What an Idiot!!!!!


Idiots like this should be banned from anywhere within a 5 mile radius of a computer game.

I despair at the nastiness i see on these boards sometimes - it just isnt necessary and its high time something was done about it!

Down with this sort of thing!

[/ QUOTE ]

Careful now!

Londoner, sweet heart, I can agree to disagree but I really don't see any difference in this thread to any thread about gold sellers infl farmers or abusive tells for that matter all are commonly discussed on this forum, this one in essence is no different to them, I see no problem as with those threads in exposing the stupid action the brought this thread about in the first place, thats what forums are for.

Personally I say no to all request which include farming, filing and so on, as I agree with the argument that it harms the game, thats up to me but I will defend and expose stupid actions when I see them and that is getting more and more common.

Sweet heart, if you cant see the difference, thats your problem not mine.

Also i hope you never want a bit of in game help, and as for stupid people, well.....

OK, this discussion isn't really going in a direction I like, in terms of atmosphere. I'm not going to close it yet, but I will if I feel at any stage that it is going to degenerate.

I've had that request, it was very politely put, from a pleasant enough guy.
[...]
I wasn't doing anything at the time, and since I don't lose anything, felt no qualms about helping him out.

[/ QUOTE ]
A friend of mine, who pretty much never PvPs nor does much badgehunting, got asked politely to do the same thing last week. He wasn't busy at the time (he was just about to log out) and was in the same zone as the entrance to the specific PvP zone, and the other guy asked politely, so my friend popped in there for 1 minute and helped him. I'm not quite as altruistic, but I'd probably have done the same. I've even filled for farmers a few times while at WW, even though I don't personally hold with their playstyle.

If someone asks politely and I'm not busy then I'll consider their request - if I decline (for whatever reason, even if I don't specify one) then I expect them to accept that gracefully. If they don't then I'll get a chance to exercise my wit/diplomacy extricating myself from their idiocy (often at their expense, though I never sink to personal abuse), or there's /ignore if I can't be bothered. As soon as they get abusive they get /ignored then reported, and hopefully another degenerate imbecile gets trimmed out of what is generally a friendly playerbase.

Admittedly I'm usually hidden from searches on every character (to avoid spammers and inf/PL beggars) so it doesn't pop up often.

mate, seriously, come on Union and join 'Union Badgehunters'. Channel is living proof of a fail community, ran by dictators.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, but on the bright side at least it's not as moronically unintelligible as Union's Arena channel most of the time I'll take draconian mods over UBH turning into a mess like that any day of the week.

I have also had the request, I did it because of one reason. He was polite, he sends one tell, he doesn't spam you, asking if you'll help. It's simple, say 'yes' or 'no'.

I think it's pretty telling that someone felt the need to come and rant about such a minor thing which doesn't affect them at all. If he'd been abusive I could understand, but if we're referring to the same person he was very polite about it.

What he did was no worse than "Hey, you want to team?" the only difference was that the player helping wouldn't benefit. That hardly makes him "THE EVIL THAT PLAGUES THIS GAME COMMUNITY".

6. Put it in.

Today I learned the excellent term "OMG FARMAGEDDON!". Nice one Tainted_Greek.

This thread was brought to you by Farmageddopops: the tasty cereal that's high in vitriol and repetition; low in content and sugar.

Woah, so he asked you just to get one badge and now you're all mad at him.

Let's put it another way..."Hey I need help with a mission, it would be really nice if you could help, thanks " is pratically the same as this. Just say "no thanks" if you don't want to help and say "OK" if you do.

I would probably say yes as it would show him that the community is nice and not ranters, like the OP IMO.

A "no thanks" ends it all. There you go. If you don't like it, just say no. It's not that hard. No need to make unecessary rants on a already plagued forum.

Yet missing the FACT that the Devs have said that farming is not how they wished ppl to play the game completely goes over your head.

It's not illegal though, so it still applies. If this is how these people want to play the game, that is not for the devs to step in and ban all farmers (everyone will hate the devs when that happens ).

So the devs wish...but wishes don't always come true. You could wish that that my post could be deleted, but that isn't going to happen either.

Also, could you provide a link to the devs saying this? You can't really say this without any proof that they've actually said it.

pshychabilly, I think you really need to get something over your head. This is how they want to play the game, and they are paying their subs like everyone else.

If you don't like it, don't face it. Say no and don't get yourself in a rage. Because, there's not much real point in it.

Also, where is the love in this thread. Everybody just hates each other here in this thread...

[/ QUOTE ]
You have a link or source for that "fact"?

Sure, the Devs have nerfed a few things that were popular with farmers (and a few things that weren't) for risk vs reward reasons, but it's a huge jump from there to what you're saying. Surely if the Devs didn't want farming at all then they'd increase drop rates on everything across the board and make inf completely trivial again, like it was pre-I9. Also, even if the Devs did express an absolute abhorrence for farming, then it's still not your job to police the game for it. If you think the player is doing wrong then report them - don't get abusive or you're committing a greater offence that is actually spelled out in the EULA (unlike farming...).

Actually I'm still at a loss as to how you think the issue here is farming - if we go with your shaky interpretation then all badgehunters are farmers.

In that case i am sure the devs are very unhappy with badgehunters which is the case we are talking about with all the lame "afk in pvp zones,afk farming gladiators,afk farming damage badges,farming badge missions" and so on and so on.

Badgehunters shame on you for not playing the game the way devs intended.

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't believe I said that, no. Whether an economy is supply-heavy, demand-heavy, or even so utterly skewed towards one of those that most players see it as broken, I think you'll find it still qualifies as "an economy". Pre-I9 was still an economy, it just didn't have scarcity as much of a factor as it is now (until HOs anyway).

So the way people originally beat Hamidon that wasn't in line with the devs vision of how he was supposed to be beaten is oh so bad now?

Just because the devs didn't intend for it doesn't make it bad. The devs opinion isn't the be all and end all, indeed it's the consumers opinion that matters.

People pay for a service, they follow the rules of that service AKA the EULA. NOT ONCE on the EULA does it say "NO FARMING" therefore it's ok.

Saying farmers are inherently bad is like me saying fire blasters who pick rain of fire are the devil, you're criticising another players choice in the game that is down to them and them alone. Indeed it's like giving someone abuse for their taste in music, which nobody deserves*.

*Except people who like dance music. Spawn of satan that you are .

All farmers should be shot on sight. Nasty, vile creatures.
