I apologize for this /rant, I normally dont like to put myself into these types of threads. But something happened to me lastnight that really made me question the morals of people in this game.
I have been leveling my taru thief up to level 15 (TH1) for a little over a week now. Aside from being one of the most strenuous things I've done in game so far, it's very hard to get an invite for a party even in the dunes for me.
So last night I'm {LFG} in the dunes for a little over an hour, when my LS convinced me to head to the Highlands and solo the rest of the way to 15. So at level 13 I figured what the heck I can probably beat on some EP's and DC's for a level or two. I start beating up on Wasps and Sapplings, 20-30 xp per fight. Hmmm...I see Hill Lizzard that checked EP, so I whip out my bow and start hacking away. Half way into the fight the little bugger poisons me. After I kill it off I have a little over 100hp but the poison starts dropping me quickly. Right then I see a WHM named Moris run past me with his flag up. So I quickly start to follow him and send him a quick /tell "Excuse me can you help me real quick".....no response, and shortly thereafter I kick the bucket.
Thankfully my HP was in the dunes, so I HP'd and made my way into the Highlands again. Now as soon as I zone I get a /tell back from this wonderful WHM saying:
"**** Off!! I ain't helping no one"
....WOW!! Now that's a WHM if I've ever seen one. So I send him a reply /tell "Hey calm down, all I wanted was a quick Poisona back in the Highlands" no big deal, right? Now it could have been left at that, if he didnt want to help no big deal..but then I get this:
"Go to HELL you piece of sh#t, I told you I ain't helping you I hope you die"
"Go to hell, I hope you die"??? Not once in this game have I EVER felt so compelled to drop the game right on the spot because of the lack of humanity that is shown by people like this. I've heard stories and read posts here about people who are just plain rude, but how could someone who chose the job of a WHM be such an @sshole and get away with playing a game that requires social skills??
I guess I will never understand that concept. But if I remember correctly MORISwas a level 14-15 WHM heading for the dunes, so just a fair warning to all that may party with him or at some point come in contact with this guy....DON'T ASK HIM FOR POISONA!!!!
/rant done!! I apologize for this "Gloomy" post so early in the morning...but I really had to get that off my chest!
