But not altruistic. Now if it is just about semantics for you: Let's call it 'altruistic', more power to you, but the point is: You have no obligation <b>whatsoever</b> to do this.<br /><br />The same applies to heroics in WoW. This is not about giving food to starving children. It is about making people have even more fun than they already have (they are playing a game!). <br /><br />It is nice if you do this, but there is no obligation to do this whatsoever.Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-7193282801122588982011-02-11T23:00:33.697-06:002011-02-11T23:00:33.697-06:00@Syrien: I'm afraid you are slowly going insan...@Syrien: I'm afraid you are slowly going insane. Please refrain from slashing my chest or thinking guns are sticks.<br /><br />For my own part, when having a bad day I am often wary of entering the incendiary place of PUGs.<br /><br />@Caramael: But what about the stupid shit of the goblins? Out of the frying pan...<br /><br />@Nils: The details would seem to matter here, since at least in my mind niceness is a weaker form of altruism, both being socially constructive behaviors, so how does altruism fall under moral responsibility but not niceness?<br /><br />@Issy: Ah yes, a variation of the classic "it's not my fault, I'm high" excuse.<br /><br />@Syl: Are you using "we all do it" as a justification?<br /><br />Now I'm left with two thoughts: quantifying the frequency of bad players as a percentage of total players encountered and total runs, and whether these bad and annoying players are bad and annoying in real life and if not, why not?Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-56130238268876932032011-02-11T10:00:18.606-06:002011-02-11T10:00:18.606-06:00There's nothing wrong with queuing when you fe...There's nothing wrong with queuing when you feel like it, good mood or not - who doesn't?<br />at the same time I very much doubt a bit of a bad day is the true reason for all the idiots in PuGs out there..<br />that might be an excuse for someone sometime and be genuine too, like Issy said apologetic people aren't a problem; but simply bad or annoying players aren't bad and annoying because they're just having a bad day - they're just bad and annoying. ^^Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-37364706325440193002011-02-11T09:24:36.308-06:002011-02-11T09:24:36.308-06:00Yes I pug when I'm tired and in a bad mood, I ...Yes I pug when I'm tired and in a bad mood, I hope that doesn't make me be an idiot, or treat anyone with disrespect because of it. I am also generally sympathetic to people who apologise for screwing up and admit they are tired or had a bad day. <br />Unless you're the guy who says he's tired because he spent all day stoned and then couldn't sleep or something.Issyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933957795168847676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-76891666515882012052011-02-11T08:34:53.405-06:002011-02-11T08:34:53.405-06:00If you give food to a hungry man you act altruisti...If you give food to a hungry man you act altruistically.

And both are equally irrelevant, because stupid shit is caused by stupid people.<br />Gevlon's Gulch is a great place to avoid the randoms and the stupid shit they're likely to cause.Caramaelnoreply@blogger.com
