Player Attitudes

(1/9) > >>

Razzles:
Well, I've been a player for almost my entire life as a player in RO and just got a the opportunity to become a GM in a server. (Well, they are eating up my patience and might became a MORE STRICTER GM because of this)

I'm getting a bad one, its barely my first time to experience this from a HR server.

I had met some few people who are nice, but most of them are fvck as hell.

Been a GM on a Mid Rate and in game moderator on a LR but never experienced something like this only on a HR.

So, does the player attitudes vary on the type of the server you have? LR/MR/HR/SHR? In your opinion guys.


OT:
(click to show/hide)Well, here's my background in RO, been playing A LOT of LR/MR servers in my entire RO life (yes the official ones when I first played, but wasn't able to be that active) and most of them are friendly, of course those badass, b*tches, troublemakers are there, but you won't see much, but now, in my current server. Played a HR one because of a friend but played one individually and had a good experience. I'm a GM recently on a HR type of server, fvck these people are damn crazy, they are like spamming @request with trash talks to the GMs, badmouthing and such and especially to those freebies, and when you entertain them they will like, reply you with s*** responses. And when you make a damn mistake on @broadcast or /nb they will spam @request saying WTF?, <insert foul word here>, trash talking you, cursing you to death and when I said sorry on @bc or /nb one said "HEY DON'T EVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN OKAY? OR ELSE. And I was like WTF? Seriously?

Because of this, decided to make this thread to get some ideas about player attitudes.

Triper:
I would say that it depends on the server and population.

Low rates - hardly you see bad people unless is a guild vs guild trash talk war or 1 random stupid player that pop ups once in a while

Mid rates - depends on the server but I would say that what happens on low rates, happens here too.

High/Super High Rates - it depends on the server. I've played some where there was perma trash talks just for being in town and not in pvp but I've seen some with very nice people.
I would say that, nowadays, specially on servers with high rates and made by Asians for Asians, there is a trend where everybody wants/expects free items for joining those type of servers and trash talk is an usual thing.

PVP/BG/WoE servers - expect thrash talk 95% of the time everywhere because the game is taken on serious business mode. There are some rare occasions were some servers actually don't have this and there is actually adult discussions but it's very rare.

Seeing as you're on a server filled with pure trash talk and people asking for free items all the time, I would say that you should talk with the admin(s) and try to get into some mutual consensus and apply rules for a more restrict usage of @request and start to ignore some of the request for being retarded. You can even ask to devs apply something as a npc broadcasting every hour with something related to rules where that appears too.
Another possible way to resolve that could be blocking the usage of @request and exchange it for a npc where people would write their requests so you could do some trial from what matters and what not.
Another way could maybe be to warn when you're on/accepting @request and warn in advance that if someone is going to start trash talk, except to see /ex nickname and if they're gonna rant about that in any other place, expect gms do their job with mutes and bans[if necessary].

IMO, those !request trashtalkers are best treated with something like several hours mute.
If they keep doing it, increase the mute duration.

If your server rules doesnt cover that, suggest these rules to be added.

While GM isnt someone to be worshipped, they need to be respected.

Kensei:
While Triper says it depends on the server type, I'd rather go with majority of the players. Where do the majorities come from? If it's one of the country with worst online community ever, well, you're screwed. There's almost no day you're going to be free from unjustified complains or trash talks.

Trust me, I've played on different server types with different people. I know which people are the source of trash talk.

I agree with this, I have had a few times when someone was angry over something and took it out on me in @requests or main chat, but our server has specific rules about disrespect and so there is a clear guideline for punishment. It seems to deter most people from mouthing off when they are angry over something small. Of course it won't stop everyone but it might help.
