I really don’t understand people. I try to be as good as I can, and all I get are insults.
There are so many weird things I don’t understand, like people using ‘autism’ as an insult (it’s not a very good insult, not to mention how offensive it really is, when you think about it - not to me, but actual autistic people).
Using honor level as insult is a mystery to me. There are mages that always say ‘mister honor level (my honor level)’ to me, and they have so many characters, ignore doesn’t really help, they just join with another character and say it again.
Last BG, I was simply pragmatically mentioning, that the BG is not winnable, after wondering why it’s always their whole group that’s suddenly at me when I only try to attack an individual.
Someone started lolling at me and using my honor level as some kind of reasoning for their insulting behaviour. They asked why am I ‘so salty’ although ‘ur’ (sic) honor level is (my honor level).
As if honor level means ANYTHING more than just having wasted life in BGs.
Is there any way to hide this thing, as people, for some reason, start assuming things, attacking me based on it, and unfairly assigning some kind of weird obligations upon me based on a number!
I would appreciate this information. Thank you.
P.s. I don’t expect anyone to explain how this kind of griefer-bully mindset works, that everything has to be used as an insult, even the honor level…
I can’t expect to ever understand how toxic and “wanting-to-insult-others”-type mindset works, but if I could at least get the factual information of how to hide my honor level so I won’t constantly be insulted or shamed based on THAT, would be helpful to know.
P.P.S. Don’t think I am a saint or anything, I do understand ‘insulting someone’, when there is a clear -reason- for it. If someone treats you badly, if you disagree deeply and things heat up, if someone is being really un-intelligent although you expect them to be intelligent, and just can’t get your point and you get frustrated, if someone is being deliberately a jerk, etc.
I can understand if two people crash their cars into each other and start yelling at each other. I can understand if someone does something wrong, dangerous, illegal, unlawful that endangers your life or disturbs your peace, and -then- you want to insult them. I can understand that.
What I don’t get is why is ‘insulting / griefing / bullying someone as much as possible’ the FIRST reaction, before you know the other player at all. This is something I just can’t fathom - what kind of a human being has this kind of pre-determined attitude towards fellow human beings they don’t even know at all?
Look, if I do something to you that insults you or makes you angry (even though I don’t mean to), I get it if you get angry at me and some expletives slip by.
But it’s like I say “it’s a nice day today” and people start talking about my honor level and how they can’t understand how someone with this honor level can say something like that or ‘be so salty’. I just don’t understand it at all.
I know it’s useless to plead people to stop it - toxic people gonna be toxic - but if I could find adequate methods of avoiding being treated this way, when ignore isn’t enough, I would appreciate the information.
Oh, for those people whose mind is now filled with words like ‘cry’, ‘snowflake’, ‘l2p’, ‘git gud’, ‘moan’, or not being able to stand the heat and staying out of the kitchen, you can save your keyboard and this forum - I have heard it ALL before.
This post is not about crying or complaining, it’s not about blaming anyone - I only want -information-, that’s all. As a sidenote, I am simply astonished at the instant toxicity of some people, and expressing my own inability to understand the toxic mindset.
If you feel this post is aimed at you, you probably are toxic and could use this opportunity to reflect and maybe wonder if this kind of path leads to anything good.
Proving your toxicity by writing something ‘clever’ (but toxic) to me, is only going to waste your time and make me look like a winner. And you don’t want that, do you?
P.S. I just remembered another really mysterious incident, where even OTHER players couldn’t understand this rogue’s sudden toxicity. I hadn’t said anything bad, and yet the rogue looked at my honor level and my 0 rating, and couldn’t understand how both could exist simultaneously (simple: I never play anything rated).
They started accusing and blaming me and using foul language and clearly angrily typing so much text about it, like I am not -allowed- to have 0 rating with my honor level!
It’s like this honor level only leads me to trouble, when all I want to do is play. People can’t somehow handle my honor level without wanting to insult me or expect some kind of angelic behaviour from me, although I am only a very frustrated human with very human tendencies to let my temper out in chat sometimes, when I get ganked by rogues and huntars.
Could people just get a grip and see my honor level as just a number that doesn’t mean anything, please? Thank you. You don’t have to get weird about it or use it to try to control me or push expectations on me based on a number. It just means I wasted some time in BGs, that’s all. There are players with higher honor levels, so what’s the big deal anyway? Sheesh.
