP, of course, since you can't communicate with the enemy. When someone jumps on or teabags my unconscious form, I conclude they're an idiot since they're sacrificing uptime.

Is it my turn to resurrect a post from 1998 tomorrow?

Even better if it's your own post that you wrote yourself that you necro.

In FF14 we have something better really. Ignore marking. Honestly it's so funny because the community became so passive aggressive that the insults are even more cutting: ignore marking someone is basically saying "you're so worthless I'm not even going to bother typing a sentence" LOL

Honestly the FF franchise fans are the babies and originally this game contained more of a MMO playerbase and not the FF fanbase lol

I'm usually the person people talk smack about, and I never minded it too much. I approve of absolute free speech so I can enjoy the drama—ideally from afar. ������

Too much vinegar in the forums more like, har har!
