Thoughts on the elitist attitude?

there, happy?
when did I ever say that I was the good guy eh?
you all think im tryin to get you all sympathetic for poor little ol me
I made this thread because it annoyed me, and I wanted to share experiences of others who were annoyed, nothing else
if you think I didn't retaliate you're sorely mistaken, because that's the kind of person I am
I did not, however, wish to turn this into a fighting thread because frankly I'm just not in the mood for the ruthless attitude of the anon

@Tricks122 If you take a video game that seriously than I feel sorry for you, it's completely different irl.

P.S. You must be a buzzkill at parties.

[quote=GakiNoTsukai]You might want to stop now. The fact that you posted a screen that shows players names shows that you're picking a fight.

KSing is a jerk move yes, but calling out someone is also a jerk move and like a lot of people have already stated, your screen does not backup your claim.

I will want to state that KS wars isn't a bad thing though, 6v6 coolies in old maple pre 4th job actually yielded faster experience due to everyone killing faster.[/quote]

i've been trying to stop since people started to make this a fight, people like you keep it going

people don't seem to understand that I didn't make the thread for this specifically
I included it as an example because it annoyed me, and wanted others to share their experiences, but people are so thirsty for a fight that it turned into that[/quote]

Don't get sassy with me for pointing out the flaws of this thread. I even posted an on-topic reply and you give me sass? Tsk.
In all honesty though, did you really think this thread was gonna be civilized at all once you include a basiler's name along with a screenshot claiming that they are KSers and elitists.
Just saying that I believe you would have been smarter than that if you just wanted this thread to be harmless discussion about the current state of the community. You invited a fight.

[quote=jblz]yes, well let me rewind the world to show you my chat log
the problem is, I didn't include a chat log because there was none
they just showed up and started attacking, no words were spoken[/quote]

So in essence, we take your word, a stranger over the Internet, instead of the word of someone else, who has equal interest as you in the matter. That seems fair and logical.

I can do without your sarcasm when you've little to stand on. There's no proof that you didn't just walk into the map and cause trouble, nor is there any that they were being elitists taking your map for an extended period of time, and you've got no answer to your opponent's claim of rather harsh words(Which, while not justifiable, explains why you'd be treated in such a way by them). While they are in equal merit to your own, perhaps you should look at that before you make such a claim.

Well if it wasn't admitted above, the conclusion wouldn't have even been able to be drawn. This is a situation that happens more in Bera. First, 1 or 2 people are training in a map. Then comes in a guild that starts or ends with a 5 letter word. They hit like 800k damage and then claim you are ksing them in almost incomprehensible language when you've been there for hours.

Anyway they weren't being elitist and if they didn't talk then they definitely didn't put down your damage. They were just rude. It happens to everyone though. Whether or not you hit 55m, 125m, or 1m damage, you will get ksed. Usually you just call for backup and hope they leave. Not much you can do since you can't force them to leave unlike in unofficial servers. If they're in a (non rude) guild, you can probably talk to a Jr master to get them kicked though.

You pointed out elitism and cite your puny damage because your are insecure. Additionally neither of them hit max damage like you suggested in your poat. Please just stop. You are as inaccurate as your first post.[/quote]

[quote=SadVirgin]Your thread would have been fine for discussion, but you just had to put that screenshot and comment in there, which leads me to believe that "outing" these people was the original intent of this thread.

This specific drama aside though, KSing and elitist attitudes is not something new. It existed in "old" maple too, if not more back then considering the larger population and fewer maps.[/quote]

TL;DR: I'm mad, because somebody else deals more damage than me

OT: I hate when people call somebody a "noob," "stupid," etc. in a game that's almost completely P2W. Aside from that, people can enjoy the fact that they hit hard.

[quote=Tricks122]The fact that there's no chat log is suspicious. You claim 'elitism', but nothing proves that you happened to be there before them, from my knowledge, which also leaves room for interpretation either way. Essentially, the screenshot is 'lacking' at best, and it is only given context through you, who is a party that is directly involved and has interest in skewering what is said in order to make your position feel better.[/quote]

[quote=minchuzuk3]Technically no one has the right to a map, so you can't get butthurt when someone comes.[/quote]

By that logic, you technically have no right to exist. Please cease existing now. You also have no right to be annoyed when someone cuts in a line in front of you(Even if they get the last of whatever you wanted), pushes you off a bench to take your spot or any number of other basic aspects that you, technically, have no right to use.

There are basic rules of common courtesy that apply to day to day life, and behind a screen, unfortunately, because you can't actually be judged in a way that impacts your 'real life character' and cannot be properly punished for it, people decide to come up with this "Oh well technically, you don't own a map so I can take it." garbage. Your sort of thinking is incredibly limited and lacks any sort of logic beyond an egotistical "for the strongest" aspect, which wouldn't happen in real life because, you know... you'd actually be judged and treated accordingly for it by the majority of people.

That elitist doesn't even hit max even with all the doops and game breaking crap out in mapl. what loser </3.

OT: this is what happens when someone with the mentality of a child spends their bank account or enough time not succeeding in the real world on a pointless grindfest of a game and gets to the point where they're bored but can't afford to cut their losses so they play maple like some zombified addict.

Really ot, I promise: the community in game sucks

They were ksing, but I don't see them putting you down about your damage. Players of all levels ks. A strong player ksing means they're a jerk, but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with funding. Also, that guy doesn't have anywhere near max damage.
