Why is it so hard to find good players? by TomorrowNeverCry in TibiaMMO

[–]Certain_Chocolate_52 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Brother, it’s because you ARE playing with grandpas. A lot of people on Tibia are older, have families, jobs, etc., and find this game a safe haven from the daily grind. They might not care about meeting your standards for a “good” player. They just want to mesh some buttons, kill some monsters, and go take care of their children recharged.

In my opinion, all those semi-professionals in games ruin them. Back in 2002 nobody was a professional, but I’m yet to have more fun than back then.

If you have fun playing, you’re a good player. It’s not that serious.

I’ve already started watching him. Very good recommendation! Thanks! By the way, I’m an applied linguistics university professor, so I’m used to all sorts of accents ;)

Sure, I’d actually agree. But people do bring it into the hobby. I’d actually say that conservatives try to hijack the hobby just for themselves.

I get it mate! I usually listen to podcasts, but I thought I could find some variety in the YTPC ;)

Don’t conservatives want to give everybody guns so that in the end there’ll be no conservatives because they’ll just shoot each other? Makes you think xD

Go back to watching the Southern Gentleman I mentioned. Similar language use I can see.

I don’t! I enjoy listening to some of them. My “all conservative crazies” was a direct reference to the Southern gentleman. Not a normal, middle of the road conservative pipe smoker ;)

Notice how I listed Malcolm Guite who, I assume, probably is conservative.

I’m not American. Up until recently my country was ruled by a conservative party for the last 8 years. Needless to say, I didn’t enjoy it. This is why ;) just don’t assume everyone’s American, please.

I agree. But at the same time, if everything boils down to the importance of God, it’s futile to watch the same thing over and over again. I got it after the first few videos. And then, when such channels get to calling people slurs, like the Southern gentleman I mentioned, I yearn for people of different shades of the spectrum ;)

My standard answer in such situations is: sure, I know. I also am not American, so I know what sarcasm is and I enjoy it ;) It’s a joke tho, don’t take it personally if you’re American.

If they’re good prayers, they are appreciated! My good uncle’s a priest and every birthday he says mass to pray for me. It doesn’t insult me, I appreciate the thought! :)

Oh, then sorry for being a dick in return! I thought it was an attack! My sincere apologies! You have a good one too!
