One would think that there would be fewer arguments between people who come together for the sole purpose of having fun. Nothing is ever easy with there are people involved. Thank you so much for stopping by.

In fact, I don't do a lot of it at all, and I don't rant particularly well (by which I mean the kind of rant that makes the reader either laugh or squirm -- laugh is ok, squirmy rants make me uncomfortable).<br /><br />But yes, it's accurate to say I'm fighting back against the anti-soloer. Sad fact is, the most intolerant players I've come across aren't the roleplayers (who are a lovely bunch) but the grouping players who think everyone else is not just someone paying their own sub, but a resource that the grouper gets to make use of; that, I have to admit, really bothers me. I pay my subs, they pay their subs, I try my damndest not to grief or annoy anyone, but past that, nobody has the right to tell me whether I should group and when, nor to call me names because I don't play like they do.<br /><br />That said, most of the time I couldn't give a toss. I just ignore them. But it *is* interesting discussion material. Some of my best friends and I disagree vehemently in solo/group and casual/hardcore type discussions.Ysharroshttp://stylishcorpse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-29772375820145150382009-05-15T17:23:00.000-07:002009-05-15T17:23:00.000-07:00@ Saylah - Thanks so much for stopping by.

They should go find it already!<br /><br />@ Exeter & Elnia - You are both right. The problem with solo v. group, casual v. hardcore, and such is that no one is really that extreme. I know I'll do a little of this and a little of that as my mood changes and having expansive games is a boon to that. I often find that I have more fun when I understand the developer's intentions for the game and play accordingly. Maybe people would have more fun if they thought about what they're actually doing.<br /><br />(Think?!?

I ...The problem I see is the boxes to begin with. <br /><br />I wouldn't describe myself as any type of player in particular. Sometimes I solo, sometimes I group, sometimes I PvP. Whatever. Maybe it's time we stopped thinking about interest groups and started thinking about the good of the game as a whole. I have a blog post planned on that point, no surprise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-28323971528187232122009-05-15T14:24:00.000-07:002009-05-15T14:24:00.000-07:00Great points (u see wut i did thar? har), all.
I...Great points (u see wut i did thar? har), all. <br /><br />I'm the kind of person that flitters (in a masculine way, of course.../flex) back and forth between casual and hardcore, solo'er and grouper, depending on what kind of time I have at a particular moment in my life. So I really appreciate that a single game, whether it is WoW, EQ2 or some other flavour of the month title, is able to let me get my game on with a minimum of fuss.<br /><br />In the end though, people need to quit moaning about things. Despite what they may think, it's not "their" game and their subscription doesn't get them a seat at the shareholder table.Iztlaan Xotechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965325092142267561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-63121842873007533042009-05-15T09:22:00.000-07:002009-05-15T09:22:00.000-07:00Amen and F'g amen!
