Normal Maplers?

Recently, I've run into a lot of scammers, beggers who insult you after you give them mesos and just complete jerks ingame.
Not just scammers who leave you alone, scammers who leave rude remarks and insult you if you say no. They just asked me if I wanted to be part of their Youtube video and that they're quitting and they would give me free stuff if I participated and I just said "No thank you, I'm busy" and they just flamed and swore at me .___.

Same with people I'm trading with, if my first offer doesn't satisfy their rip off price, they just say "Lol you suck you effing n00b your offer sucks" and then cancel trade.
Sometimes, I'm casually grinding on a map and someone has to come in, KS me and when I say "Excuse me but may you please change channel?" they reply with a "no fak off you cc".

I mean, do you even need to include the rude remark? Just say "ok" or "nty" and then leave. It completely ruins my day and it leaves me in a crap mood.

So I was wondering if you're a normal mapler, just like me. You like to play MapleStory for your own reasons, you don't insult people because they're not doing what you want and you don't KS. You're normally polite and you just want to make some friends, level and have fun. If someone's being mean, you stand your ground (politely) or you leave and you don't like being insulted.

Why are jerks jerks? I'm not one (I hope) so my morals and values are different and I don't know what it's like to enjoy making people upset. This applies to maple AND real life. You know, those people who push in lines, those people who like picking on people less powerful, people who play victim etc. etc.

@Aeronomx:
If I was being annoying or just trading out of the blue of course I would understand if they were annoyed but I'm talking about people who rage when you offer a decent price (18 mil on something worth 20 mil) or when you've done nothing to them.

You can't really generalize why everyone rude you come across is that way. Everyone who might be rude to you might have a situation going on or doesn't like to get bothered I would assume. I'm rude sometimes when someone random person trades me while I am scanning through the fm, and then they asked if i have any gear/meso for them or show me something I am not interested in, other times not so much.

I do more thinking in one hour than you probably do in one day; I work with a Federal Government Agency in Canada. You can make all the assumptions you want but right before you hit that post button, just remember, you're still a presumptuous, ignorant, delinquent. Your little world isn't representative of the real one outside your door. Ask your daddy. Or get a job before you start spouting how the world is full of "meanies". Lmfao.

Next time don't apologize for English being your second language, apologize for being so narrow-minded and jaded. Did you have a rough upbringing? Daddy issues? People who sound like you typically (not always) didn't get enough love and care from their caregivers when they were young. If that's the case with you then I will stop being so hard on you and I'll withdraw my comments; you'd have my sympathy.

p.s. I don't respond to petty teenage insults or "Yo Mama" jokes, so if that's all you can come up save yourself the trouble and don't bother. If you have something constructive to say, I will respond. Work on your comfort with authority little lady. One day you're going to answer to someone.

They do it because they can. Maple's open for all ages so there will be some immature people. For the KSing part, if they KS you, KS them back until they leave.

Imo age is a big influence on all this. Maple has a wide various of ages this then differs between the people who are immaturity and the people who are mature.

Just making things clear... again... I'm not whinging and crying over how 1 person said something and then I had a mental breakdown and had to be hospitalised.

I'm just saying that I'm starting to get annoyed at the rising number of people being unnecessarily rude and I'm asking why they have to be like that.

I'm not some spoilt rich kid who has never seen mean people or felt hunger/pain. I've seen terrible (not exaggurating) people and I've seen how kind they can be. I know that nearly everybody is capable of being nice and although impossible, the maple community and the world would be a better place if we were kind to one another. Humans cannot win over our hunger for acceptance and some will do anything for it. Each person is brought up differently so we will all have different views, ethics and values but I've always wanted to know the values of a jerk. Maybe they're not as selfish as we all think, maybe some actually want to change the world into a better place but their methods differ from ours. Sadly I never really find out anything because they just spit in my face if I ask them .__.

Nobody is denying that's how the real world is they're and I are just saying that that is why human civilization is as it is. Before you say something stupid like "yeah and get used to it" or something around the lines of just replying arguing back just ignore my comment and walk off.

Totally understand =.= Just today alone while training my Phantom, I had two people ks me. Given, these areas were some of the more populated areas like golems and pepe at Mush Kingdom, but there are 19 other channels to choose from. So annoying to have someone come in and ks me while I'm trying to train. I usually just wait it out and then when I'm about to leave, I defame them. I can't stand it when people think they can just ks and get away with it. I'm going to sound like an old timer here, but back in my day, people actually respected one another. You ask them to get off your map and they would. And sometimes you didn't even need to ask. They would see you training and make the decision to leave themselves. Now you have to fight with them. A few levels ago, I was fighting mutant ribbon pigs on my Aran and someone came in and began to attack them all. She (or he >.&gt was even smug enough to ask to be invited to my party. When I declined and asked them politely to leave, they started attacking and ksing. So I defamed. They then proceeded to follow me to another channel and defamed me =.= I didn't deserve the defame, she (he) did. It's so annoying to see people on Maple these days being so lazy and inconsiderate that they can't press a few keys to move over one channel. Like I said, we have 19 other channels to choose from. I can't imagine how it would be if Kradia still had only 12 channels. Also, for the record, I can't stand it when 12-year-olds think they can smart off and act tough. That really grinds my gears =.= Sorry for the long comment xD I just needed to get that out It's about time someone addressed it.

You're taking it too personally. There are people who are naturally mean and abuse others for their own enjoyment. There will always be people like this in real life and in the online gaming community. And yes I'm a normal mapler who plays to have fun.

Maybe I would consider taking you seriously, but this post just affirms my suspicion of your obvious stupidity and ignorance; learn how to spell before you try to sound smarter than you are and end up looking like an idiot. You're a perfect example of a delinquent fool. Sounds to me like you have trouble with authority - daddy problems?

[quote=lmm616]I don't get why a few people bagged on DangerousEyes They're right... this IS how the real world like. That's not being a jerk at all, that's being human... As for normal humans OP, those are normal people in this game as of these days. What you're asking for is polite or nice people.[/quote]

Actually, it party depends on you, and your socioeconomic situation; there are always places like that where you'll find a lot of insensitive and inconsiderate people but for the most part, for the larger majority, people are courteous and respectful, albeit sometimes fake and pretentious. Many of the people saying this is how the real world is might just be unfortunate to live in such a neighborhood and are surrounded by like-minded idiots. The guys and gals in the working world know that the major problem isn't with a lack of respect or kindness, no no not at all - it's with subtle social and workplace bullying and being taken advantage of, while not being able to do much about it.

@melonmel don't listen to these kiddies. They themselves have no clue what they're talking about. And with regards to your post and your thoughts, I understand where you're coming from; we all go through that on occasion in this game. Unfortunately part of the reason is most of them are adolescent or per-pubescent little jerks. Just ignore them.

If you ever wanna be surrounded by respectful, kind, understanding, and mature people in maple.. you should come over to BERA so I can introduce myself, as well as to some of my good friends

I remember seeing you get your account get banned, and seeing you beg for your account back from the GMs and making many threads about it QQing. Stuff happens, we live, we learn, we move on. Maple is like real life? Step off that pedestal and re-evaluate yourself. "Get over yourself." Very good advice, start listening to yourself.

When you're in need of help, you seem to need to be coddled, but as soon as someone else says something you disagree with, you don't even hesitate to step on them.

Of course you will get called an idiot. No one likes to be bothered in FM getting an offer that is 10% of the actual price. And don't act like you don't know. You have to know right around the price.[/quote]

This is just ridiculous lol. If you can't see the flaw in your logic, then you shouldn't be interacting with people. Assuming someone should know everything bout it first, when they see it on people and they could be new, hell they made an offer, not like they know ALL the time.

You shouldn't let those people get to you and ruin your good time, just let there hate consume them. ^^ I think people act the way they do not just on maple, but the internet as a whole, because there is no fear of consequences for there actions.

Well from reading the comments iv come to a conclusion, there are two types of opinon in this thread one saying that "why do people have to be jerks" and the other" because its the way life is "but id like to add is that some people have hard ships in life and these hard ships teach us to be who we are to this day and immature brats that play this game and troll and cuss are the results of poor character integrity and i agree melonmel that people dont have to be jerks to other people that they havent met or dont even know because for one this game has a community and if your not helping and making the game worse and even affecting other people in a negative way your just wasting your own time in advance

But I do want answers for these questions because I am not like you. I want to understand people better because right now, I have a one-sided view and I do not understand why people are like this. If I could get some answers, it will help me understand different people much better and maybe I could actually have a conversation instead of being pelted with insults.

Also, for the last two, are you willing to give proper answers? You don't have to if you don't want to but I never seem to get good answers from people like you

I know it was a metaphor but I meant that nobody was getting stabbed or murdered metaphorically.

Anyway, I am rather intrigued by you and I was wandering if you could answer a few questions for me.
1. Do you like the real world being like this?
2. Are you happy right now? Or pissed because there are a few people opposing to your opinions?
3. What are your goals and values in life?

Thank you ^__^
