Good way to start the weekend.<BR/><BR/>This is why I don't BG anymore.

I know I was very concerned about my parents getting turned away from the game due to trolls, so I told them to never accept group invites, etc, from anyone other than our guild. However, my mother is a fearless pugger and doesn't seem to run into many asses, which is good.<BR/><BR/>I've encountered plenty, especially in BGs. Sometimes I have great responses that echo the sentiments of many others in the raid and sometimes... I don't have anything to say and just ignore the chat.<BR/><BR/>What I really can't stand, are the troll responses to in-game recruitment ads.

The rule meant for quite different cases goes here too, don't encourage them!Vadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869967082266888535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-41270188700978410012009-03-27T12:33:00.000-07:002009-03-27T12:33:00.000-07:00It frustrates me endlessly that when dealing with ...It frustrates me endlessly that when dealing with trolls I cannot use appropriately rude words (since the banhammer had two faces), and so I am stuck trying to artfully reply, and then realize that it's all wasted on a troll.<BR/><BR/>I wish there was a "report asshole" feature.

So gratz on that.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of when I was doing the same thing for the same thing with my hunter at lvl 43. Some jackass 5 levels above me would /tell me to "leave lowbie noob" throughout a match.

She is actually at home doing some herbing as I speak. And we are going to do some leveling tonight. She likes the game, but doesnt want to go to a BG for a long time.

So often people are giant douches because they know that the internet affords them anonymity.<BR/><BR/>When people in battlegrounds are like that I do the same thing, I'll say one thing to let them know that their viewpoint is not unopposed. However, I won't get into a flame war with them because it's only going to cause you more frustration than it's worth. Numbers at the end of the match always speak loud enough, and if they can't see that lowbies can help with a win, they aren't worth your time.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837475356035680674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212440049893130519.post-32078621277507785072009-03-27T08:38:00.000-07:002009-03-27T08:38:00.000-07:00preach on brother Darraxus!PREACH!

And the other thing, she won't take shit from anyone either, and by the time that we'd be done with a person I think we'd both be sitting on a 3 hour game suspension.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to see that you're woman's game time was soured by some angst-ridden, pubescent teen with a superiority complex in WSG. It sucks for you because as I've ready your blog, you did some work to get her in the game, and find her niche with it, hopefully she'll learn to ignore this shit (yeah I'm a hypocrite on this one cause I don't ignore any slight), and you and her game time can be spent with less frustration.Brian W.
