True enough! I am allowed to post links to things that relate to their current day events as they post things of me from six years ago I no longer have associations to.
But my comment was more along the lines of “AD forums are a horrible place in general and if you’re a newbie it can be offputting - even as a member of ten years it’s offputting” rather than “I do nothing wrong but they’re all so bad”. Sure, I posted a single link (aw crap) without thinking as I felt it relevant to the topic at hand but y’know… people dragging very old things to the forums to spite others because they believe someone to be X (so apparently “erper” / “erp apologist” / “supporter of that thing” / “gore fetishist” / more random weird crap) is a different thing.
All the PvE is content is crossrealm. You don’t need OOCers on a roleplaying server in order to do raids. And people that are serious about Mythic raiding, don’t pick a RP server anyway.
No RPer should feel ‘wrong’ about doing content. You’re paying a monthly subscription and ‘OOC content’ is part of that. You just have to RP. That’s it. Whether you RP 10 hours a day or 1 hour a week - that doesn’t matter. So long as you RP, and use the server what it’s meant for.
I’m not sure why they would just want to watch. I mean sure, they’re you’re friends - no harm done. However wouldn’t it be more fun if they tried to RP as well? Explain to them how it works and learn the ropes? If people wish to try RP and really want to spectate, sure. But people that have no intention to RP, but do want to watch…? Eh…
No offense, but I don’t like it whenever people say ‘‘oh I just want to watch’’. Especially if they are full-time OOCers. Kind of makes me feel that us RPers are some kind of circus to entertain people that don’t even RP. Kinda feels weird… or maybe that’s just me. I wouldn’t want a bunch of OOCers spectating on me, especially when I know and realize they’re doing it cause they just want to watch, and apparently have nothing better to do.
This is the same dumb argument that is brought forth by 20 IQ people like Taliesin that are on Argent Dawn ‘‘just cause it has a friendly community’’. This argument is about as weak as N’Zoth’s ending in 8.3.

I havent done a single bit of content with other ADers (Or RPers) since the end of WoD and Im still doing better/more than most OOCers on the realm lol
It’s all very annoying at times tbf, this forum. I try to be decent to everybody; I start neutral with strangers and what they do and say dictates how I think of them obviously, but I try to leave likes if something is positive no matter who it is. If I agree with their words I’ll say that. I don’t go out of my way to purposely get at people but yea, I do sometimes get agitated and respond as I’m spoken to, which I look back and realize I should try be the better person.
I, like everybody else in the world, have made mistakes, yes, and I try to work from them and improve but it’s very hard to be nice and move on and all that when people are constantly at my throat for things either out of my control, my bad wording or things that happened 6-10 years ago that holds nothing on me now. I’ve learned to keep the past in the past unless someone does something to me, friends or family and heck, I don’t care to look at past mistakes unless it’s related to something in the current day, to which I can look back and learn from it. For instance one image linked here several times to get at me is one I haven’t looked at for years of even thought about for all that time. Did I make a mistake getting it? Sure did. Did I change over time from the day it was created like everybody does? Sure did. Do I look back and cringe at some things? Of course. I’m not the same person I was 6-10 years ago and have gotten a new life since then. So why drag things up from so long ago to get at me because I have made mistakes, learned, moved on?
Also na, i don’t lie. Ever since something happened IRL i’ve been very iffy with lies and don’t even lie to mum on how I feel no matter how much it hurts her like mad. I ain’t gonna lie to make myself look better to people who have no influence on me online.
TLDR is that I’m trying to improve but it’s so damn hard to move on from past mistakes when other people are so obsessed with keeping them afloat.
This is how the world works, and you haven’t been decent to anyone in this thread other than the griefer ofc, latest exemple me giving advice and you retorting with “Pfa, you know how hard that is? You can’t make us do anything.” so yeah, if this is your nice attitude, people won’t be nice back.
I gave up trying to be nice to certain people when I will never get it in return having tried.
That really.
And I didn’t mean to sound harsh to you but I think we both sounded wrong in what we said looking back - You sounded as though it was easy and “just do it” as I said so I responded with “it aint that easy” and I guess that didn’t look too friendly, but I didn’t mean it in a harsh way!
I did not sound wrong at all, my advice was just that “just do it”, you being with the excuse, “Oh but it’s hard we can’t.” is the attitute of a defeatist, one who refuses to get better, and I have no sympathy for quitters who want people to pity them.
Well yea I’m leaving it at that! Shame about the misunderstanding but these things happen when you can’t convey tone of voice. I’ll move on at least as I keep trying to. I just hope others can do the same.
Please stop trying to derail yet another thread, please. I am sure every active forum user has already seen this routine a dozen times over and knows that you’re just looking for replies here
PS. “Actually, I can’t be lying because I never lie” is a very funny line of reasoning and also almost certainly not true
Bit late but yes. I’ve also long struggled with depression, including all the joyful extras it brings like anxiety or paranoia.
But the thing is… difficult as it may be, part of managing and surviving these conditions is doing the difficult parts of self-care such as getting up and doing a much needed task, or forcing yourself to engage in a hobby (RP), or socialise (RP, join a guild, lead the guild?), and so on.
Exactly this right here, don’t come it the excuse “Ah but you know, it’s hard….” No, you either break the damn Shell or stay curled up inside, if you choose the latter, I’m sorry but I won’t waste my breath with you anymore. It’s either do it or not, no excuses.
