All it comes down to is whether you'd want to go for a pint with someone

The likes of Belomar, Marc, Favail, heck, even VF are all people I'd quite happily get bladdered with.

The likes of Vinters and Chronictank (assuming their in-game/FH attitude is a fair reflection of their personalities) hmm...I think they would just bore me shitless.

Aye, if in game/fh attitude was a fair indication of rl personalities, god could you imagine going on the lash with em? Fck me, would have more fun poking myself in the eye with a needle.

That's why I said it wasn't personal.

Certain other fgs often roll over me when solo'ing or duo'ing or on the way to a siege, which gives the impression that for many of the people who claim to want fg vs fg rps> fair fights

These are the same groups that camp drop off points at sieges, will run in and bomb people at a siege but not actually bother defending the keep itself.

That's how they like to play, no problem, its the hypocritical whining on here when their fights get 'added' on that bugs me

yeah i agree the hypocracy and doublestandards are quite annoying. could write a really long post about that but im supposed to be packing so i wont

you do have to keep in mind its the leader of a grp (for hibs the bard usually) that decides if a soloer will be left alone or not. when i bard for a group i like to leave every soloer/duoer alive unless its a really nasty leecher, but when i play champ or eld i dont make that call even though id prefer to leave them. cant just say a group steamrolls you and everyone is in favor of doing that, always blame the bard

edit- nerf smilie limit :<

 

[Belomar]

so i defend the leet, and mock the casuals, while you defend the casuals and mock the leet. we are both bored at work it seems, but im the bad buy? that makes me a saaaaaaaaaaad () panda.

especially since the leet (apparently) are the biggest loosers IRL, and hence you should be the bad guy.

I didn't say "the leet" are losers (far from it), I only said that the dedicated/hardcore players who do not manage to make the transition to a casual playstyle at some point are the ones to pity. I don't consider myself "leet" (of which I am proud), but nor am I a casual player, so I run as much risk of not being able to make that transition as any other dedicated player. Also, I try not to mock people (leet or casual) just for the sake of it, only if they "deserve it" in my own humble opinion. I'm sure I am as much a hypocrite as many others.

(Btw, as for IRC discussions, I'm not online during workdays, but I will be tonight. )

Hard when it's (mostly) Mid groups

Of course I ask for it playing such an OP class, obviously a fg of rr9-12 are threatened by a solo Sorc

then blame the pachealer, same thing but i doubt everyone in grp likes to steamroll everything

and well, you say you duo sometimes aswell, if you dont make any mistakes with a sorc + 2nd mage duo, you should be able to keep a group occupied for quite a while. that ofc is unless they charge or have DI up to outskill you!

why? because i have to juggle more than 1 ball in my life?
i actually organise my life to get what i want done, be it going out with my mates or getting ml10 since i have scarce time to fit it all in.
Difference between me and you is that i am not selfish enough to leave my in-game friends in the lurch because i "could" go do something i can just as easily do any other day of the week rather than come online to spend a few hrs doing what i said i would.

if fh personalities were anything to go by i would assume most of you just hit puberty and were lashing out at the world

Where does Bracken mention he would leave his ingame mates to do something else?

 

[Calo]

Too seriously? No, I'm just bored at work. And I work in a different kind of institution, tyvm, and I do believe I am making a "real difference" in the field I am active. Who says I'm casual? I'm merely a defender of casual players. I do use IRC and I do spend oodles of time in-game and I do run in an opted and fixed group, etc, etc. I do try to go without the attitude that goes with it, however. (My IRC nick on QuakeNet is Baldgrim.)

nickname mole would suit u better!

you just know that sooner or later there will be an arti mob making a FH drama about ml9 pets being overpowered

No. Because you judge people according to how they prioritise playing a computer game.

i actually organise my life to get what i want done, be it going out with my mates or getting ml10 since i have scarce time to fit it all in.

You organise your life around a computer game and then act like a tosser to others who don't.

No. The difference between you and I is that you choose to put the game as a priority. I don't. Amusing that you regard putting real life totally first as "selfish". Funnily enough, I've heard people from non-rvr guilds do the same, which shows an attitude like that isn't about a preference for a style of play, but about an attitude towards life and a perspective on the game.

if fh personalities were anything to go by i would assume most of you just hit puberty and were lashing out at the world

Why? Because I think your attitude stinks and that you would bore me shitless over a pint? I think you need to revisit your theories of human development.

I've got this strange aversion to doing artis or in fact any pve with ML9 pet, I always get my Paladin out and tank em old style. Probably same thing that stops me focus pulling epic mobs and PL'ing chars

 

[Chronictank]

Wrong, i organise my life in order to fit what i can into the time i have.

Funnily enough there actually people behind those pixels you see on the screen, you have organised to meet them at x time to do x thing, and not show up. YOU wasted the time they have set aside to do x activity because you decided 10 seconds ago you want to go get pissed down the local.
yes i call that selfish
I am not turning down the offer because of a game, im turning down the offer to go do the same thing i would do any other night because the people i have organised x activity with have gone to the trouble to clear their schedule to be there the same time also.

if you leveled and equipped all those characters in your sig with such strong morales, i believe you when you say you're not a casualgamer

<hides>

i admire it though, but in pve i usually try to be as efficient as possible except when it comes to dragonraids, brought a tear to my eye every time he fell to the zerg of shrooms, but i needed the respecs quite bad :<

 

[Javai]

if you leveled and equipped all those characters in your sig with such strong morales, i believe you when you say you're not a casualgamer

<hides>

Let's see, I've got

Javai ML10 rr6 Paladin
Favail ML10 rr9 Sorc
Mordre ML10 rr4 Scout
Windraven ML10 rr4 Theurg
Katelyn ML10 rr4 cleric
Scorched ML10 rr4 Wizard
Hexie ML6 rr3 Heretic
Katyln ML5 rr3 cleric
Melting ML0 rr3 Wizard
Katya LGM SC'er
Fae LGM Alchemist

Every single one levelled without any PL'ing usually as a duo with me other half (though I did scout + cleric as a duo on my own man was that hard going past 40) though I freely admit to using BB and FoP to make it a bit less dull

Of the chars 4 are ToA'd equipment wise, rest I don't play. Discovered I don't like stealth side of game and one cleric and one wizzie is enough for me

Definitely not a casual gamer, but I do have full-time job. Luckily my other half is (almost) as addicted as I am so it doesn't cause relationship issues (except for when we scream at each other in rvr - doesn't matter what char I play its my fault when he dies )

 

[Vodkafairy]

you get to spam fh an awful lot during work though? im not even near as patient as you are, i like pve at times but that much would drive me mad

actually thinking of it, that list is quite scary. considering how much my other half (as you put it, sounds quite nice ) likes making alts and exping them together the normal way - guess im lucky she doesn't have much free time

better hurry to rr12 before that changes

 

[Javai]

I do this time of year

 

[Bracken]

Wrong, i organise my life in order to fit what i can into the time i have.

And so does everyone else. The difference is that you put the game first, and anyone else who doesn't gets branded like this:

Sums up every casual player
It is YOUR fault you dont organise events
it is YOUR GUILD's fault they cant get their act together
I work full time, go uni part time, have active social life but i organise things around my schedule
so that "like minded", people are in the same place at the same time

That's the problem. Your attitude to anyone who doesn't put this game at the top. You think because you have it as a priority in life then so should every other player and guild - and you put down anyone who doesn't.

Funnily enough there actually people behind those pixels you see on the screen, you have organised to meet them at x time to do x thing, and not show up. YOU wasted the time they have set aside to do x activity because you decided 10 seconds ago you want to go get pissed down the local.yes i call that selfish

Where the fuck do I say I would do that? If I make an arrangement to be there I will, whether in-game or real life - and if something comes up where I won't be there I let people know in good time.

Like I say, it's not a question of what your life priorities are. It's the attitude towards people who don't share the same priorities as you that stinks. It's that which makes me think you would bore me shitless over a pint - anyone who is up their own arse like that would...
