This is just internet behavior that has always been present in-game.... Best to ignore them, block, unfriend, move on.
Indeed. True also for forums.

Making posts about their behavior likely feeds into the notoriety they want and their idea of fun.

Isn't this where we always end up after this kind of long winded, arm chair Internet psychology thread aimed at bashing PvPers over the head?
Yup. Let's wrap this up. There's virtue in a quickie.
like a properly designed PVE mode players have asked for since year dot.
Has the PG's booted all those involved?
So far it's just a conspiracy theory.
A truthful answer would be much better.
Just when i thought the gap between reality and carebears could not get wider i read this.
Putting such a level of obsession and personal emotional investment in a video game is unhealthy. Oh no a person didnt say the truth and blew up my internet pixels, id better rage and let it warp my mind
I think trying to shoehorn the behavior of real people into convenient categories is uncertain enough with unlimited access to that person. When the only access you have is how they chose to portray a fantasy character in a video game, it's unthinkable.
Practically speaking, it's also irrelevant. Maybe it will make some players feel better if they think those they are blaming are somehow defective, inferior, or unable to help themselves, but it's not going to change what's happening in game.
Stop with the weasel words. It is a categorical truth that if a person lies to you, then they are a liar. There is no black and white here. A lie is a lie. Simple.
A premeditated lie is a premeditated lie.
In the context of this video game, any player who gives a premeditated lie cannot be trusted. Black and white. No shades of grey.
Sometimes I think that some people are posting to "defend" or "excuse" some player's lies. But that won't work, because you can't "defend" a lie or a liar. They either are a liar - and demonstrably probably so - or they aren't. I'm not moralising. Just stating a fact. Arguing with any amount of weasely words us irrelevant. It will never change the fact that a person who lies is a liar.

Why is this such a difficult concept for some to understand?
The discussion has no clothes.
9 years Military Police qualify ?![]()
I'm sure nothing will happen in the PG. I mean, if I was in the PG I'd take great care to be in something a bit sturdier than a lawn chair with an fsd strapped to it just in case, but I don't think any moles are hidden in the group, so don't be so worried. It'll be fine![]()
Whoa... that is just sad. Zero integrity.It isnt. However, what people are trying to explain to you is that 'lying when playing a computer game' doesn't mean someone can never be trusted, with anything, ever, as you claimed. Or that games are 'sacrosanct'. It just means they lied when playing a computer game. This obviously is a very Big Deal to you, and it has been for many years. I dont know why, and unlike you, I wont speculate on what this means about you as a person.
Sometimes when a mate asks me to guard their beer in a pub they take too long to return. And you know what happens then? I sometimes don't guard their beer. No, the opposite: I drink it myself. I lied. I broke the sacrosanct promise I made in the holiest of places: a pub. I made an agreement, there was an accord, and in the vilest way did I turn my back on those in their time of need. I. Drank. Their. Beer. Not in a game. In real life. Knowingly. Sometimes even with some level of planning involved.
Judge me Father, for I have Sinned.

Players who deliberately infiltrate a no-PvP Private Group - please take note.
Entering into an agreement, as a person, and then going against that agreement, as a person, is an entirely different thing than your "character" might do as a fifth columnist pledging to a power.
The PG agreement is between the *players*, not their "characters", and reneging on your agreement is not an acceptable act for the person to perform.
You enter into the agreement as a person, not the character in the game, so it is not acceptable to call this "fifth column" or be the person's "character as a saboteur".
Your agreement is between people and should be treated as sacrosanct.
There is a world of difference between how your character acts in game, and how you, as a person, act after giving your agreement to a set of rules.
