[QUOTE="LordGriffin, post: 4298022, member: 69553"] I live with two of my regular gaming buddies. The guy who's parents own the house is our "problem player". This means that every game we run AT the house pretty much has to involve him or he gets pissy and/or suicidal. We could probably find somewhere else to go and not invite him, but our house is actually pretty freaking huge and makes for the ultimate gaming pad. (Huge rooms, huge TV, huge kitchen, swimming pool, etc.) Plus our [i]other[/i] gaming options suck (the next best place doesn't even have a table and only has one small couch for seating). We'd love to get rid of this guy and would if we felt we could, but our rent is only 300 bucks per month here and we're not stupid enough to give that up so that our hobby is slightly more enjoyable. Why is this guy such a problem? Well, he's spent the majority of the last 15 years of his life playing MMOs. This means that he treats ALL RPGs like computer games. Here's a quick rundown of his playstyle: *Get Quest *Kill mobs (even the ones that aren't [i]supposed[/i] to be killed) *Loot everything (even if it's completely improper to do so) *Beg for XP or other rewards *Finish quest *Start next quest Seriously, this guy doesn't even understand "role playing". It's hideous to watch. [/QUOTE]
