The level of maturity in this game

[Slatervonjager]

Maybe it's because I'm old, maybe it's because I'm old fashioned, but if you can't be a decent person in game, then just stop playing, please. This isn't call of duty, where 10 year olds swear, constantly insult one another, or throw racist remarks around like they're funny. Yes I understand, there are quite a few teenagers playing this game, but that's no excuse for acting like a douche.

If you're gonna have an argument with one person, then keep your problem with that one person, don't ruin things for an entire party. You don't want to play with that one person, don't like what they're saying to you? Then quit the instance, report them, whatever, but don't be some immature clown and ruin things for people that did you no wrong.

If you can't act like a decent person, then go back to single player games.

The closest thing we have to taking 'responsibility' for our actions is through our character names. Outside that, no one knows us, save for friends and family that play as well. I would bet money that people would act different had our real names/faces been plastered up on the forums/games and knew generally where we lived (kinda like people who know you through work etc).

OMG, character names. I would like once, just once, for a game to be made, where time was spent to eliminate as many possible combinations of anything sexual, drug related, or racist for character names.

I was abused for my name being racist. :/?

Just be thankful this community isn't as bad as LoL's.

Lol, White Mage? That's brilliant.

But not really.

As long as there are no consequences for bad behavior, immature people of all ages will act mean/stupid/rude with impunity.

As MMO players we are anonymous, hiding behind our character names. Being anonymous, we are free to be mean/stupid/rude, because we feel that we will get away with it. And the vast majority of the mean/stupid/rude people DO get away with it.

My mother once told me, "Your true character comes out when you are alone and temptation comes your way. How you act when nobody is watching shows your true character."

That has never left me.

Well, if enough people report somone, a GM may take them to the in-game Jail zone to talk with them about their behavior...

I find it hilarious how folk up in this place be acting like they are from League of Legends. Now why do I gotta get cancer over Titan you guys?
I mean if we wanna rate the worst MMO communities of top 1.

P2P: WoW.
F2P: LoL.
I think we got the mix of the two and now look lol! Best of both worlds!
This is my first P2P sorta and I kinda expected a nicer community, but nope.
Hopefully after 30 day thing things will weed and thin out so we can't have no trolls.
I mean they were seriously fighting about Anime when someone was recruiting an Anime-esque guild.
Seriously peoples?

League isn't that bad. Statistically, Xbox live is the worst gaming community there is.

But you get the point, there is no reason to act like such a douche to people that you do not know in a game. What good does it do? none. What does it actually do? Ruins yours, and the experience of all parties involved.

I'm not sure how you can statistically measure toxicity in a community.

Some people just don't know how to properly handle their identity when they're completely anonymous besides a bunch of text that nobody else can use. It's pointless to tell people not to assist in a community's toxicity, because if they really are toxic to begin with, they really won't care what you have to say. For games with social aspects and interactions, half the struggle is learning to deal with (or rather, not deal with) people who have the sole intent of making your gaming experience worse. The other half of the social aspect is learning how to fully utilize the game's potential through collaboration.
