Online Bullying - A Dev request for a response and discussion

[indira]

its not the dutyfinder. its the people playing the game there the ones acting like that, if your a cry baby, elitest, used to having your hand held buy your guild's or spoiled brat dont bother with the DF that easy and will save 7 other people the drama.

This is the sort of stuff I'm talking about, posted by Fusion Xfromgamerescape this morning on twitter.

Should we just 'grow up' and 'deal with it'?

LWaen how to deal with them in a professional manner.

THe loudest negiive people have the mentality of Children, and are self absorbed. THey are typically the worst at their skills as well.

Be carefull taking advice from those types as well. Usually it is bad tactics.

Respect and good communication helps everyone grow and do well. Cocky attitudes and self created superiority is meant to make ones self feel good for their own issues.

If someone explains what your mebt to do and they ignore and not do it.. yea I will be mad cuz I just wasted an hour + on a que and got some idiot. If were meant to hold everyone's hand than how will they learn.

I'm the first one to try and help and explain fights or mechanics but shit some people can only help so much before we lose our minds.

If someone talked like what was shared in the jpeg to a coworker at an office, you wouldn't tell the coworker to "suck it up and deal". You'd tell him to report it and get the offender fired. There's a reason we have Harassment laws. If you act poorly at your workplace you will get fired. If you act poorly in an online community, you should get banned. It's as simple as that.

ah, i see that you have gone through your government mandated sensitivity training that hs taught you that anyone who ever tells you that you are not a unique and special snowflake is a bully. and after-all, bullies are bad people, which makes it OK to do bad things to them.

Please grow up, it is bad enough that the US military's Special Forces has to deal with and re-educate babies who have been told all their life that we don't have to keep score and everyone can win. Please stop bringing this to my fantasy game. When you say "bully," all i can think of is that you have very poor confidence and thin skin. If someone is being a total jerk, without reason, just kick them from party, or leave the DF yourself.

I use the word 'Bully' to create a topic for conversation so it's easy and quick to understand the discussion. Call them what you want.

My point sir, is that not everyone is a tough nut, not everyone can just deal with it. Furthermore, the military and and MMO are entirely different things, I don't see the point in you bringing that to the table.

This is a game. People, especially when there are kids about, should not be subject to abuse, end of.

I must have picked the right server because I haven't experienced any of this. I've been irritated with several of the tanks I've been in a group with and a snapped at them to do their job but I've yet to insult or be insulted by anyone.

There's no excuse for name calling. That's generally understood by age 5. I don't care if you are frustrated, mad or have just waited 3 hours for a party that fails. Don't like the party? leave. You gain nothing by antagonising someone else and you risk being reported. If you are such an awesome player, why are you using DF anyway? play with your FC. leave DF for those making their way through content.
