Am I the only who feels it's faster to solo 4-man GM with RC+LR or LB+LR. Nexon shuld gave enuf free stun pets to buy u some time to set up inbetween waves.
a PUG 4-man GM was quite messy 4 me and a contributor 2 death counts.
I was once banned from the old forums for telling someone to kys. It became understandable because it is something very extreme to say to anyone. I mean what if the person asking for help doesn't have any friends? What if they are depressed? There is some history of players on here killing themselves over bs that happens on here. We should never tolerate this and shrug it off as free speech. While speech is free, some things we say can come at a price.
I'd much rather teach an edgy teenager that such speech isn't appreciated anywhere early on. Same for the other people who live off edge lord stuff like this. Perhaps they can learn as well.
Not being an Australian myself, I theorise that their harsh and barbaric environment forces them to grow up more... gnarly... than most other human civilisations.
I'm 99% sure that if I asked them to run 4p GM/Lords with me they would reply "kys" but join the mission anyway.
I was honestly about to ask what KYS stood for myself as well, because I've literally never seen the abbreviation before, and only found out from reading what other people said in response. I agree, it's really not immediately obvious - and you were only asking what you'd missed - so the snapping wasn't called for.
@Eralea
I suspect if the person in question - of whom Nilrem interacted with - still helped afterwards, we likely wouldn't have ever seen this thread created.
I know several Austrians from a number of online communities, and while I can attest to the very colorful language they often use I have never once heard them use kys in a friendly/sarcastic manner. Granted they probably aren't the ones you know, but there is still a great difference between interactions with close friends and complete strangers.
Actually I consider Australia to be one of the top 10 libtard nations in the world.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I triggered a wall of text. Mission success.
I knew YOU would respond. Thanks for the lols. XD
What?
While I think we are overreacting to a lazy synonym as if it a proactive reasoning why one should kill themselves, the offense is somewhat reasonable, since many do not realize that "Kys" may be an Australian greeting, but a lackluster attempt to irritate.
To me, ignorance is a two way street, and if anything, Australians should subscribe to how their words and greetings my be interpreted on the wider range of the internet. This to me seems to border on common sense, if anything, considering most people here are not mostly Americans and Europeans, but also the pervasive internet language in predominantly English communities take place over culturally specific traditions.
If one causes a misunderstanding, the blame can be on the one who made the statement due to their ignorance, and is not precisely the fault of said person misunderstanding, though I must agree that while there are emotionally fragile people on the internet, and common ways to upset many individuals, that "KYS", while rude, isn't as worst one can make it out to be. Still, the common context online I believe, overrules all. Essentially, the commonly known definition may be initially wrong, but there comes a point when it does become the "correct" definition.
Also, I could spout angrily about the delicate nature of how Australia censors certain forms of art, but I digress.
Jeez, I feel like talking today. Hope I do not offend anyone.
I won't. I have better things to do. ^_^
Literally pressed the "ask for help" button and got that response. Nothing else said back.
Nothing provoked. And yes, this is that guy. From that locked topic.
The one I shared the name of privately to you about.
To be honest, I made this topic as more of a joke about the system as a whole.
If I wanted to bring attention to what said person did, I would mention things like running up to Tara alter, and
going "You don't have anyone in your party? LOLOLOLOL" and then leaving. Among other things.
And the entire time, I just sat there, trying to do that one lord run. Silently.
For 2 hours straight.
Until 4 others finally came and the run happened and I got my grandmaster badge for the day.
I'm honestly surprised this topic is taken as seriously as this.
I even meme'd in the OP.
Dang, I've been had.
Well you didn't even say lol or any smidgen of indication that this was humorous to you. People will assume the worse when presented with stuff like this. And either way, we still need to discourage toxic behavior on here, especially the Altruist system. I have already stated my opinions on the matter. Please elaborate more on your threads, because honestly I am with these other guys - you were curious what kind of reactions this was going incite. So I hope you're satisfied.
