It’s a sad reality where ppl want to win at all cost and their victories to mean whatever they need to. I have all the sympathy in the world for you. Rest assure I will never ask you to play something you don’t want to. Winning is not worth that much.

I’ll entertain you I guess.

“Getting cyber bullied for playing warrior, anet please do something”

Considering your post history and that you play a lot of PvP (claiming Diamond or higher) then it’s safe to assume you know how to block people and that getting mean PMs shouldn’t bother you much when it happens.
Sounds more like this is a “buff Warrior” thread.

“they say they want to come to my house and kill me and all that mean stuff”

I don’t think anyone would say they’re going to come to your house and kill you just for playing Warrior. If anything, they’d say you’re bad (with slurs, of course).
The last part of the sentence also kinda gives it away; if you’re actually distraught, I feel like you’d be more specific that just “and all that mean stuff”.

Well that’s the thing, they didn’t say “kill yourself”, they said they personally would go kill them. Allegedly.
Regardless, it’s not about how bad what they said is, it’s whether it’s real or not.

You will have to explain to me why the “wisdon” of the guy is relevant in any way shape or form?

I mean, I get that you can just walk away but how does it make any difference in describing what the people indulging in such sad behavior do?

Oh, you probably want to imply to the people talking of cyber-bullying that they play victim right? Sadly depending on the context it can be a lot more complicated than that…

I shall stop here before we go farther on that tangent. Let’s just say that I’m not sure I would ignore that behavior and blame the “victim” more than I would the offender.

Regardless wether OP is joking or not, the problem IS there.

The real question is, who’s fault it is?
- player not blocking entire pvp community?
- other players being toxic?
- customer support never doing anything about it?
- devs actually forcing classes into such sad state that players using that class get griefed?

If i posted a single screenshot showing what i was told in season 1 just for playing thief, i would get perma banned. But massive griefing like this in game is somehow acceptable. Same issue with afkers – nothing is ever done.

Toxic players are never going to go away, and will be a part of any community. Not saying to just turn a blind eye but honestly it’s just something to accept with the gaming culture from LoL, to COD, to WoW, GW2, and so on. Block em, give a few choice words if you want, and be on your way.

idk about you but i tend to queue into same people all the time

worst part is, if they “hate” you they actually afk in matches on purpose

do you really think blocking alone solves the issue in this case?

I’m not sure as I have not run into that problem, personally it’s been the opposite. Someone I had bad blood with is mostly on the other team, and then it turns into a sort of rivalry as we try to kill the other. Or I use his salt to get his team killed as he guns for me, and me alone over all the others ignoring his role.

No one is turning a blind eye. You have the tools to stop it: Block and Report.
No one is encouraging that behavior, but a lot of these people are just trying to be offensive for the sake of it; they might not be actually racist/sexist or whatever and if they are, they are a minority (at least in the US and the UK).

So, what is the problem here? If someone is offensive, you block and report them and move on. They will be dealt with.
These toxic people will always be everywhere, but I have to say, they are quite rare and far in between. This is not a big problem.

I’m not saying it’s a problem, I’m merely reacting to the idea that they are always going to be there with what it implied for me. I just don’t like to minimize something like that even if it’s everywhere and has always been there. I mean so is death and cancer… always there always going to be… I think you get the idea.

It’s not a matter of getting a thicker skin but a matter of just no minimizing the behavior anymore you would for someone racist or sexist. Of course nobody is going to die and ppl can just walk away but that is beside the point you just don’t do it and you don’t encourage or minimize it.

I can’t say that I’m at all surprised at the number of people apathetic about this kind of behavior. I think we all understand that this is a joke post, but jokes aside, this kind of behavior really harms a game’s community.

(New player wants to play warrior/thief/mesmer):
“Oh, this is so much fun! I always like peeveepee in other games, might as well try it out here!”
(Enter match)
“Boooo, what a kittening scrub! Piece of kitten, play a different toon!”
(Leaves match)
“Well I guess I’m not going to do peevekitten anymore. Byez! 0/”

This situation happens on a regular basis with games that put up with this behavior. Granted, this has happened due to the major imbalance issues seen in PvP, but the fact remains that people are still acting out in this manner. A lot of people I know don’t play LoL due to the terribad community, myself included, even having been players since the beta.

The way a community treats each other can have pretty big detrimental effects on their reputation, and will negatively contribute to the community’s existence.

But I’m prepared for the flames my post will inevitably receive. I’m wearing my flame kittenant gear, so bring it on.

@ Anomaly: I understand that, but I personally haven’t experienced this kind of hate in this game yet.
I’ve gotten maybe 2 angry PMs in like 2k hours and both of them were in WvW!

That being said, when something this seemingly rare happens, you can’t just quit because you think the community is toxic; it’s just one angry idiot that shouldn’t destroy your fun. You can block, report, and move on.

Lel, those troll posts tho

And apparently a great place to miss the point others are putting forth but I guess at least you are good at pvp…

Plox tell me moar about this elusive point that I, and not you poor sir, have missed. Then tell me moar about how I’m good at pvp, I think you were really onto something with that train of thought.

For reals tho ladydude, this isn’t preschool in a blue state. If you don’t like ‘fighting’ other people whom will inevitably get a leettle salty, the fantasy world where teamwork and camraderie prevail is right through the portal to Lion’s Arch.

It’s not a matter of getting a thicker skin but a matter of just no minimizing the behavior anymore you would for someone racist or sexist. Of course nobody is going to die and ppl can just walk away but that is beside the point you just don’t do it and you don’t encourage or minimize it.

Well, you win. No sane person argues with that kind of intangible answer. Gg lemming

Intangible? Interesting and a little scary…

You can’t grow thick skin vs afkers. You may ignore all you want but 4v5, 2v5 is a loss in most cases and no ignore/block would help you there.

afk =/= insults and threats

D’awwwwwww, right in the feels! Peeveepee is a place for player conflict, and conflict resolution.

Intangible. Or if you prefer, intentionally-excessively broad. OP trolololol’s at well, your expense, in regards to the deliciousness of all the tears IN-GAME. That is, in a video game, a virtual world, not real or relatable to real life issues, some might say intangible…… I digress, and your jump from people calling eachother names behind the security of anonymity, to racism and sexism, is absurd.

Fact is, if words, only words, from people you don’t know, have such a lasting and potentially negative impact on your fragile psyche; perhaps you ought to consider a buffered institution. Not mmo pvp. In the real, tangible world, often the victims of sexism, racism, actual unbased hatred are incapable of /blocking those administering said hate. Here, in the fantasy world, if you don’t like what someone says, you can literally excise them from your existence forever with the click of a button.

The clear, vast, unwavering distance between the topic at hand, and your self assumed soapbox is universes. Thus rendering said soapbox completely intangible. You have already fallen on your kitten. Remains to be seen if you are even aware of that yet.

I see a lot of cheap judgments in what you say but little substance regarding what you found “excessively broad” in my previous answer or what is absurd about making a parallel with sexism and racism that are merely forms of bullying. For someone telling me I’m intentionally-excessively broad you sure make a kitten good job of avoiding being specific.

Your argument boils down to, it’s only words get over it. I’ll start by answering that I’m not offended one bit at anything that has been said and it is not what make me reply. What does motivate me replying is the bad habit ppl have to minimize everything to try and excuse it. Like, it’s ok to just dump all you want on ppl on the Internet, it’s only words.

My using sexism and racism was merely a tool. Many would not accept to minimize sexist or racist discourses even if it would only be words they could just choose to walk away from and racism and sexism has always existed and will always exist. In other words, the argument used to minimize cyber bullying is crap or at the very least hypocrite. You would be sanctioned on this very forum for being racist which is just one form of bullying… If this is still “intangible” to you I don’t know what to say.

TL:DR The arguments used to minimize bullying no matter the form it takes are weak.
