After successfully having a good time for about a
month, I finally, finally had a negative PSO experience last night.... His
double saber was went missing after he died. Even though, suspiciously, one of
our party members vanished immediately after the incident, that guy made it out
unscathed.... Not only did he harass me and the other remaining party member,
jumping at him, shouting, "THIEF!"... but when the Forest Boss stepped on me,
refused to revive me, thus wasting a good bit of time, since I got no EXP from
it!... He wouldn't listen to anything I said, even though he listened to the
other guy.... He claimed it was his only weapon, and since he was a Lv 40+
Force, I gave him a (useless to me) Rod of Laconum
(sp?)
...I'd like to mention that the
third person died and his weapon was better
(?)
...Perhaps I'm being naive but I
don't see the point.
...After that, I
went to another game 'cause I wanted to talk with someone and lo and behold,
THAT GUY had joined THAT SAME GAME under a different name!... -_- After trying
to reason with him for another 20 minutes or so, he stopped listening to me. He
also claims that I stole another weapon of his, a Needler or something like that
TWO WEEKS ago!
...I checked my Card
List 'cause I get cards from all the nice people I meet and gee, I never got a
card from him.... Yet, yesterday, one of the first things he did upon joining
was hand out his card.... At this second meeting, I pointed this fact out and
the dummy says that he never got mine and LOOKS in his Card List!... The card
files are tied to the character save files!... Of course he didn't have my card
with this other character!
...In order
to try to prove my innocence, I even offered to give him my strongest weapon (A
Wisk something) and he just scoffed at it. I continued to try to reason with
him but he was too hard-headed. Another guy joined on, a Lv40+ Force. This
same rude person asked why he was playing in "HARD" if he could play "VERY HARD"
(requirement of Lv40+) and was told that being a Force, he had only like 276HP.
Rude guy said that Force are for backup.... Force said he sometimes played with
people who didn't know their "roll." Rude jumped on this and said, "role," said
Force couldn't spell. Then he laughed at 276HP and said Force are for wimpy
little girls.... Not only is Force the Hardest Class to use but HE has a
Force!
...I don't remember who played
the Race card first but it descended into White-bashing and Mexican-bashing,
complete with all kinds of racial slurs and negative stereotypes.... and stuff
like that and Force even gave his phone
number!
At this point, I knew I was
dealing with an Entirely Unreasonable Person and left.... Now I see why the
Japanese people always ignore anyone marked 'E' for English.... And I gave him
all that stuff, too.... With Europe on-line, too...will it get any
better?
I, too, had a weapon stolen
from me.... Even if my next best weapon was like half as strong...I didn't
accuse everyone of taking it. Somehow, I was able to understand that 1) It's a
game and 2) People are selfish and will do things like
that.
One blemish on the experience
like this can wipe out the numerous kind acts of others, where they would give
me hand-me-downs or money or (in one
case!)
...But I will still play on.
Yes...But I somehow don't think I've heard the last of this Rude
guy...
After successfully having a good time for about a
month, I finally, finally had a negative PSO experience last night. Some person,
who shall remain anonymous, accused me of being a thief. His double saber was
went missing after he died. Even though, suspiciously, one of our party members
vanished immediately after the incident, that guy made it out unscathed. He
didn't breath a word about him. Not only did he harass me and the other
remaining party member, jumping at him, shouting, "THIEF!" and then suddenly at
me! but when the Forest Boss stepped on me, refused to revive me, thus wasting a
good bit of time, since I got no EXP from it! What a bastard! He wouldn't listen
to anything I said, even though he listened to the other guy. I tried to reason
with him for about 10 minutes, I'd say. He claimed it was his only weapon, and
since he was a Lv 40+ Force, I gave him a (useless to me) Rod of Laconum (sp?)
as well as 200,000 meseta. He still wasn't satisfied (remember, this is only a
game!) and went off all pissy.
I'd like to mention that the third person died and
his weapon was better (?) than a Double Saber. Yet, he fails to give me credit
for not taking that. "Anger clouds the mind," indeed.
Also, at the time, I was Lv51. Why would I bother
stealing a weapon from a lower level character? Perhaps I'm being naive but I
don't see the point. By now, my stuff ought to be better than
his!
After that, I went to another game 'cause I wanted
to talk with someone and lo and behold, THAT GUY had joined THAT SAME GAME under
a different name! What luck I have, huh? -_- After trying to reason with him for
another 20 minutes or so, he stopped listening to me. He also claims that I
stole another weapon of his, a Needler or something like that TWO WEEKS ago!
What!? I didn't hear anything about that! Jesus Christ...
I checked my Card List 'cause I get cards from all
the nice people I meet and gee, I never got a card from him. (I usually wait
until they give first.) Yet, yesterday, one of the first things he did upon
joining was hand out his card. So, I gave him mine. At this second meeting, I
pointed this fact out and the dummy says that he never got mine and LOOKS in his
Card List! Well, gee! The card files are tied to the character save files!
They're not online! Of course he didn't have my card with this other character!
I'd never met him before!
In order to try to prove my innocence, I even
offered to give him my strongest weapon (A Wisk something) and he just scoffed
at it. I continued to try to reason with him but he was too hard-headed. Another
guy joined on, a Lv40+ Force. This same rude person asked why he was playing in
"HARD" if he could play "VERY HARD" (requirement of Lv40+) and was told that
being a Force, he had only like 276HP. Rude guy said that Force are for backup.
(Gee, he knows everything about this game!) Force said he sometimes played with
people who didn't know their "roll." Rude jumped on this and said, "role," said
Force couldn't spell. Then he laughed at 276HP and said Force are for wimpy
little girls. What a hypocrite! Not only is Force the Hardest Class to use but
HE has a Force!
From there, it got ugly. I don't remember who played
the Race card first but it descended into White-bashing and Mexican-bashing,
complete with all kinds of racial slurs and negative stereotypes. >_< They
claimed 'Oh, I could beat you up!' and stuff like that and Force even gave his
phone number! O_O
At this point, I knew I was dealing with an Entirely
Unreasonable Person and left. I probably should have left earlier, huh? -_- I'm
entirely too hopeful. Now I see why the Japanese people always ignore anyone
marked 'E' for English. One bad experience is enough. But I wish there was
someone, somewhere I could complain to on-line. That is entirely unacceptable
and inappropriate. It also ruins the community. We have to blame item thieves
for that, too. But hotheads shouldn't go around accusing innocent people. And I
gave him all that stuff, too. Ingrate. With Europe on-line, too...will it get
any better?
I, too, had a weapon stolen from me. But you know
what? I didn't make a big fuss. Even if my next best weapon was like half as
strong...I didn't accuse everyone of taking it. Somehow, I was able to
understand that 1) It's a game and 2) People are selfish and will do things like
that.
One blemish on the experience like this can wipe out
the numerous kind acts of others, where they would give me hand-me-downs or
money or (in one case!) buy me a weapon! Is even the act of reviving now to be
considered an unusual act of generosity?
But I will still play on. Yes...But I somehow don't
think I've heard the last of this Rude guy... -_-
