Find some more good players.I think everyone should try to game with different people. I think it will show you that some people are just naturally bad players, while others have a great natural attitude. It's so much easier to simply replace a bad player with a good one, rather than to try to change their behavior.Of course just because you deem someone to be a bad player doesn't mean you deem them to be a bad person. You can still be friends without gaming together.The abusing NPCs for attention thing is just a bad gaming habit. It's like people who talk during a movie. I'm sure they could be trained not to do it, but that's not your job and it's much easier to just not invite them anymore. And not only is it the easiest approach for you but at the same time still pretty effective at changing their behavior. When it comes to "sticks" I think the feeling of social exclusion is more powerful than any sort of direct chewing out. Make them come to you and ask why they're not getting invited anymore.If it felt important for you personally to chew them out then OK, but I think letting the bad players just sort of fall out of your group by avoiding them would have been easier and wouldn't have burned any bridges.</blockquote>
