flava0falcon Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 it don't care me if they say their lvl to only thing that does care me is when they liei must tell you, you have great english! on topic: i agree it's even more annoying when someone lies. English isn't his first language, obviously, as he isn't making spelling mistakes, but sentence structure mistakes. You shouldn't make fun of him for that.I wasn't making fun of him. I mean there is some sort of sarcasm there but it wasn't meant to make fun of him so if it offends you doomtom99 then im sorry and i can edit the post. And by the way English wasn't (and still isn't LOL) my first language. support new ghostly stuff here.I see RuneScape slowly turning into a sadistic version of WoW..signature your as this use backwards this read to enough smart were you If Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flava0falcon Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I hate it when this happens: P1) Nice Cooking Level. Me) Ty P1) Np I hate that for some reason! :wall: You hate it because you thanked them for something trivial and simple- congratulating you on a number in a computer game. The phrase "no problem" is used when something is a problem or a burden, but is done in the hopes of aiding another. The phrase is used to set the mind of the helped person at ease, so as not to feel as if they're being bothersome by asking for or just receiving unrequested aid. Basically, just saying "Nice X level" doesn't give one the right to say "no problem", because it is already self-evident that it isn't a problem. Ya, I hate it too. It's like they want a medal for congratulating you or something. That, is the third most annoying thing in the whole of Runescape (1. Autoers, 2. Scammers). The amount of times I've been playing and have suddenly sworn out loud in.. sheer disgust that the other player is such a... *calms down* Damnit!! It's not like I've benifited in any way from some [developmentally delayed] [puncture] of a backward American complimenting me! Okay, I think this is actualy above scammers in my most annoying list. -.-Instead of "NP" i use "YW" (means you welcome). support new ghostly stuff here.I see RuneScape slowly turning into a sadistic version of WoW..signature your as this use backwards this read to enough smart were you If Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's a nice way to brag, congratulating them first, rather then, "so what, mines 88" Doomy edit: I like sheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin11 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yes DOOMY, but isn't it a little sad that some people feel the need to brag at all? You will notice how players who are high levels, as in, lvl 95 and above, DON'T brag about it? This is because they don't feel the need to brag, they know they're good, they don't need to belittle other people to make themselves feel big. However, as Timo Cruz said in the film Coach Carter (infinite source of wisdom :P): "Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you....And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." In other words, don't belittle people, but also don't play yourself down, solely so that other people can feel big. This ain't good for the self-esteem!

Dazzuh Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yeah i don't like it, it just kills the moment and they don't feel they have achieved anything. I used to feel the same sorta thing when i was Alching for 94 Magic, i'd be like woot 10k alchs til 94! Then someone would say 3k alchs til 97 lol.. Or something like that, it's just not nice.

Even the other rantings can be silly, but I can see why those might be annoying. But "Did I ask his level" is just rude. He wasn't bragging or anything since it was lower. You're being watched.

slickmovedud Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 how does this annoy people???????? Somebody is just saying what lvl they have in that skill after you lvl up. i don't mind it b/c then it sets a goal in my mind to be as good as them. In fact i kind of like it.

Lady_Shahdie Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It doesn't entirely offend me. It depends the way in which they say their skill is better. The simple "I leveled to blank. Nice mine is blank" exchange wouldn't upset me or belittle me. But when they are the type that obnoxiously and rudely rub it in your face: "I leveled to blank. You noob I pwn your pathetic level blank, mine's blank," really peeves me more. Its best just to ignore jerks like that and enjoy your achievement never-the-less. ~Retired 13-July-2010~Thanks for the great memories folks :).

PuppyKing Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Put yourself in the opposite situation.. I'm 96 ranged, and I always feel REALLY awkward when I'm in that situation. For example, I get this alot: Person: yay! 75 range!! Me: Grats! Nice one ;) Person: Thanks, what's your range? Me: 96 Person: Then why patronise me -.- Whenever that happens I immediately feel bad. This happens all the time :wall: It's a tricky one though, because I have to say something like grats as I don't want to appear rude. Also, I don't want to appear to be a show off, but this happens by default :|. I used to get that all the time when I was getting my woodcutting to 99... It is a tricky situation that I usually *attempted* to get out of by saying something to the affect of "you're getting there!!" or "Just keep woking on it. You'll get there." It usually works..... Thats why if some one asks me my wood cutting lvl, I say 29. (when I am chopping on willows) Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I don't find this rude at all. I just like people doing that to quench my curiousity. As I cannot look anybody up without exiting the RuneScape window. I end up asking what people's levels are anyway. So it doesn't matter. I just say, "That's cool." Or, "Good job/Congratulations."
