Our community. Let us not be...petty.

[Yvonne_Blacksword]

I love this server. I started here and I will finish here.
Ok...So I started on Aerenal...but now we are Sarona...
All of us.

I like the people, I am comfortable with the play style, I like it..

However, there seems to be some issues.
And...well...I guess some of us need to grow up. Prolly me.

I was waiting for a group. I seem to do that a lot. Or solo.
I went to the vendor in house D...nothing there...no groups that need me..

I decided to take a break. Watch a little icky TV. Move my computer to the office...Set up my office...Stop playing on the couch in front of the TV surrounded by soda cans and snack foods...<SIGH>

When I got it set up I logged back in. I noticed that one of the characters was still there...hours later.
In fact there were several of their guild...sitting there...

I thought it odd.

I commented to my guild on it.

I read their bios.

I commented to my guild on that also.

One bio in particular bashed 3 other guilds.

Hey! Are we not adults? Do we not have standards? Are we not above petty rivalries that deter from the game and slander others?

Dont trust so and so...
Longest quest time ever...

Come on Sarlona? Should we behave as such?
Is it worth it to post nasty remarks about others...whole groups of people just because someone made us mad?
Is this the image anyone wants for their guild?
Is the guild leader aware, that others are flavoring their guild with these comments?

I played for a while. Did some soloing. Thought it over.
Then I saw one of the members of one of the named guilds.
I asked who their leader was and had intended to perhaps discuss it later.

And then this guild leader sends me a tell asking me whats up.
I mention the bio and he names the guild. Said he is aware of the conflict and that it doesn't bother him.

So...who is it really hurting?
The player getting known as a hater?
The guild mentioned who's players always have demonstrated their talents and their attitude and ave never been found wanting?
Or the guild, the player with the offending bio belonged to?

And you might wonder...Why I have removed my guild from my bio...from my signature here on the forums...
Obviously, because my opinion, my words, and my actions...I would never want to discrace my guild...Or lead others to think that one opinion is the guild's opinion...Even though I am an officer, I do not speak for them. No.
I speak for myself only.

No foul finger pointing in your bio please.
It makes us all less than we are.
