That's not what he said- he didn't say anything about getting killed, which it IS fair to be pissed over because its a broken mechanic (dont give me the stupid alpha thing, we are all well aware this is an alpha and already done the motions.) He just said because they use an in game mechanic that allows you to do something, you will get shunned and neglected by everyone else. And not just in-character, and that's stupid: people act like you're a griefer or cheater for using what the game allows you to do. Now granted, they do abuse alts but what else are they supposed to do when ranging is hideously overpowered?


So that's the current defense - there's a mechanic for it, so you shouldn't judge my behaviour by its effect on others, you should consider anything that's possible to be of equal moral value.

Bzzz! Thanks for playing, but wrong answer.

The devs don't judge you for it - so you don't get banned. That's about all the non-judgmentalism you can glean from it being a game mechanic.

PoinsonedV, considering your last 3 posts in this thread have consisted each of a quote about a player followed by a sentence insulting them without giving any reason for your disapproval other than the implied fact that you are a fucktard, I thank you for now being the first person to allow me to test this forum's ignore function.

Actually, this ignore function is kind of nice! Don't be annoyed if I don't see/respond to your post.

The whole point of ignore is to just you know, ignore them not a way to lose an argument and then pretend you won.

When you ignore them and brag about it, you look like a three year old plugging his ears and going "lalala I cant hear you".

That's you. You are a child.

Maybe I should ignore you too ;) . No, I know. You simply can't deny its awesomeness, though! :D . Hopefully, I'll never need to see another idiot post again.

Edit: Did some liberaties guy say something?
