The above is an example of the massive stupidity blasted across most games in a general chat situation.

 

It has even been taken a step further now in WoW is "Anal" [Skill]

Examples:

Anal "Intimidation" <- Hunter Beast Mastery Talent

Anal "Scorch" <- Mage Fire skill

They will sit there for 6 hours straight using Anal and just about any skill known to wow after it....

Seriously how friggin stupid do you have to be to think this is funny or a good idea.

 

So yes OP many of us DO know what your saying... and you are right.

Now 6 hours of that will most likely get on my nerves but Id just filter it out. But Id have to say Anal "Scorch" was quite funny when i first read it. . It doesn't take someone stupid to think that its funny,I guess some of us are blessed to think that most everything is funny.    I love to laugh that's why I think that most things are funny.

Many great players just decided to run through to check out everything, some jsut rush kauz its a chalenge.

Anyway if you like whining so much, and are such a "back in the days" bit**, i guess nto many people will be missing you during these 2-3 weeks

 

No, not whining, just making an observation about that type of gamer and how unpleasant their presence is in any MMO. We didnt use to have that when MMOs and computers in general were a little more exclusive. Now everyone's an "expert".

It's pretty funny tbh and easily avoided by waiting the requisite week or so for them to move back to AoC or WAR.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying a sense of accomplishment, Im all for that. There IS something wrong with announcing everything you do in OOC.

Some who have posted here understand the difference.

So you elitist cliquish snobs back in the day didnt brag openly about your many accomplishments in game and you wish all the new kiddies who do would just leave, thats about all Ive been able to extract from your points here.
 

Im glad to say I belong to neither group you just described. Both sound pretty lame.

I understand what your saying, but for the most part, these chat channels all had a purpose at one point in time.

General/OOC Chats were used by new players as a means to get questions answered by veteren players.

LFG chats are used to look for groups

and Defense chats were used to pinpoint pvp battle locations.

I don't remember reading the game manuals.

General Chat - This will be used to tell dumb ass jokes for 24 hours day in and out. Please post all chuck norris and anal jokes here.

I promise If it were in the manual this is a game I would have steered clear from.

Aside from that, we shouldn't have to disable chats due to stupid ass players. They should just stop being stupid, use an IQ higher than their shoe size and not post chuck norris jokes over general chat. Period.

The more time passes in MMO's the mature are getting slowly stomped out by the mentally retarded.

Nothing like that, the communities were better. I've never felt the need to brag about achievments in game. Its a game. As I've said, people that do have some issues IRL I would imagine. I like a friendly, open and cohesive community. Not a bunch of self obsessed people who only care about themselves and what THEY can have and what THEY did.

Sorry you took what I said out of context.

Well I intentionally took it a little out of context to make a point, but what were talking about here is the gradual degredation of society of large, or maybe just your perspective since you're getting older. Im 29 and I started playing SWG when I was around 24 I think. I LOVED the community on that game, it was awesome. Now its rare that I meet someone in an MMO that I dont feel the intesne need to bitch slap within 5 minutes of meeting them. So yes I do understand your frustrations Im just playing devils advocate a bit. I seem to think its either the overall population that is changing or maybe just my expectations are different, or maybe IM different. Whatever the case, I tend to think things are pretty much the same as they've always been, but you just cant go home again.

And while Im thinking of it the real blame for this problem should be placed on the developers. They design these games as glorified single player experiences now to cater to just about anyone. There is no real sense of community because every player is expendable and serves no real unique role in the community. In SWG we had players who could really stand out and shine and make you think "wow if this person wasnt around this server would suck." That could be for any multiple reasons. And you wouldnt go acting like a jackass to everyone because you depended on other people to be succesful. Not so in todays games. There needs to be more game design factors that eliminate this type of behaviour. Because its not against the TOS and the players have nothing to lose.

Yeah the channels used to have a purpose in games but some chat in games still work as intended. . I play FFXI and  There is nobody doing any of that stuff in the game.   We usually just keep our jokes in the linkshell chat or group chat. 

General chat to me= post anything you'd like right here cuz its General........ OCC chat= You can post anything here that is out of character.   Now if they were posting jokes on the help then I would think it was wrong. Because its only for questions only not jokes.

But I think its quite selfish to stop people from using there freedom of expression and speech just because you personally don't think its funny. That would be taking away peoples rights, which nobody should do in game or in RL.  They arn't forcing you to listen to them you have the option of filtering it out. Just like in real life if someone is staying somthing that is annoying or whatnot you have the option to just get up and leave.

LOTRO is still one of the best communities out there.  Yesterday I was playing WOW on an RP server and some character that runs by asks me, "You gay, bi or straight?"

Like wtf does that have to do with me running to a quest.  Wierd.  Maybe he was asking my character and not me though.  So maybe I missed a good rp moment,  I don't know.
