A troublesome community.

[Vodyara]

Hello.

I am not really sure whether this the right part of the forum.
Well, I have a question, and I seek an answer.

It really bothers me that my first post on this forum is actually a complaint, but oh well, that is how it goes.

Anyway, just a few moments ago, I was just minding my business in Kaineng Center when somebody (forgot the name, dang) said that a player was quitting and gave him 40k and stuff.
He also told that he was giving away free stuff if we send him a personal message.
Having no money or good gear whatsoever, I figured "well, nothing to lose, I'll give it a shot."
While being against blatant begging, I tried a more indirect approach, hoping that the receiver of the message would like to give the odds and ends to a more literate player.
What I got in return was something I would never expect:
"keep it uop im taking snaphosts like i was told to do"
I asked what I had done wrong, but he replied with countless meaningless threats.
Then he told me that I was going to get banned, without giving me the reason why.

The thing is, there wasn't anything told in the Rules of Conduct about asking for things from another player who gives them away with no strings attached.

So, here I am, frustrated and angry, at the mercy the growing number of prepubescent kindergarten dropouts like him whom I am forced to call fellow players.

Also, another player told me to shut up after I publicly asked about the first player threatening other players.
It's sad that the game has no 16+ label.

Tell me, seriously, what did I do wrong?

[Witchblade]

1)Ignore the kiddies
2)Put them in ignore list for a few hours
3)Never open local channel
4)Korea Outposts are quiet

Easy win

I wouldn't worry about it...sounds just like an annoying brat trying to get to you.

[The Meth]

Welcome to the internet. People suck.

[arcanemacabre]

It sounds like someone was playing a mean prank on this guy, and they got very aggravated with probably lots of PMs, and was replying with the same message to everyone. Nothing personal, I'm betting. Basically, wrong place, wrong time. They guy sounded like a douche anyway.

Also, names in posts are forbidden; I'd edit them out.

[Miska Bow]

This kind of crap really looks like only a 12 years old kid would do. You"ll find lots of those on GW. you"ll also find lots of decent player willing to help.

Call it a stroke of bad luck, add him to your ignore list and go on about your game.

[kupp]

Yes don't think there's anything that can get you banned, he's just a stupid kid that's all. Happens to everybody, once me and a friend got invited to a party in a mission, we joined, got insulted hard and got kicked, kid's fun i guess. I pmed the guy asking wth was that for and calling him a kid, and got spammed in private from his guildees with more insults. That's community for ya, fortunatly not everyone's like that. You can rest man, you won't get banned for anything.

On another subject, thanks for the pics, you convinced me to get factions and complete my guild wars collection. Always love asian themed stuff...

[beregond]

Don't worry about it. You did nothing wrong, people just like being a prick to others.

BTW, you need to edit the names out.

[Magiere Nephilim]

Those people are just being jerks. As far as I can tell you have done nothing that is bannable. I personally put people like that on ignore after the first retarded comment I get. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

[HawkofStorms]

1) You goaded that one guy on my calling him mentally retarded.
2) You are not allowed to post people's names. Edit your screenshots.

[Flem]

Don't worry at all. Not against the rules in anyway.

[Kook~NBK~]

Welcome to GW Guru. Now, get rid of the names in your post and Screenies - it's against the rules here.

As for the situation you encountered, one of a couple of things happened. Either the person (Player X) who announced that Player Y was giving away things was a friend/guildie of Player Y and just messing around, OR Player Y made Player X mad and this was Player X's way of getting back at him. I'm sure you weren't the only one who was PMing Player Y looking for a freebie. Either way, the best thing for third parties to do is just ignore it, since it's BS either way.

Don't worry about getting banned or suspended, I dont' think it's gonna happen.

[Blu]

I believe that the first guy was getting revenge or whatever by getting people to spam messages at him. But it was the guy's fault for handling it terribly. The person pm'ing you about being an 8 yr old, etc. also acted immaturely and was probably some loser trying to b*tch.

BTW, make sure to edit names out. Also, gotta remember that age has nothing to do with maturity ^ ^

Also, feel free to judge by the snapshots I took.






P.S.
I'm sorry for disregarding your rules, forgot to read them.

Age has nothing to do with maturity.

Also, welcome to Guild Wars!

[Fosco999]

u can see the players name in the input box lol

[DarkFlame]

Player 1 does something Player 2 doesn't like. Player 2 spams in all chat that player 1 is quiting and giving away all his stuff. Player 3(that's you), along with everybody else is the district pms Player 1 for free handouts. Now you and everyone else have just managed to help Player 2 grief Player 1.

I'd imagine after the first dozen pms you would be pissed off too. You won't get banned as you have done nothing wrong. But in the future, when some stranger says another stranger is giving away this and that, ignore it.

And everyone else who posted needs to learn to read. The guy Vodyara pm'ed is the victim here and the player telling him to shut up is just trying to defend that guy.

*Edit Above comment is meant for those that posted before Kook. God I type slow.

[Aleron]

Hey, welcome to the game! I've learned to ignore the retards. Most of us are considerate.

[gremlin]

Sounds like you just had an unlucky time with a few idiots, might be kiddies but just as many immature adults out there.

Might be just the way my mind works but my first thought was someone had just been theatened with a ban for hassling a player and was encouraging others to spam the same player so he could hide in the crowd.

Hope your next post is on a more pleasant topic

[Velise_Snowtorm]

Sorry you encountered some jerks, but hopefully you'll meet some better people in game.

[quickmonty]

Just like in real life, you will find a lot of good people here, and a few bad apples. Nothing really to worry about, but perhaps a lessen learned.
