Sure...finding the easiest and most efficient way of using game mechanics to win is the idea. I don't fault them on that.countjimula wrote:I think you are being a little harsh, many are players that just look at the game mechanics and see the easiest least time consuming way to win. Sure they destroy the fun in the game in the process, but if the players acting in their own self interest makes the game boring the fault is with the game mechanics, not the players taking advantage of them.Sir Nino wrote:Yep. They are the types with no real life and wouldn't have a thing to say to you to your face otherwise.
They enjoy the success they have in a game because they apparently lack it in life. I feel sorry for them.
P.S. They realize it...they just don't care. They never allow anyone to grow to make it a game, competitive or fun for anyone BUT them. Tyrannical rule is all they know...but try and play the honorable nice guys card...it's hilarious because anyone with half a brain can see them for who they really are. I've seen it time and time again in any game with PvP. Greedy greedy greedy and arrogant.
But what I DO fault them on and brings me to the quoted conclusion I had previously (that I have also seen in many other PvP based games from players who usually are "hard core" elitists) is their attitudes towards and treatment of others within the game. Mainly when it is unnecessarily just to be rude, arrogant, and down right stubborn * because they have FAR superior numbers.
You CAN maintain control and better maintain loyalty without threats or unnecessary reactions. And Diplomacy can be just as powerful, if not more so than instant violence. They don't seem to grasp this concept, nor even attempt to.
