Liked the title eh? :lol:

 

 

 

Why do people find the need to kiss [wagon] whenever they see a higher level, a person with a skillcape or a person with a rare?

 

I can understand most of the times when they a rare-wearing person they generally want geepees but there's the trade restrictions so they probably won't get much!

 

 

 

I really want to "hear" your opinions on this.

It's just a general rule. If I try to get Aviansie kills at the fastest pace possible (yes that means killing everything) I get called a noob every 3 minutes.

 

 

 

If a level 5 started following you and says hi, what would the first thing on your mind be?

I really don't see much of what you're talking about in-game anymore. I used to see a lot of it, but I think the main reason was they (the beggar) were hoping they'd get free stuff for being nice. Of course, it is also possible simply to misinterpret a genuine compliment as "[wagon]-kissing," as you phrase it.

More often then every 3 minutes :evil:

Well, when people see me with my partyhat they usually ask me for moneymaking advice and such, so I think what most of them are after is knowledge. And they of course rationalise that asskissing will give a better answer.

^I agree. Back in my noob days when I didn't have any money, I would sometimes see an incredibly wealthy player walking around in f2p and I would kindly ask him for advice on making money. A few of them were nice, telling me to train up and kill some monsters or get money off woodcutting. But many of them were far too used to the low level kissing up to them and just told me to "gtfo" because the expected me to begin begging them. I didn't know that, I thought I was one of th few with the brilliant idea of asking rich players how to make money. I thought they were just being jerks by saying no. Eventually this ruined my opinion of high level players and I set a goal that when I was level 60+ I would never be like them. Well now I'm 114 and I can see their perspective. Whenever I log onto f2p, the beggars swarm. Even in members when I go to Clan Wars, the level 40s follow me and beg me to join their clan so they can wtfpwn an enemy clan. So now my opinion of low levels has been degraded. I try to take the whole thing with an open mind, but it's difficult when the asskissers and flat-out jerks combine.

It's just a general rule. If I try to get Aviansie kills at the fastest pace possible (yes that means killing everything) I get called a noob every 3 minutes.

"What's the closest area with a good chance of horrible, choppy/stabby death?"

 

 

 

Actually, I'd reply with hi as well.

I don't know, but those people totally disgust me. I can't travel anywhere without someone crawling up my [wagon]. I'm not even responding anymore. Usually those people have the IQ of a peanut.

 

 

 

Honestly, get a life.

I'll pay a complement to someone if they have something nice.

 

 

 

But then if they act like a total jerk like the post above i'll just tell them to stfu.

I've been getting lots of compliments on my Armadyl chestplate at aviansies lately, I always reply with a generic "ty." I suppose they're just trying to be nice, but it's annoying.

come on who dosent like a nice nice * whatever *

Yeah, I get compliments on stuff, then I get asked questions about it. A lot of them the person could answer themself...and answering the same things over and over gets really annoying.

 

 

 

People who follow you around are annoying too. Though it used to happen a lot more than it does now, people who follow me spamming me with "hi" or asking me if I want a bf (which is really pathetic, by the by) are just obnoxious. And of course when you ignore them they can't rationalize that maybe your public chat is off >.<

 

 

 

Sometimes I just say hi, if I get complimented I give a generic ty and if someone asks if I want to be their gf I'd say "if you give me a phat" (before the trade limits and all)...sadly there were no takers :P

im not an asskisser, but i will complement someone for a nice accomplishment because who doesnt want a compliment... but i dont go overboard.

seraphyna b mai gf plz

For the most part those who followed the higher level player were new players (who some might call 'Noobs') looking for free stuff.

That made me laugh out loudly.. :lol:

Anyways.. I love it when people compliment my defence cape, I worked hard for it, why shouldn't I get a "Hey, nice cape" every now and then. I don't see this as "kissing my rear" but more as a congratulations.

 

 

 

Now the one thing I absolutely CANNOT stand is being asked my level. If I am woodcutting and you want to know my level.. look it up. This is mainly the reason why I train with my public chat off. Who wants to tell their level every 30 seconds.

hmm it works the same way to get a player modship

 

just be an angle when a j mod passes buy and asskiss them and ur a mod

 

otherwise u can rep 5k + pplz and get them banned and u still wont be mod

Because it's like real life, only on a game. People want to be and know the popular people in real life and try to talk to them, kiss [wagon] in hopes of joining their group or being friends with the person. Apply that online, you have a bunch of unknown people wanting to be known, wanting to feel like "somebodies", want something to brag about, want their help or skills.

To sum it up in one word: Acceptance.

 

 

 

Thankfully i was just being myself and i met a great bunch of friends: A Mother who likes Partying, a P Mod who calls me Bojangles for funny reasons, a lv138 who smells (ollyc3) and a ton of other great people along the way. Im glad i didnt need to kiss arse because otherwise i'd never be able to steal Erms Godsword. :lol:

seraphyna b mai gf plz

 

 

 

You and me...duel arena...now :P

It's called respect.

I agree, I don't see much of it anymore. However, I would say that it would be caused mostly by the ideas of intimidation or begging, as some have suggested. Intimidation by seeing such a high level in the game, such as a level 100, when starting off as a level 3 is quite scary, at first.

 

 

 

It could also just be respect, which ties in with the intimidation idea. Seeing a level 100, we assume that he or she has been playing for a long time, knows a lot about the game so we respect them.

It's just a general rule. If I try to get Aviansie kills at the fastest pace possible (yes that means killing everything) I get called a noob every 3 minutes.

i agree i hate this the most more than beggars

Before quickchat I'd just do an emote and walk away, but sadly that doesn't work anymore.

It's a matter of "respect" and the oppertunity to make some fast cash, make new, powerful friends.
