This sort of stuff happens so often it amazes me.

I have no idea what, or who, has a problem, but geez, get over it.

This is a game - one that is played for entertainment/relieve boredom etc.

This is not real life guys - I cannot belive so many petty squabbles that appear in it, and are taken to heart like it is the end of the world.

If someone dislikes you so much, reroll another toon and dont group with them.

Why ask for items back? Can you use them at work? Do you use your Vorpal longsword on your partner? If you cared about them so much why give them away in the first place?

If you cant handle human interaction on the web, good luck for when you decide to get out of your chair and join the real world.

Dream - this isnt aimed at you in particular - but all and any that have posted threads like this.

That was awesomely said!!!

I agree

Sigh.. I guess the latest "thing" for some of the faces to do is accost random aum members with tells letting them know how much better than aum tinted faces people are, and how much aum people suck.


I can only hope that some people will eventually grow up, but I'm not holding my breath.

you know I'd hope that Tinted Faces are not doing this... this is low even by our standards.

I am, Rameses!

[Cayrie]

Someone is...they had a guild name up in gianthold last night saying something of that sort -- how Tinted Faces are better than AUM.

Heh.. That's what my impression was when the gf told me about the tells she was getting today. After talking to her a bit more, they weren't saying that aum people suck. Just that the tinted faces and everyone in it were better than aum people.

At this point I'm more amused by the whole thing than anything else. Heck, she doesn't even notice what guild people are in most of the time. And she's definitely never gotten involved in any of the cross guild rivalry stuff.

I'm also hoping(at this point its more of a hope than an expectation) that no one on the aum side is helping keep this **** going. Most of them don't read the ddo forums, and have to get these things explained to them when they run into random acts of hostility and/or "roleplaying" or whatever it is that some of the people are doing to keep themselves amused.

But some of the ones that do read the forums are getting pretty tired hearing this stuff on a regular basis, and are no longer "tolerant" of the other people's foibles.

And the newly created guild "tinted faces are better than aum", or something along those lines, was definitely proof that some people have too much time on their hands.

Well, I can certainly sympathize with the OP, that some situations in these types of games just make the entire game no longer fun to participate in. I have run into a few similar situations in the past myself, and leaving pretty much became the only option. Usually the situations are personal and not really a global issue though, and generally not an issue with the game itself.

Granted, I do not know the OP (at least I don’t think I do, as I don’t know what character(s) he plays. However, I don’t think I have a problem with him, and have probably played with him before, but my do-not-play-with list consists of about 2 people.

Anyways, I cannot argue that leaving is his only option, that is for him to decide. Of course options exist but even those options become limited depending on the player. You can always switch servers, or create a new character, or simply ignore those you have a problem with. All such solutions have caveats which make them not work so well at times. For me, making a new character doesn’t usually work as I make odd characters and my play style is not difficult to figure out if you pay attention. My means of chat will also give me away at times, so simply hiding isn’t always a viable solution when personal problem get mixed into the situation.

Under most situations, problems are avoidable or can be left behind, leaving one able to continue playing with little problem, however some players just make it a point to try to destroy the fun of playing for others and in some cases they specifically pick out players to do this to, which it sound like has happened to the OP. The only times I found it necessary to leave a game was basically due to personal issues (bordering harassment), from certain male types who play and determine that I have somehow become their girlfriend and they wouldn’t leave me alone and spend a lot of time trying to track me down when I tried to go away and play new characters. Some players are just hell bent on driving others nuts. There’s no escaping those kinds of players once they get started other than to leave the game. Sometimes harassment can be claimed and you can get them removed but that usually causes other problems of other people having it out for you for causing a friend to be banned, even though they never understood or believed the situation that was happening. The simplest solution to cause the least problems is to leave.

I am sorry for the OP finding himself in such a situation in a game, especially a game he enjoyed, but it happens. Hopefully he will find something more suitable and fun again.

Thats a guy not at all affiliated with Tinted Faces. Think the guild name was "Tinted Faces Rule AUM doesn't" or something to that effect.

Now that's an interesting little factoid.

I didn't actually believe it was a Tinted Face, but rather a pot stirrer. TF jokes are usually a little more creative.

Oh, and Asp, the new sig looks good on ya!

[bandyman1]

Cool new sig bro.

Saw the newly created guild last night, and there was another lvl3 in a guild called " The Tinted Faces ". I asked if it was a splinter of TF, and got no reply. Thought maybe you guys could use a heads-up, in case someone is attempting to throw a little mischief your way.

[Ozoro]

was is connnor? cause he made a guild called The Tinted Faces on tuesday night in Madestone. after i booted him from the guild for his cheek.

Sorry, not allowed to name people. You know, the whole infraction point system and all.. You got a pm...

But... YOU booted someone from the guild for CHEEK? Heh...

There's just so much wrong with that statement....

[Madmardigan]

being "booted" in TF is generally just a way of hasstling eachother, the above said wouldn't actually be kicked from the guild.
