People bashing locked fences on day 2

[Einlanser]

PVP is primarily used to grief people *now.* Absent pvp, the griefing would remain, and it doesn't take abundant imagination to see the forms it would take- piles and piles of alts swarming around your base, immune to harm, blocking your egress would suddenly become the cheapest method of siege warfare.

The only way to fix this game is to make a permanent client which will never happen unless the game is bought out and taken to a dev team that would do it to prevent all botting. For now, this is what haven is. Sadism and bots.

That or, show each of these people individually that what they’re doing is bad for their souls - If there’s any of it left. That what they’re doing is hurting themselves as they’ll carry this with them their whole lives whether they realize it or not.

It’ll affect their relationships, the thoughts in their head, their opportunities, their addictions to cope with their actions, and they’ll find themselves sinking ever deeper into realizing that even in a pretend world their actions are accounted for.

That being said, when you do good things a good phantom will follow you consequentially.

Thats a worse fate. So, enjoy the corpse, and the new ghost that will follow you until you forget where it even came from.

This is only possible because the game was designed with this in mind. Easily solvable by removing player collisions.

It’s not “just a video game”. It’s a mirror, your actions reflect who you are.

The unhappy monkey

The monkey doesn't want to deal with it anymore, dreaming of green, immaculate pastures, far away from the filth of those filthy monkeys.
So he decides to leave, but wherever he goes, he finds traces of that filth. ‘Too many monkeys here,’ he says to himself, ‘better to keep going.’
Finally, after much wandering, the monkey finds what he was looking for: green, immaculate pastures.
The monkey is happy with so much peace and abundance, it sets to work to make that place its new home, and with great skill it makes sure not to leave any traces so that those filthy monkeys do not become aware of its happiness and come to disturb it.
Just when everything seemed to be going well, there it was, another filthy monkey in its paradise, unacceptable, only one should have remained.
What the monkey did not know was that the filthy monkey had exactly the same dreams, the same ambition, and the same rejection of the monkey race, so much so that what she had seen was perhaps only her own reflection in the pond.

This is a good example, you just projected onto me that I’m “complaining IRL” which implies you are doing the same, perhaps about your living situation that we don’t know about. So yes, this is mirror. All of your actions are accounted for.

Guy above me projected he’s upset, through humor and mockery but sad nonetheless..

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism where you unconsciously attribute your own unacceptable feelings, traits, or impulses to someone else
