Question for the GMs/devs:

Some of these people lack the mental capacity to want nice things. And thats impossible to change.

You're kidding, right? I never can tell with you.

This isn't warfare, it's a "teen" rated video game that literally has unicorns and faeries. And if you do consider ooc abuse a form of warfare, then... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always found that kind of reasoning stupid. Im not getting on the verbal diahrrea debate here which im sure exists.

My grudge is this typically american way of looking at things, which is fortunatly not shared by all americans. It goes like this: Little Jimmy plays a game where he has to violently kill 50,000 human looking characters to advance in levels. Parents / rating agency are fine with this. Then some foul, dangerous to children monster types "fuck" in a chat channel that Little Jimmy can see. Obviously this will mentally scar Little Jimmy forever and something must be done about this foul person.

happened to me on a counter strike server, where i couldnt say fuck cuz that was bothering little jimmy and his headshotting skills. I was told this was a christian server and i couldnt say fuck on voice. I lol'd thinking it was a joke, and at the next fuck i was banned from server.

I don't understand why you quoted me, or what this has to do with the thread at all.

Because you are saying its a teen game with unicorn and fairies, not a warfare game, and the core of the gameplay is kill, kill, kill.

I can never tell if you are a super elaborate marathon troll or youre really serious with this shit you say.

The point I was trying to make was that EQ is a game, not warfare.

It's just silly for people to look for parallels between EQ and real war in an effort to validate their annoying public spam about their penises. That I even have to explain that kinda makes me sad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And theres a psychological element to games, they are right. Now as to how this is done, i may or may not agree, but its not a ridiculous concept.

Engineers in Warhammer were so op that i did battlegrounds naked, without any armor and led the front line to the other team. After a while and people started to recognize me, i could stand 10 feet in front of my team, alone, and make 10-15 players back away from me.

Thats mainly psychological effect from a naked player not being afraid of 10 players and them knowing they will probably die if they try me, I could have done the same with armor on, but being naked was the psychological warfare part.

If there's one thing that EQ lacks, it's naked psychological warfare.
