Hello All,

 

I recently started playing again a few months a go.

I logged in to my old account to find it was stripped bare by someone, so i decided to start again.

 

I decided to make a pure, and it is going well for me.

I am having a lot of fun, and now have a few friends who are friendly, and nice to talk to.

 

At first i found it hard to make friends with anyone who wasn't a pure, and people often ignored me, or judged me before speaking to them.

 

Do you think pures have a bad reputation?

Yep. Most people consider then big mouth cocky [wagon]. Unfortunate stereotype...but it does come from somewhere...

Hey I moved this to Questionnaires seen as though it can be answered with a simple yes/no format.

 

 

Personally I don't mind pures but I do think they are slightly misinterpreted from what I've seen. Agree with spooferfish when most are rude wankers who think they are the shit.

I wouldn't say its limited to pures, but more of a stereotype for pk'ers in general. Perfectly reasonable people turn insufferable when they go from their main to their pk'ing account. It seems to be the mentality of everyone engaged in online multiplayer combat.

^ This, pretty much. Although skiller pures can be just as annoying... I think a lot of pures have the attitude that because their account is different to most people's, it's somehow special and better and they should be treated better because of it, whereas in fact most 'main' players just view them as narrow and not playing the whole game. I know not all pures are like this but yknow, as said, the stereotype comes from somewhere.

^ This is what I think of whenever I see a pure/pker talking

Ye pures generally have a very bad attitude.

 

Some are cool though, like Vilya and Hito.

I think its just a stereotype of pkers in general. Also, people tend to talk a lot of smack when getting into p2p combat fights... that just reinforces the stereotype.

Personally i don't get in to the 'smack talking', i just continue to speak as i normally would.

if i win, i win, if i lose, i lose.

I always start with GL, and finish with GF.

Most pures bot, talk trash and act immature, so yes i'd say they have a bad reputation in my eyes.

People generally don't like pures, and see them as really cocky and arrogant. A lot of them fit that stereotype well, others completely disprove it as fact. It depends on the person, really.

I do thinkk that the bad attitudes really stick with people.

If someone says hello, you'll forget it. If someone insults you, you will remember it.

Does anyone really care about "pures" anymore? :unsure:

^No-one but the pures themselves.

I don't think anyone should judge anyone else's playing style to be honest. Who are you to judge how someone else plays or their personality based off of that? Sure there are large ego pures but theres also level threes or skillers with egos to match.

that's the problem with the attitude , most of them bot , before bot nuke day 50%+ botted stats , wc , str , mage , and so much more.

 

on forums of final ownage elite and mayhem makers you could see it easy , they post 99 str or a 99 stat and the all say , nice botted. they give pures a bad reputation.

 

still there are pures that do it all without botting and just train everything on 1 defence.

Yeah they do have a bad reputation, but I own one anyways.

In my experience a player with a main account decides to make a pure, and because it's not their primary account they often act cocky and rude. However, I don't see this as being true with all pures. Personally, my first account was a pure, which I maxed and then turned into a main. I don't think I was an [wagon], but maybe I was. I do know that there is a definite stereotype for pures. It's just best to prove that you don't fall within it.

A good example of a pure that isn't a jerk. At least as far as I saw.

 

Any RS player can be an ass. Pures, 'mains', skillers, the average joe player... any of em...

Pures (1-20 def) do have a reputation of being weak, at least within the 'PK community', lol. They tend to get destroyed by all other builds and stick to fighting each other.
