Problem won't stop without names imo

**Reincarnate** · 12-29-2011, 04:56 PM

I don't see any instances of people dismissing/being mean to newbies. If anything, it's been a sort of mantra lately to be kinder to newbies so that the community doesn't seal itself off and wither away from entropy.

But if you're a retarded newbie, then oh yeah, you'll get pooped on.

PS as I hold the Death Piano AAA, I still lay claim that I'm #1 (semitrololol), and I don't think you suck. Unless you won't pick up my poop. In that case, you shall forever feel my wrath and fury.

I was under the impression this was becoming less of an issue as of late?

Welcoming you into my siggy.

On an honest note: It's honestly not just happening to the newer players either. Everyone trolls everyone. I'm as guilty of this (if not one of the most guilty) as anyone but holy shit has it gotten bad.

Sit back and sip some tea people. Relax and try to make the forums a little more enjoyable for everyone else.

This was mainly what i was getting at, thanks for putting it in better terms.

I like Middie when he posts like this. He's a troll, but he's a good-natured, honest troll.
Sort of like the guy who will rob you, but then bows courteously and thanks you for your donation before running off with your wallet.

**PrawnSkunk** · 12-29-2011, 05:08 PM

I haven't been posting in these drama threads in fear of being "attacked" (see: rule thread). welp.

Maybe it's just me, but I have yet to see one incident of someone directly targeting newbie for harassment simply for pleasure whenever I have been in the forums or in prochat.
However, to me this "problem" just seems like people complaining to fix global warming; no one is addressing how to fix it.

Since OP stated that the problem is caused by people claiming to be "IM #1 OMFG ROFLMAO U ALL SUK!!!", that must be a very exclusive group.

For better or for worse, pointing fingers seems to be the most effective and immature way to face this problem - but through privacy. If people really have a huge problem with this sort of stuff, REPORT IT to an administrator.. don't make a thread about it.

**MagicCarpetRide** · 12-29-2011, 05:10 PM

I'm a general douche but my semi-trolling is not exclusive to "newbies." Also Runescape sucks.

**One Winged Angel** · 12-29-2011, 05:15 PM

Just scanned avrank list for top 50 players atm, the only one that I've seen trolling newbies from time to time is Plan. But he trolls everyone so lol.

**RuGuru** · 12-29-2011, 05:26 PM

The message is clear but what do you intend people to do? You can't tell people not to troll. As long as people are behind their monitors, they will do, say, and act whatever they feel like at their own expense.

And I know your intentions are good OP, but lets be realistic; as long as you're on the internet, you risk being flamed, internet bullied, or harassed. The only solutions that come to mind to solve these problems is if each troller had an epiphany of some sort, or the moderators decide to start handing out warnings and do temporary bans on people who decide not to behave.

I love you, but if we have to LOOK HARDER to find the trolling, it's obviously not happening much. I'm with OWA on this, I thought the trolling was getting a massive slow down.

Runescape is no longer in my life haha, this name is 7 years old.

No, what I mean is that people aren't seeing it, since they seem to be blind. I just didn't want to be a dick.

p.s. yeah it isn't as bad as it used to be, it still is there though.

The FFR community is a lot better than many others I've seen. I haven't been around too much to notice what kind of trolling goes on around here, though. I think we've got it good on FFR.

Never. Elitism basically ruins the fun of the game and I don't really see people bragging about having avrank 1.

Quote:

News flash to everyone, just because you are good, does not mean you are the only player who uses this game. I played back when people actually HELPED beginners, not shunned them.

If someone gives me a PM, I'll answer back. I even received a PM from someone asking me to play 3020 for them to unlock Metro and I respectfully explained why the requirement is the way it is and politely said no. I think the problem is that the "beginners" you talk about feel intimidated to speak to the top players.

Quote:

I have seen everything from people ignoring newbies completely, to people telling newbies to gtfo. This is starting to make me sick, this used to be a place where everyone could enjoy good games and good music together, now it is just like high school, and the #1 ranks are the "popular kids".

I haven't really been seeing this happen.

Quote:

you deserve just as much respect as anyone. I may not be famous, or the best, but I will personally NOT stand for this, and I guarantee there are plenty of veterans who agree and who have not shown themselves yet.

Just like how members deserve to have a voice and deserve respect for being a part of the community even if they aren't an admin or whatever. I don't really see the point of this thread. Elitism should definitely be reduced and I agree with that, but this thread sort of sounded hostile with no clear purpose.
