As of late, I have noticed a decline in the community of The Hunting Grounds. Many new players coming in and generally destroying the game. Many players becoming jack-asses as a result of this.
The rules have always been lax around here, we all know that. Recently, however, it seems you can get away with just about anything aside from bug abuse without so much as a boot. It's getting so bad around here that most of the actual good players that are respectful and generally rule-abiding are just giving up. I personally have never even had to be warned to stop something and I've been around nearly 5 years.
Also, people are just getting downright ignorant around here. When someone logs in for the first time and get insulted for no reason just for asking a simple question, it's getting bad.
You've all ruined a great community, thanks for that. I'll be deleting all my characters now so you can have more server room for these dipshits. Have a good day.
In short: I'M FUCKING DONE WITH THG.

That's not ignorance. That's rudeness. Now, the problem is when people log in for the first time, see that huge block of text explaining enough of the game for anyone with a brain to get by with, and just completely ignore it. |

I fully support laying in to people who don't take the time to read. Then there are those with valid questions that get just as much bullshit as the stupid ones. I'm surprised this game even gets new players anymore to be quite honest.

The problem is that the Brotherhood cannot be on the game every minute of the day to make sure people are following the rules. However, many times I do go over logs that I was able to keep and help make sure everything went okay when no one was there. I have banned several people because of their actions that way already.

As you all well know I'm more than guilty of becoming a jackass lately, because of the way new idiots are steamrolling the server. Sure, it doesn't excuse my actions or my trolling, but fucking seriously, when wsay is 90% of the time filled to the brim with silly empty conversation and stupid overused emoticons, aka spam, why bother being respectful? Then, I bring up the fact that people who constantly choose to type like morons and spam inane shit like o.O, >.> and all these other dumb faces are really no better than spammers (go look at the wording of the spam rule, people. It's all right there, this is fact, not opinion), I get met with "there's no wrong way to type u big meanie!!1" and all other manner of horse shit. It's enough to turn you from 0 to troll in one forum post.
With that admittedly unnecessary ramble abated, to be a little truer to the original topic now, this is not something to flip your shit and delete everything over. Set an example for the dickheads like me that sometimes troll and snap more than what we should. Help the new players with valid questions, and don't engage dickheaded players like me beyond saying things to the effect of "Dude, there was nothing wrong with his question, let him be." Don't continue the vicious cycle by being an ass yourself, which causes a person like me to be an ass, and on it goes. I like you mike, I know you're sooner or later gonna regret going apeshit and deleting all your stuff, so don't do it, aight brah? Also, for god's sake, ANYONE who replies to this with stupid emoticons just to be a smartass will be reported for harassing and threadshitting.

god wut a fag dont delete ur characters ok just come in and troll wsay and bait the idiots and fight like 2 battles and then leave like i do its fun aight. Do what LP says. It sounds reasonable enough  . Plus, ignore is there for a reason, like the others said. Every public game has its share of stupid people, and they'll always be there no matter what anyway. You just can't let it get to you. Anyway, see ya around, man.  I would take a prolonged break, at best. If, in the future, you are bored and have nothing to do and decide to come on FFTHG, you'll probably still want your characters to be there. It is true that most people don't have patience for idiotic actions or people, but thats where ignore comes in handy. Take a break, and focus more on your life if need be. Don't let a bunch of idiots ruin your fun. |

I've gotten my computer issues more or less fixed, so I get to come back now. And Mike, you should know what that means. In short: IM DONE WITH LETTING THAT CRAP CONTINUE.

The community is no better (possibly even worse) but when you get to a high enough level you can just kill those people. Hell, I don't even check the forums that much any more. |

Wow. i use emoticon faces often, but usually on "say" rather than "wsay". I didn't know this ticked some people off a bit... but I am a bit ignorant of things going on around me. I'm going to try typing in complete sentences and such on wsay from now on, but I'll stick to the shorthand for regular say because it's faster. (Which is why most people, like me, type like that.) If you party with me and don't like inane shorthand babble, be sure to tell me.  |

Hah, FFO. I keep to myself if I'm ever on there, because 90% of the time I'm better off that way.

I think I may have tried it once. It may have been tolerable if it wasn't for the excessive lag.
