Ethics and Being a Good Person

[Lirania]

(...) I needed to post this in order to bring attention to some of the actions and words that are said throughout NI that damages the community and creates a less than friendly atmosphere. (...) treat everyone in the community as your equal (...)

For alot of people,this game seems more then just "a game" sinking 10k hours into it already tells it.

(...) I'm still here to have fun, not to get offended (...)

(...) I would like the community to be wanting to help (...)

(...) So generally I would love to see more acceptance (...)

(...) give a little empathy and put yourself in someone else's shoes.

(took out of context a bit, but) very much that, instead of that "logic" on forum as well  as in game, if you please.
I'm glad to see so many ppl willing to make this (already great) community event better as apparently there's still some room for improvement. Perhaps the right way to go for all of us before we take an action is to take a second to think if it's not going to be rude towards others. Then many conflict situation can be avoided as it's simply not worth it.

Cyber-space with its anonimity is where some ppl might often attempt to build up their self-esteem or escape their complexes and fears. It is human and understandable to get the feeling of being superior in some areas and feel the pride of your abilities or achievements, either it's your gear ingame or a gift of words on forum. But it's much more the proof of your strength to remain humble than to show up. Therefore, before putting some words of critic let's ask ourselves: is it the guy really doing something wrong and might avail from some guidance or is it me who wants to feel (possibly imaginary) superior?

I can only agree on all of this.If people would loose their hatred behaviour to newer players,it would end in much less fights.

I also read "get a thicker skin" multiple times,that statement is complete bullshit. People use the internet and gaming to escape issues and other problems,as Bobo already said.
I am doing that aswell,for me it really helps against my depression.And i can handle various insults and all the "nice" words i often get to hear. But some just can´t and its up to us to actually show some Empathy,shouldn´t be so hard i guess...but then after reading a few comments i can tell,some are just not capabel of showing Empathy.
But its also up to the newer Players to take fine Criticism without raging in the Chat.

and think more before posting.

Before you judge about others,you should first work on yourself.

Disprove a point I've made.

Basically every single post. Seems like you aren´t even interested into trying to makes this Community more attractive to newer Players at all.
Discussing with you is a waste of time anyways.

So the typical "I'm right. I just am, but can't prove it." Got it!

Your "hopping onto a thread and pushing it off Topic" isn´t any better. Jump of your Throne you´re not any better.
