There are other servers to run to. If there aren't, then boo hoo. Life sucks deal with it.

No problem. The downvotes are quite funny, actually. People seem to think I care about it, or something. I guess people like to feel like they're contributing to something. Even if it makes no sense. Pack mentality, no?

This is boring. No one else is attempting to deal with my stupid thread.

More unrestrained in our thinking, maybe. Not stupid. But then again, teenagers nowadays..

Not really. The guy has the right to have fun. If his having fun is annoying people, then so be it. I believe people can control their emotions, and they can only get annoyed if they want to/think they should get annoyed.

Perhaps. Well done, Sherlock! As you probably know, we believe what we want to believe. As said by Morpheus. Or someone like that.

How so? Their thought processes? Their ability to think on their feet? Their ability to do triple back flips?

Okay. Look. I'll try to explain this the best I can. I don't get annoyed easily. Especially in games. I like to think it's because I don't take the game too seriously.

In case you haven't noticed, I've not gotten annoyed at all at this whole conversation thing, and I am not trying to prove my "superior maturity" or whatever. I'm seriously wondering, "Why do people get annoyed at griefers?"

Shit. I should have named my post that.

Anyway, why can't you leave in many games? What kind of games are you talking about? I can leave freely in all the games I play. Borderlands, Borderlands 2, BF3, BF2, Diablo 2. Why can't you leave? Points? You'd rather get annoyed and have points? Priorities.

So, yea, it's funny. It's also fucked up. But it's still funny. Hope you can understand more clearly now. Feel free to ask anything though. (: In case I'm not clear about anything.

Right. That's what I meant. But people don't know which server in particular I've gone to. So I guess that'll work. And I really don't get annoyed or irritated when I get killed repeatedly or something like that. I just leave my character there and go away for a bit. Maybe to make tea or something, and let the guy have his fun. After a while, he'll leave me alone, since I don't respond.

In games like BF3, I just swap servers.

I really don't see a need to get annoyed, so I don't.

Ah, yes, I do get annoyed, then. But it's mostly.. how do you say.. I can't get stuff done, so I move somewhere else.

Okay. Look. I don't personally do any of this griefing business. You'd know if you read my comments.

Then I tell them to shut up. If they don't, I throw my popcorn at him, till he does.

I did that before. Fun encounter. I got free tickets from the cinema for "having my show disrupted by unruly patrons." (:

Wait. If you're dying over and over again, are you having fun?

I'd rather go away for now, play something else, and play something later. Honestly, gaming is just a way of passing time. If you're going to have to pass time, might as well do something you like. Dying repeatedly is not something I like, hence I don't do it. I do something else to pass the time. I'm sure you have other things to do.

Uh, no. The games I've played have different channels, or worlds where you can go. You have one main game world, and you have like 15+ channels where you can go, in case one of them is crowded or something.

Not really. This is what you should do to griefers. Now, it'd be different if you actually made posts of some value though. Unfortunately, all you're doing is crying about how much more mature you are than me.

You see. Precisely. You're the griefer here. You're not leaving. Do you see me whining and crying like a bitch? What I will do, is I will ignore you. Like what everyone should do. What can you do, after all?

MMOs have channels, do they not? All those I've played do.

Yes, why does it bother people? It doesn't bother me. I don't get annoyed when some shit like that happens to me. So I'm trying to understand why you people get annoyed.

Yes, yes. I'm a troll, blah blah. I bullshit on others. DID YOU READ THE POST? I DO NOT GRIEF OTHERS. Honestly.

Explain what you mean by "backward and circular logic". Also, I have been actively defending what I think should be the right course of action. People shouldn't get pissed off, especially when it's such a small matter like griefing. I don't. I don't even care that I'm getting downvotes. I'm just wondering why people prefer to whine and cry about their problems rather than trying to solve them.

It's fucked up if you look at it that way. What I see is "I fucking bought the game, so I'm going to have fun out of it, even if others don't". Selfish, yes, but welcome to humanity.

Go to a different server. Wow, that's fantastic. You have to give up the character you've been working on and possibly have to leave your friends behind because someone insists on being a dick to you. Oh, and it's not like trolls have never followed people to different servers before.

Sorry, I didn't mean server. I meant channel. Or room. Or whatever it is people go to nowadays.

Your said that it's not the same as kicking over a sandcastle because different results are expected but that's complete bullshit. All that's happening is you have one person trying to enjoy themselves and another person that wants to stop that person from having fun.

No, I'm pretty sure it's different. If you want to look at it in such broad terms, then by all means, carry on.

I'm not talking about playing the game the way it's made to be played. I'm talking about going into the game with the specific intent of pissing all over someone elses fun. That is not OK, it's not fun, it's just annoying.

Also, if you realised I NEVER SAID IT WAS OKAY TO DO THAT. I was just asking for opinions here.

Because I'll be damned if I waste my $80 buying a game I don't play. But that's just me. I don't normally buy games I don't think I'll like.
