Yeah well the thread was a topic that has been beat to death over this last month. Pretty annoying to see it pop up pretty much from this same guy every other week.

My fault too.

Back on the original point of the thread, I think some people that play this game will come off as jerks, arrogant, disagreeable, and other people won't. However, playing a class that can have a bigger impact on more players, such as a bard AE kiting a ton of mobs, is going to be noticed more often. Not all bards that AE kite are jerks, but some are. Be civil, give people the benefit of the doubt, and if they respond with malice, they probably aren't even worth your time any way. It's a darn computer game, there's already enough real life stress.

I've always felt that playing nice and going with my gut worked the best for me and made the least amount of enemies/greatest amount of friends on the server. Sometimes your goals and activities might interfere with others on the server, and if they do, see if you can work things out. Otherwise, what's the point of playing a game that involves relying on other people...unless you are one of those mentally disturbed people that enjoys making others feel sad for some reason (you probably have some real life issue to sort out).

However, nerfing classes based on a couple unruly players seems a little bit like overkill, even when it wasn't a classic nerf. Send tells to people you have disagreements with, be civil, and if they aren't civil, either ignore them or let others know about them with tangible evidence attached. Things catch up to dishonest or rude players.

The fact you think this is a topic that has been beat to death over the last month shows you didn't get the point of my first post at all. Want me to sum it up for you? You treat bards like shit by default, you'll make em ALL into douchebags instead of just some.

Yes it is everybody but the bards fault that the bard is treated badly. Let me tell you two things, how you take it is up to you. No character is created hated, you bring it on yourself. Lastly, you are taking an online emulator of an ancient game far too seriously, get over it.

When I play my bard people treat me with respect if not reverence.

Incase you were wondering people dislike you because of your general demeanor not because of the class you play (you're a dick).

Everyone else is more or less choosing to group in a zone that bards are known to kite in and then complaining about it. If all the people grouping in OT moved to lguk they would get better exp and have a chance at items dropping.. but hey, lets sit in OT and complain about bards.

It wasn't "classic" to have ONE BARD swarm kite the whole Overthere zone during Live. It was the NORM for people to group, for people to solo as well as the quad kiters. They ALL were able to live a hell of alot more harmoniously in a zone where one selfish prick didn't tie up all the mobs, and then take half an hour to do so.

Oh, and then that selfish prick starts up spontaneous monologues in OT ooc, lamenting about oh how EVERYONE HATES him and he's SUCH a martyr and SO FALSELY ACCUSED and he's is just about the NICEST BESTEST person on the whole server!

If you have to start up a defensive, spammy diatribe on OOC (and here) with your propaganda, to try to make people like you, you must have a justifiably horrible rep.
