What ever happened to...

[zammymammy]

Playing the game for fun? I make it a point to be somewhat generous (well I used to, before unbalanced trade).

 

I was out killing raw chickens for the new summoning skill, when in comes a guy (I won't state names, but he was lvl 117 with a black cav, lava cape, and a whip).

 

"I need chickens, kids", he states.

 

I don't take to being called a "kid". I worked hard for my level, what makes him so special?

 

I point this out, to which he responds, "shh. Don't make fun of yourself, nerd."

 

I'm level 90 with fair armor. He's a level 117 with the runescape equivalent of WoW epics. I decided to not argue too much with him (it was like boxing with an armless man).

 

But he continues calling me a nerd. I got my chickens, and before I left decided to give out 20k to a level 36 that needed it for a new weapon. I remembered the unbalanced trade rule and declined, apologizing to him. 117 overhears this and responds with, "maybe thats why you have such garbage armor givin money out to people sad sad sad".

 

Whatever happened to playing this game for fun? Why can't people be generous without getting mocked? Sure he's a level 117, but what gives him the right to diminish me when i'm trying to be civil and helpful? It's sad to see this kind of thing, high levels that think they can talk down to people because they have better armor, or spent more time on a skill than others. "HEY EVERYONE, LOOK AT ME! RESPECT ME! I MAY HAVE NO SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE WIT OF A 7 YEAR OLD, BUT LOOK AT MY ARMOR!!". Now keep in mind, this is not directed at ALL high levels (I know many that are very kind and helpful people), but come on!

 

What really gets me is how this guy appears to play the game just for status, not for fun. You don't have to be high leveled to enjoy the game. Make friends, have fun! Don't spend the entirety of your time lusting after money.

 

Whew! Long rant, kind of veered wildly around, but I feel a little better now... :oops:

Lmao at that.

When the lvl. 117 is probably 10 years old irl.

 

 

 

Yeah, sometimes life is a female dog. Embrace it and imagine his head on the next chicken you kill. O:)
