In situations like that, I often have to think whether the person saying something like that is being sarcastic or not, because people use sarcasm alot and it's not easy to spot in written text unfortunately.
Suppose he could had put it bit differently but perhaps he's been flamed about adding before so can understand why he thinking and saying what he is.

Wrong forum? This is Mid/Prydwen forum, the screenshot makes it clear that picture is from Mid/Excal.

Like Belo said.. you have to be careful in text when being sarcastic. Most players simply don't understand sarcasm, or don't have a good enough grip of the language used to comprehend it, thus misunderstanding your intentions.

Oh, I see. But I still don't see the point of posting it here? To highlight the differences between the servers?

Well everyone can missunderstand ppl, it's not like he calls him names or such back. He clearly stated what how he understood it. Nothing wrong with that at all imo..

Aye.. personal experience has made me realise that often people who do not speak english as a primary language come across as rude because of grammar or one miss-placed word can make the sentence seem blunt.

I just take everything as though it were meant in good faith now (unless it's "oi, you're a donkey F*cking biatch wh0rE for killing my mate's Inf")

I really respect the guys who are poor at english and come here. I don't think I'd last long on a german or french server.

I am also in the habit now of saying "thanks mate, you saved me" instead of a plain "thanks." Saves any confusion.

As many others I see nothing wrong, I take it the person is also a stealther?
Which would furhter explain it..


Ps. Not to be a bitch, but what has this got to do with Mid/Pryd? Could care less that it dosen't "belong" here just wondering why you posted it, no offence or anything Coolan :) Ds.

To all the people saying "Why have you posted this here?" or "And?" there's quite a simple explanation to it. Don't allways be so quick to hit the reply button and spout the first thing that comes into your mind when in actual fact the person talking to you IS actually thanking you, and that picture shows a prime example.

Sarcasm is extremely hard to spot in text and can often only be identified by using smilies, these aren't allways used and often people can take instant offence to it. What I'm trying to say is just think before you type ;)

I once went 2 a french server for fun and was amazed that almost all of them could speak English to me when all i could say in French was "je suis Leuan". They were telling me where to xp and everything, and one even gave Tuts some armour :')
