Why oh Why? what is with people!!

[aegrimonia]

It's not limited to Fiesta.. it's like this in all games..

but why is it that most of the people who play any game, can never seem to grasp the concept of searching for answers on the forums?

I thought kids were supposed to be smarter these days.. but the questions i see asked are about as ridiculous as a question could possibly be.

Every game forum in the world has the same question asked 50 times because so few people have the mental capacity to hit the word search and type in what it is they are stuck on.

I think games should have tasks you have to complete in the game before you can do anything else.. things like searching on the forums, basic commands for attack, how to get weapons, pets, spells, etc.. before you can do anything.. and ESPECIALLY before you can /s SHOUT.

This is a rant so expect to be flamed to the core by certain people I can almost guess will be here shortly and shoot you down. Won't say names though.

I have to agree with you, mostly. Just change 'kids' with 'people' and I agree with you all the way. It honestly, when i take a moment to think about it, befuddles me beyond imagination. I was never taught how to use a forum, no one showed me, I never went learning from guides... I just thought it was common sense to use 'SEARCH'.

It seems a lot of people believe they are the only one in the world with a problem related to what they post. Therefore, instead of searching, because they are a special case, they ask. What makes me more angry is that just below their thread is the SAME question.

Or in a sticky, the SAME answers.

That or they are so damn lazy. If they are that lazy though, searching would be a more viable choice since responses usually take time and a vast majority seem to be ADD disgruntled maniacs who need an instant response as if this was AIM.

I may be the oddball of the internet but using stickies, searching engines, and using my brain was always common sense. Or uncommon sense, whichever you prefer.

Nerria on my thread did you vote twin daggers?

just rememeber for some people this is their first MMO and dont know the basics like we veteran's do.

Why not just answer them? or just ignore them? instead of gettin all hyped up about it.

"It's not limited to Fiesta.. it's like this in all games.. "

And that is a true quote. It's not that I can't ignore them, in fact I do via the in-game filters and stuff, but it's that I feel sorry for them and angry at the same time. I spent 15 minutes teaching someone how to cast a spell yesterday. Needless to say they could've searched it, but I helped instead.

However, when I hear someone going ON the FORUM "How i cant get in kq halp plzzzzz"... I just get slightly frustrated that they could've looked 2 posts down or so.

I'm of two minds on this. ON the first hand, I SO agree. How difficult is it *really*(!) to check for the game's forums, hit f10 (which when your toon is brand new is HIGHLIGHTED for you), or even do a random websearch for info (all of which I did my first day)?

On the other hand, they say beauty is only on the surface while ugly is bone deep. The same can be said for stupidity (i.e. laziness). I've seen better trained rocks than some of my 'peers' in game. At least when you tell the rocks to stay put, they don't wander off following the shiny light.

Oh wait, no conflict after all in my mind:

The world will never know.

They should have an IQ test that you are FORCED to take before you enter the game and forums.

Because people in General are complete idiots(and extremely lazy on top of that). I truly wonder how most people even manage to tie their shoes in the morning.
I would guess 80%(or more) of them are completely computer illiterate. It is a major undertaking for them to simply turn their comp on, much less use any features.
Most have no clue what their computer's specs are even!( and that is pathetic!)
To simply download the game, install it, get it working properly using basic troubleshooting skills, and figuring out the games interface is Light years ahead of many's mentality.

If you can't start a car, figure out how to get it in gear, get it out of the driveway, and take it to put gas in it. Should you really be driving at all?
No, of course not. The same goes for using a computer and playing games.

Learn to use your comp correctly, use search features, basic troubleshooting skills, etc. Or, do us all a favor and repack your comp and send it back to the manufacturer.You are unfit to have one.

Does this sound harsh? Oh,well. The truth hurts sometimes.

:eek:Then who is replying?

[ShraksCorpse]

wow trebori....it's always refreshing to see the truth about human stupidity. ;)Seeing someone else rant about the morbidly low intelligence of the average human, gives me hope for humanity. There are others who hate stupidity!! The human race may yet survive.May being the operative word....

All I need is a 00 license and its on...As my title says I'll take on the mantle of pool cleaner....genepool that is...

Holy cow. I've NEVER played an MMO with so many people (like more than 3) that think the way I do.

You guys rock. If you're Teva players, you will add me as a friend IMMEDIATELY.

Looks like someone has worked tech support before. LOL @ pack it back up. OMG years of helpdesk have made me almost immune. Almost. Too bad I'm actually allergic to stupidity.

Nice Twain quote, but I counter with this nugget:

Amen. And people wonder why I have such a sarcastic outlook when I'm on the boards. Trebori nailed it. I feel like I've fallen into the lower end of the gene pool and am looking up at the bottom of it.

Oooo! My aching head....from all those "trumpet blowers". I guess this is why the world is in such a bad state! All the "intelligentsia" are online playing games! Too intelligent to handle the RL!
