[QUOTE="Jardel_Karabella, post: 2558618"] Okay, this is getting long and overly complicated, so I'll try to summarise what I'm saying and hope Jax doesn't get mad at me for heating up the thread. When you (whether you are new or a veteran) come in with a character in a situation which [b]demands[/b] attention (you're dying, your world is going to be destroyed, etc) from strangers (not friends, or even enemies) then what you are saying is, "[i]My plot and I are more important than anything you could be doing. You must stop it right now and come and do what I want you to or else.[/i]". That is rude, that is abusive, that is outright hateful and it most certainly harassment which as well as being villified in the code of conduct goes against all common courtesy. If someone comes in with this attitude and does not receive a friendly response then they have nobody to blame but themselves. Don't blame the regulars because your fictious n00b was rude to them and they didn't fall at his feet and beg to know how to serve him. They're just there to have fun and stood up for their right to have fun without it being squalshed by a selfish brat who thinks they're always the most deserving of attention. If you want to help such people fine, but don't take the high ground and tell everyone they should stop having fun and endure abuse from random passerbys just so you can feel better about the site. We're here to have fun...does that make us such bad people? [/QUOTE]
