I have nothing to say to that. I think you are correct.
That's partly what this thread was about - a plea to the community to change.
This thread wasnt really aimed at new people who dont know what Discovery is about,
(but they can take inspiration / correction out of it if they wish), it was aimed at the people
who have been here for long time, but still ATTACK and JUDGE other people's
roleplay. It was aimed at the people whose first instinct is to yell 'OORP' when
someone comes up with an interesting idea. It was aimed the people who think
that they can 'Play Admin' and 'Rule lawyer' when they have no authority nor right
to say anything, they cannot do anything. It was aimed at the people who dont realise
what they are doing when they scream OORP, when its none of their business and
give nothing constructive to say. All of us are at that point at one time.
However if I could name a few reasons why you have had a bad experience.
1. We have had an influx of new players, many of whom seem to have come from pvp servers.
2. You stayed in New York
3. You still have not been around long enough to see the gold.
4. You will get that crap no matter where you are and what game you are on.
It just takes on different forms and isn't so obvious in other gameforms.
I'm sure if you guys have stayed together for awhile, you would have seen
the same 'griefing' that every game has in some form.
To give up and leave when you first get some opposition is, well, simply put not good for you.
5. Some people think that static roleplay is good. I'm not one of those.
Dynamic roleplay is best as it comes alive. But people seem to get stuck
in their own thinking of what roleplay is. I and some others are attempting
to change that, but it's difficult.
Would you believe that, and I think I can safely say this for every single person
that I know of and have met on the forums and ingame in Discovery, we know
what you mean. We have had the same experiences of harrasment, griefing,
being pvp abused - just because insert reason here, etc.
And I can tell you that if you let it bother you then you wont last long, because
there is a lot of it. But for me, that piece of gold that I find is worth all the grief I get.
Think about that for a minute.
I love Freelancer and have for years. When I found this community that I can
finally roleplay being my pirate/trader/ - even if ingame the characters I interact
with are bitter enemies, I do not carry that onto the forums or skype. It's what you
want out of Discovery and Freelancer that you will get. It's what you put into it.
Give good RP. Ignore the rest. You will get good RP in turn.
It's entirely your choice of course. You can come and go as you please.
The door is open the invitation is there to stay, to discover the gold.
It's your move next. What are you going to do?
If you want to leave, then leave. No-one is keeping you here. If you are curious
about that gold then stay. PM some people, noobl3te or me and ask to get some
RP out of us. I think most of the active people here on the forums do roleplay
fairly well. There is a large part of the ingame players that don't care about
roleplay, and there is nothing we can do about them except -TRY- to get them onto the forums.
But at the end of the day if they want to continue PVP abuse then they will get sanctioned,
and either, learn, continue getting sanctioned, or move on.
