I've noticed a pretty ridiculous amount of anti-sociality in multiplayer games nowadays. It can't just be blamed on "uhh they censor chat so you can't say moron", it feels like there's some bigger underlying issues.
I just want to have fun with people
you know team fortress 2 community servers still exist and people use that shitty ass steam voice chat to talk to eachother. just join an alltalk server like skial. every other source engine game is the same. I joined a csgo surf server and people were talking about <latest video game release>.
roblox has voice chat and actual adults play that game. women even. they have adult only servers too. I'll mention vrchat here even though that population is much worse than roblox
the modern game is not really designed for casual conversation. comms are for strategy and nothing else because we can't have people having fun in voice chat or the losers in suits will have to hire moderators.
You're a narcissist
If you say that you're not a narcissist, that means you're obsessed with your ego and perception of yourself which is why you felt targeted, which means you're actually a narcissist
Of course it's circular logic, the goal is to only attribute bad intentions to every human being
If you don't do charity, you're evil and you need to die
If you do charity, it's because you want to feel good doing something, which means you're selfish for wanting to feel good, which means you're evil and you need to die
If you bother people, you're evil and you need to die
If you don't want to bother people, it means you're obsessed with how the interaction will affect you, which means you're an egotist, which means you're evil and you need to die
All humans are evil and need to die! DIE! DIE! DIE!
I get what you are trying to say, anon. People who tend to claim they are one thing usually think of themselves as the opposite thing. Saying what they are or aren't is like a mantra, so they won't get found out.
What you aren't considering here is that a lot of people actively downplay themselves for sympathy and understanding why they are doing it, which is a far more common tactic among human society.
These long winded diatribes in comics and TV always come from people who sit there and craft perfect arguments long after the person they're mad at is long gone. It's some kind of therapy ritual they use to cope with years of getting blown the fuck out in arguments in person.
It’s really funny to know how old this comic is because no way in hell you’d have this woke (in the original sense of the word) approach trying to invalidate anxiety. Because even implying that it’s time to grow up and stop being retarded and anxious about everything would get you crucified.
Anxiety is real retard.
And not wanting to take chances because they might backfire or place you in an awkward position is a valid fear.
Being self-aware =/= narcissism
>Because even implying that it’s time to grow up and stop being retarded and anxious about everything would get you crucified.
No it wouldn't. Get help for your persecution fetish.
Same thing. Just a cope and mental gymnastics to justify your inaction. You don't actually hate others and you really wouldn't do anything to them. FYI: literally every introvert and shy person thinks this way and overestimates themselves like that.
It's time to grow up, learn to reflect on yourself, and change. You won't ever be happy living like this.
>Want to play obscure and or dead games >Have a decent social circle of close friends, friends and in general people that might be interested in whatever game I've picked >Rally up the squad >Fun is had by all
So this thread has too many replies for anyone actually read anything I post so I don't why I'm bothering, but basically the reason the comic in the OP happens is the goal of these games has fundamentally changed and there is no good reason to talk to people in a matchmade party. You're never going to see them again, they're simply a means to an end for all intents and purposes, they MIGHT AS WELL be bots.
People still say "hi" at the beginning of parties and "thanks" to be polite, but there's no reason to say anything unless tactics need to be discussed or someone fucks up.
I read this
In addition I'd like to add that the opitimal way of playing these games are discovered and widely known almost immediately as well, which also causes people to not discuss strategy and only speak up to bitch about you playing wrong
I've noticed a pretty ridiculous amount of anti-sociality in multiplayer games nowadays. It can't just be blamed on "uhh they censor chat so you can't say moron", it feels like there's some bigger underlying issues.
It honestly is that, plus the addition of no need for commitment anyway. A lot of multiplayer things or matchmaking/queues remove the need to even communicate absolutely anything to begin with. Added to that people just being discouraged from speaking at all in game for any perceived slights, then you have a dead game. 3rd party appa have taken over the need to communicate in-game anyway, as computers are powerful enough to just tab out of the game if you want to check on other people. You don't need social features in games anymore to check up on anyone, you have social media for that now, so all that remains is the absolute bare bones communications to be able to make progress in the skinner box and nothing more.
The truth is I find your voice annoying and I don't like hearing it in my ear when I'm trying to relax and play games so I have voice chat turned off completely. I don't play vidya to make friends with strangers.
>be low rank subhuman >blame others for all your problems (they're just like you)
Yea. Just stay in Ganker and doompost about everything. Will help you cope.
the truth is you guys are just unsocialized and if you open up a lobby with "any mics?" its like getting a cold caller on your phone. if you want people to open up and talk to you then be the first to start comming tactically and keep doing it, people will jump in almost always
It depends on a game. In fps games using text chat is pretty much impossible if you're playing comp. But in a game like Dota I can use text a lot and still stay relevant.
>Get in party with a group >Start talking >others start talking to me >We get a good conversation going >This party is actually really fun >Party breaks >I never see them again
repeat 1000 times and you have the average healer experience.
MMOs will never be social again and it's just something we have to accept
everybody just wants to do things as efficiently as possible to get their daily reward. no time for talking unless it's to call you a retard for not knowing an esoteric mechanic from a dungeon made a decade ago.
>Play Massively Multiplayer Online game >Don't talk or engage with anyone
Can someone explain this autism? The games aren't even that good literally the only reason to play them is to interact with other players.
Voice chat killed MMOs. And I mean the existence of voice transfer itself, obviously most MMOs don't have mic function. Online information should never have left text format, and internet should never have left the cables and become wireless.
Usually people have a discord group they're in voice chat with and they only talk with themselves, every other player is basically an NPC. I used to play with a group like that but I just got sick of it. Countless times they would complain about a guy not using a skill but never make any effort in telling him to use the skill and they'd just votekick him out of the instance for not coordinating in the dungeon perfectly, like communicating with him wasn't even an option.
>Countless times they would complain about a guy not using a skill but never make any effort in telling him
Oh god, this happened a lot at my group. I felt really bad because no one puts themselves in the newbie shoes.
I'd poke them to see if they could try to see the problem but they would go back to complain: >"Yeah, but how is he going to know?" >"I don't know." >"Then try saying it to him." >"He won't learn if I say it right now."
I just gave up and would say it myself to the newbie.
This. I only chat with my guildmates or anyone who directly addresses me in FF14 but there have been plenty of times where a noob got us party wiped for falling for a trap or not knowing a mechanic. I get the struggle since I was there so I do try to tell them, in a very polite way, how they fucked up but it usually ends one of two ways: >wipe >"Hey everyone, lets try to stick together so we can avoid the AoE damage" >everyone complies and maybe gives thanks at the end when we succeed
Or >Some fag gives me the whole "You don't pay my sub" speech and we keep wiping until that fag quits or gets kicked
I'm honestly not bothered by having to deal with censored speech in multiplayer games but in 14 its taken to another level. I basically have to word my criticisms in the most non-threatening and positive way possible or else someone might throw a bitchfit or report me. I honestly love playing with sprouts because they are at least willing to learn unlike some of the braindead "experienced" players that I have to deal with most of the time. I swear most of my wipes in the raids come from some fucking gay who hasn't played in years but insists he knows all the mechanics.
this was unironically the best things about praetorium. if you trap a group of people in a mandatory cutscene for an hour at least they fucking talk to eachother
>this + their inexplicable, intense hatred of any multiplayer game
How is it inexplicable that people would hate MP games if they're afraid of talking to people?
>turn on voice chat >non stop mutt esl screeching, extremely low quality mics, tv background noise, some fag playing music in the mic >turn voice chat off again
I've always disliked non-visual communication: phones, VC, text, etc, gestures and facial expression are like, 50% of what makes a conversation work, especially when you've got a booming intimidating voice like many that always makes people think I'm pressuring or bossing them around.
>Recently pick up shitty strategy game >Join low tier clan since just starting out and it helps sometimes >2 gays and the clans leader talk to themselves literally nonstop about stupid bullshit and insist that "we need to talk to advance in rank" (you never do) >They start spamming clan emails over and over again insisting that we "need to talk" >Leave clan and apparently it implodes in the next 2 days because one of the other guys said something and the leader shut it all down >Already in new clan >Same deal but generally more chill. People active are schizos as expected but never get bothered for just playing the game >One of the guys from clan 1 joins >For about 3 days they spam the chat with this weird "flirting" and talking about how much they love doing events with the team and how great everyone is >Literally over the night they have a schizo meltdown again, leave everything dramatically, and talk about "declaring war" on the clan just constantly starting pvp with them and trying to get other clans into some kind of all out brawl >The other people talking in the new clans chat also freak out and go all schizo about "revenge" and "making him pay" and " we need to be diplomatic with other clans" that kind of shit >Throughout all of this I'm just playing the game never having sent a single message and doing fine personally
No, fuck you, you "people" who want to talk in in-game chats are always the most mentally ill freaks imaginable. I'm there to play the fucking game not RP with your schizo ass. If someone starts talking during a random queue I'll kick them if possible or just leave myself because all you're going to do when people just want to finish the goddamn dungeon is throw a hissyfit and start freaking out about not getting validated every 5 seconds
Usually the issue I find when talking to people online is that you can tell if they're going to be an asshole based on their accents.
Indians and the like are usually chill, but europoors are always maniacal and obsessed with Americans.
Whether it be a video game VC, or one on Discord, the moment you join they'll bring up America out of nowhere and start talking about how shitty America is. The irony being that they're using American software, while conversing with each other on American-invented technology.
They make fun of a nation that provides materials that they still willingly use. They profess the inferiority of that which created the technology they still use.
American tech is built on the back of Euro tech, and even then, there's nothing contradictory about you looking down on a nation and, at the same time, using their tech.

Is it really surprising people aren’t super talkative during their 5 minute chore dungeon runs? People were talkative in the actual game but that shit was just busy work
The only truly social games that aren't purely built around socializing I know of are Arma, DayZ, and Squad. In Arma and Squad people are always shooting the shit during downtime and there is constant chatter in combat. In DayZ, people regularly group up with other freshies around spawn zones, so you end up in a pretty personal 1 on 1 situation with some random stranger for potentially 3+ hours.
MMOs are no longer social because at this point they are played only by shutins who want a fake sense of progression and obsess over maximum efficiency.
>MMOs are no longer social because at this point they are played only by shutins who want a fake sense of progression and obsess over maximum efficiency.
You cannot be successful in MMOs without being social because you can’t auto match for anything actually hard.
>you can definitely be successful in an MMO without ever saying a word to others. also
No you can't because you literally cannot auto match for the hardest raids. People who say shit like this are just giga copers who go >What's the point of doing the hard raid it's just the same with bigger numbers
my friends and I used to play with frivvifox before she started streaming and doing ASMR. very weird because I want to support my friends and was happy for her immediately realized success with streaming - but she outgrew us in a few weeks and eventually stopped hanging out. then she moved to one her megasimp moderators house in australia lmfao
A retarded timeline showing you the button you press. Unsure why it's on the screen. Nips have autism and want lot of info on their screen but I'm not sure if they'd go out of their way to install addons for that
man i am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that most japs can't play video games for shit and the few that can just keep away from the public eye now
No idea, I don't mod my game and barely even play these days.

Pretty sure this is NA or EU, it's a very WoW-like addon setup.
That's not WoW, that's FFXIV. Addons like that are against the terms of service. These players are cheating. SE won't do shit, at most, a two week ban for these people and Yoshi P telling people he is disappointed but never actually doing anything.
Is there an addon that does my rotation for me? I do the same thing every fight so surely that's possible. I guess I could make an autohotkey script but that's more trouble than worth
Beat a streamer on pokemon showdown once.
Though, in a dishonorable way. Swapped in Trick Latios into Calm Mind Clefable. Typed "whoops" in chat, continued to Calm Mind as I tricked it a Choice Scarf.
The spectator chat hated me.
Streamer was famous in our country only. >friend asks help for a raid, needs dps. >I accept his party invite. >friend in our call says that I'm with a streamer. >"Why is he saying that about anon?" >streamer judged my skill and build based on my equips. >keeps saying shit, but only on his stream. >raid ends. >I got top damage and 0 deaths.
It's the "wrong" build but I know what I'm doing.
The worst part is that my friend continued watching that streamer. Why would they follow someone like that? I don't get it. I felt surrounded by idiots.
>play MMO >do dungeon on repeat trying to grind for a specific item >each time getting randoms >randoms consist of mouth breathing retards who just ignore mechanics causing wipes, retards who pull extra trash constantly causing wipes, retards who don't even speak english, instantly say "BRB SMOKE" when inside the dungeon then hold the group up for 10 fucking minutes, rng of the thing you're even after drops, people competing for the shit your trying to get, people who just need on anything they can need on, ect
Playing with randoms in an MMO is fucking cancer. The last thing I want to deal with is some weirdo who sounds like hes half a second away from trying to ERP with me whose probably a chud.
I'm doing a dungeon because I want a fucking 4% drop chance item and the game SHACKLES me to random retards who can act as a detriment to me getting my fucking 4% drop chance item by wasting even more of my time then the developers intended.

NTA but my misanthropy is alive and well thanks to the actions of other humans.

>I do like autismo grinds though I was hoping people would acknowledge my efforts
be like the one guy in WoW who refused to go alliance or horde with his panda character and instead hit max level grinding herbs and ore
You "hate" others on the surface. It's a defense mechanism you picked up, because actually blaming yourself and changing for the better was too difficult. It's not real hate; it's mere delusion and LARP. You'd get over it immediately if people actually reached out to you and your social life improved.
Like I said, it's a sign of you being incredibly immature. You have zero reflective ability.
I have already killed someone before so what you are saying can't apply to me
>You "hate" others on the surface.
nah, it's not surface level. > It's a defense mechanism you picked up, because actually blaming yourself and changing for the better was too difficult.
i've changed plenty for the better, can't change brordly behavior in others >It's not real hate; it's mere delusion and LARP.

at least in Call of Duty you can still get into a verbal kerfuffle at the halftime rounds but goddamn if it isnt soul sucking sometimes how little people want to interact. thats like 50% of the reason to play Multiplayer games. MULTI- PLAYER. the only people who ever talk nowadays are wanna-be streamers with Twitch in their name who are only shilling their attitude to create the fun enviroment whatever and those people try way too hard to funny.
"GG"- Immediately leaves match
That's already kinda a thing
They've implemented a filter that automatically mutes players that say gamer words whenever they join a match, and you have to manually un-mute them, though sometimes you still can't
People who want to talk are doing it in the streamers' chats where they don't have to juggle having to actually play the game. Community building is a job now, nobody wants to do it for free. If you want to find friends, you gotta pay up.
I used to just ignore them but now if they talk so much it's insufferable I tell them to shut the fuck up and just play.
You don't need to force discussions, if I want to talk we can meet in a place where I feel like having a discussion, not gonna do that in some grindy shitass dungeon or whatever.

So this thread has too many replies for anyone actually read anything I post so I don't why I'm bothering, but basically the reason the comic in the OP happens is the goal of these games has fundamentally changed and there is no good reason to talk to people in a matchmade party. You're never going to see them again, they're simply a means to an end for all intents and purposes, they MIGHT AS WELL be bots.
People still say "hi" at the beginning of parties and "thanks" to be polite, but there's no reason to say anything unless tactics need to be discussed or someone fucks up.

I saw this shit coming when dungeon finders and cross server play was starting to be a thing. Turned MMOs into glorified matchmaking lobbies.
I read this
In addition I'd like to add that the opitimal way of playing these games are discovered and widely known almost immediately as well, which also causes people to not discuss strategy and only speak up to bitch about you playing wrong

HI MOM
I don't want to micromanage I want roleplay in my roleplaying game.
I've noticed a pretty ridiculous amount of anti-sociality in multiplayer games nowadays. It can't just be blamed on "uhh they censor chat so you can't say moron", it feels like there's some bigger underlying issues.
It honestly is that, plus the addition of no need for commitment anyway. A lot of multiplayer things or matchmaking/queues remove the need to even communicate absolutely anything to begin with. Added to that people just being discouraged from speaking at all in game for any perceived slights, then you have a dead game. 3rd party appa have taken over the need to communicate in-game anyway, as computers are powerful enough to just tab out of the game if you want to check on other people. You don't need social features in games anymore to check up on anyone, you have social media for that now, so all that remains is the absolute bare bones communications to be able to make progress in the skinner box and nothing more.
The truth is I find your voice annoying and I don't like hearing it in my ear when I'm trying to relax and play games so I have voice chat turned off completely. I don't play vidya to make friends with strangers.
Pretty much every rank game has people with mics. Play video games for once, Ganker.
>*nasally american accent* ugh I don't even care anymore. I give up
>BYLAT CYKA IDI NAHUI
>uuuuuuuhhhh
>yo was that a woman
>be low rank subhuman
>blame others for all your problems (they're just like you)
Yea. Just stay in Ganker and doompost about everything. Will help you cope.
Ganker is full of casuals that hate competitive games though.
The issue with talking with random people is third worlders. Do you want to hear loud music, family members screaming, fans, smoke detectors, etc.?
You can't hear smoke detectors over a mic, twittertard
You are absolutely dimwitted. Thanks for my laugh today...
I love when people talk but people are afraid of being that pic so no one talks anymore
It's sad.
the truth is you guys are just unsocialized and if you open up a lobby with "any mics?" its like getting a cold caller on your phone. if you want people to open up and talk to you then be the first to start comming tactically and keep doing it, people will jump in almost always
What's the deal with mics, don't you guys use the in game chat?
Some people genuinely cannot type fast enough to keep up with it.
Couldn't be me.
It depends on a game. In fps games using text chat is pretty much impossible if you're playing comp. But in a game like Dota I can use text a lot and still stay relevant.
>Get in party with a group
>Start talking
>others start talking to me
>We get a good conversation going
>This party is actually really fun
>Party breaks
>I never see them again
repeat 1000 times and you have the average healer experience.
what does grindr have to do with anything?
MMOs will never be social again and it's just something we have to accept
everybody just wants to do things as efficiently as possible to get their daily reward. no time for talking unless it's to call you a retard for not knowing an esoteric mechanic from a dungeon made a decade ago.
Daily Rewards and questlines are the bane of MMORPGs.
>Play Massively Multiplayer Online game
>Don't talk or engage with anyone
Can someone explain this autism? The games aren't even that good literally the only reason to play them is to interact with other players.
The people that do this want an infinite game they don’t necessarily care about multiplayer
Voice chat killed MMOs. And I mean the existence of voice transfer itself, obviously most MMOs don't have mic function. Online information should never have left text format, and internet should never have left the cables and become wireless.
Usually people have a discord group they're in voice chat with and they only talk with themselves, every other player is basically an NPC. I used to play with a group like that but I just got sick of it. Countless times they would complain about a guy not using a skill but never make any effort in telling him to use the skill and they'd just votekick him out of the instance for not coordinating in the dungeon perfectly, like communicating with him wasn't even an option.
Meanwhile emotive full-body VR discourse will save MMOs. Once you add body language into the occasion everything becomes so much more soulful.
this is true, you can't avoid social interaction if i can just walk up and slap your ass when you're zoning out and npcing
>Countless times they would complain about a guy not using a skill but never make any effort in telling him
Oh god, this happened a lot at my group. I felt really bad because no one puts themselves in the newbie shoes.
I'd poke them to see if they could try to see the problem but they would go back to complain:
>"Yeah, but how is he going to know?"
>"I don't know."
>"Then try saying it to him."
>"He won't learn if I say it right now."
I just gave up and would say it myself to the newbie.
This. I only chat with my guildmates or anyone who directly addresses me in FF14 but there have been plenty of times where a noob got us party wiped for falling for a trap or not knowing a mechanic. I get the struggle since I was there so I do try to tell them, in a very polite way, how they fucked up but it usually ends one of two ways:
>wipe
>"Hey everyone, lets try to stick together so we can avoid the AoE damage"
>everyone complies and maybe gives thanks at the end when we succeed
Or
>Some fag gives me the whole "You don't pay my sub" speech and we keep wiping until that fag quits or gets kicked
I'm honestly not bothered by having to deal with censored speech in multiplayer games but in 14 its taken to another level. I basically have to word my criticisms in the most non-threatening and positive way possible or else someone might throw a bitchfit or report me. I honestly love playing with sprouts because they are at least willing to learn unlike some of the braindead "experienced" players that I have to deal with most of the time. I swear most of my wipes in the raids come from some fucking gay who hasn't played in years but insists he knows all the mechanics.
this was unironically the best things about praetorium. if you trap a group of people in a mandatory cutscene for an hour at least they fucking talk to eachother
It's always funny seeing the angry Ganker be afraid to do basic things, like talk to people.
This overwhelming fear is both pathetic and laughable.
this + their inexplicable, intense hatred of any multiplayer game
>this + their inexplicable, intense hatred of any multiplayer game
How is it inexplicable that people would hate MP games if they're afraid of talking to people?
My voice is gay and people make fun of it
i have a really nosey voice and yet i get along with people online
>turn on voice chat
>non stop mutt esl screeching, extremely low quality mics, tv background noise, some fag playing music in the mic
>turn voice chat off again
I've always disliked non-visual communication: phones, VC, text, etc, gestures and facial expression are like, 50% of what makes a conversation work, especially when you've got a booming intimidating voice like many that always makes people think I'm pressuring or bossing them around.
>Recently pick up shitty strategy game
>Join low tier clan since just starting out and it helps sometimes
>2 gays and the clans leader talk to themselves literally nonstop about stupid bullshit and insist that "we need to talk to advance in rank" (you never do)
>They start spamming clan emails over and over again insisting that we "need to talk"
>Leave clan and apparently it implodes in the next 2 days because one of the other guys said something and the leader shut it all down
>Already in new clan
>Same deal but generally more chill. People active are schizos as expected but never get bothered for just playing the game
>One of the guys from clan 1 joins
>For about 3 days they spam the chat with this weird "flirting" and talking about how much they love doing events with the team and how great everyone is
>Literally over the night they have a schizo meltdown again, leave everything dramatically, and talk about "declaring war" on the clan just constantly starting pvp with them and trying to get other clans into some kind of all out brawl
>The other people talking in the new clans chat also freak out and go all schizo about "revenge" and "making him pay" and " we need to be diplomatic with other clans" that kind of shit
>Throughout all of this I'm just playing the game never having sent a single message and doing fine personally
No, fuck you, you "people" who want to talk in in-game chats are always the most mentally ill freaks imaginable. I'm there to play the fucking game not RP with your schizo ass. If someone starts talking during a random queue I'll kick them if possible or just leave myself because all you're going to do when people just want to finish the goddamn dungeon is throw a hissyfit and start freaking out about not getting validated every 5 seconds
It's strange because I'm a total autismo Gankerirgin and I chat all the time ingame and get tons of friend requests.
maybe if anyone stop making fun of my accent I will
Usually the issue I find when talking to people online is that you can tell if they're going to be an asshole based on their accents.
Indians and the like are usually chill, but europoors are always maniacal and obsessed with Americans.
Whether it be a video game VC, or one on Discord, the moment you join they'll bring up America out of nowhere and start talking about how shitty America is. The irony being that they're using American software, while conversing with each other on American-invented technology.
>The irony being that they're using American software, while conversing with each other on American-invented technology.
Where's the irony?
They make fun of a nation that provides materials that they still willingly use. They profess the inferiority of that which created the technology they still use.
American tech is built on the back of Euro tech, and even then, there's nothing contradictory about you looking down on a nation and, at the same time, using their tech.
>muh euros
Ironic.
Europeans don't play on American servers though.
I play with a consistent international group for co-op games and we make fun of each other's accents all the time, sometimes in multiple languages
I'm so fucking bitter and spiteful it's no wonder I can barely function.

Most reasonable men draw a line somewhere. Mine is triple digit bodycount and literal shit. If you're cool with it, then more power to you, but it's not something I'd be proud of.
Let's be real. There's no excuse that could keep you in the purityfag dating pool past 2-3. Once you start having casual sex you might as well rack up the biggest count you can because going from 99 to 100 is going to gain you more slut chasers than it will lose you "reasonable men."

The only truly social games that aren't purely built around socializing I know of are Arma, DayZ, and Squad. In Arma and Squad people are always shooting the shit during downtime and there is constant chatter in combat. In DayZ, people regularly group up with other freshies around spawn zones, so you end up in a pretty personal 1 on 1 situation with some random stranger for potentially 3+ hours.
MMOs are no longer social because at this point they are played only by shutins who want a fake sense of progression and obsess over maximum efficiency.
>MMOs are no longer social because at this point they are played only by shutins who want a fake sense of progression and obsess over maximum efficiency.
You cannot be successful in MMOs without being social because you can’t auto match for anything actually hard.
you can definitely be successful in an MMO without ever saying a word to others. also
>MMO content
>hard
lmao
I barely ever say a word but still nobody gives a shit about me what gives?
>skill issue
No I'm pretty good I'd say above average
>you can definitely be successful in an MMO without ever saying a word to others. also
No you can't because you literally cannot auto match for the hardest raids. People who say shit like this are just giga copers who go
>What's the point of doing the hard raid it's just the same with bigger numbers
You ever run into a famous streamer while playing online?
my friends and I used to play with frivvifox before she started streaming and doing ASMR. very weird because I want to support my friends and was happy for her immediately realized success with streaming - but she outgrew us in a few weeks and eventually stopped hanging out. then she moved to one her megasimp moderators house in australia lmfao

Of course he died to Devour. Jfc the ego some of these shitters get.
what is that fucking guitar hero slider addon?
A retarded timeline showing you the button you press. Unsure why it's on the screen. Nips have autism and want lot of info on their screen but I'm not sure if they'd go out of their way to install addons for that
man i am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that most japs can't play video games for shit and the few that can just keep away from the public eye now
No idea, I don't mod my game and barely even play these days.
Pretty sure this is NA or EU, it's a very WoW-like addon setup.
>all these circles on the ground
I thought that shit was banned aeons ago in WotLK. Is this really what nu-wow came back to?
That's not WoW, that's FFXIV. Addons like that are against the terms of service. These players are cheating. SE won't do shit, at most, a two week ban for these people and Yoshi P telling people he is disappointed but never actually doing anything.
Is there an addon that does my rotation for me? I do the same thing every fight so surely that's possible. I guess I could make an autohotkey script but that's more trouble than worth
There are addons that do everything for you, yeah.
I'm kind of tempted to download all the most egregious addons and just go fuck around in PF
Beat a streamer on pokemon showdown once.
Though, in a dishonorable way. Swapped in Trick Latios into Calm Mind Clefable. Typed "whoops" in chat, continued to Calm Mind as I tricked it a Choice Scarf.
The spectator chat hated me.

>raid ends.
>I got top damage and 0 deaths.
It's the "wrong" build but I know what I'm doing.
The worst part is that my friend continued watching that streamer. Why would they follow someone like that? I don't get it. I felt surrounded by idiots.
I periodically get messages from TF2 friends telling me that I showed up in a FatMagic video.
I wouldn’t even know if I did
>play MMO
>do dungeon on repeat trying to grind for a specific item
>each time getting randoms
>randoms consist of mouth breathing retards who just ignore mechanics causing wipes, retards who pull extra trash constantly causing wipes, retards who don't even speak english, instantly say "BRB SMOKE" when inside the dungeon then hold the group up for 10 fucking minutes, rng of the thing you're even after drops, people competing for the shit your trying to get, people who just need on anything they can need on, ect
Playing with randoms in an MMO is fucking cancer. The last thing I want to deal with is some weirdo who sounds like hes half a second away from trying to ERP with me whose probably a chud.
I'm doing a dungeon because I want a fucking 4% drop chance item and the game SHACKLES me to random retards who can act as a detriment to me getting my fucking 4% drop chance item by wasting even more of my time then the developers intended.
Then go on forums and ask for groups you insufferable loser

If you have Gankerx it's under Filters tab, select general from the options list.
Also you get to see the post once you reach it if you want, it just avoids seeing it on every callback quote link while reading the thread.
You should add ;op:no too so that you don't accidentally filter OPs with lots of redirects to past archived threads
True, didn't thought about that. Thanks for the info.

You "hate" others on the surface. It's a defense mechanism you picked up, because actually blaming yourself and changing for the better was too difficult. It's not real hate; it's mere delusion and LARP. You'd get over it immediately if people actually reached out to you and your social life improved.
Like I said, it's a sign of you being incredibly immature. You have zero reflective ability.
Yawn.
Yawn isn't a counter-argument gay
>You "hate" others on the surface.
nah, it's not surface level.
> It's a defense mechanism you picked up, because actually blaming yourself and changing for the better was too difficult.
i've changed plenty for the better, can't change brordly behavior in others
>It's not real hate; it's mere delusion and LARP.
it's not hate, more like apathetic disgust.
>You'd get over it immediately if people actually reached out to you and your social life improved.

at least in Call of Duty you can still get into a verbal kerfuffle at the halftime rounds but goddamn if it isnt soul sucking sometimes how little people want to interact. thats like 50% of the reason to play Multiplayer games. MULTI- PLAYER. the only people who ever talk nowadays are wanna-be streamers with Twitch in their name who are only shilling their attitude to create the fun enviroment whatever and those people try way too hard to funny.
"GG"- Immediately leaves match
>at least in Call of Duty you can still get into a verbal kerfuffle
AI will fix that and the moment you say a no-no word of any kind you will be banned

They've implemented a filter that automatically mutes players that say gamer words whenever they join a match, and you have to manually un-mute them, though sometimes you still can't
People who want to talk are doing it in the streamers' chats where they don't have to juggle having to actually play the game. Community building is a job now, nobody wants to do it for free. If you want to find friends, you gotta pay up.
9/11 was 21 years ago which means there are people alive today who genuinely will never understand how much better it was
Sounds like their problem, not mine.
I think you could apply that line of thinking to a lot of modern humanity in general

I used to just ignore them but now if they talk so much it's insufferable I tell them to shut the fuck up and just play.
You don't need to force discussions, if I want to talk we can meet in a place where I feel like having a discussion, not gonna do that in some grindy shitass dungeon or whatever.

No (I do though).

Average experience in XIV
>can be reported for anything and everything you type and risk losing your license to play the game you purchased

Simple as.
All these complaints about Dicksword but really it's funny as hell how much you can get away with barring actual crimes. Jannies in big chats are gays but no different than here
TF2 and DRG are proof you don't need voice chat for players to interact with each other, just a robust set of callout lines.

MMOs are nothing but time and patience. The gear does most the work.

>This quest cannot be accepted without being in a party.

Why would I want to talk to you or use the in game chat at all when I could get banned for hurting your feelings or some shit? Best just not risk it.
That's how I feel these days. They want a safe environment? They'll have a dead one.

Funny enough I was way more social on the internet when the primary methods of communication were text based.
I simply don’t want to talk to people in voice chat.
soon bots will have gamer personality AI voice acting in multiplayer... they will banter with you... you won't know real from fake, unless one figures out a creative way to say moron without getting instabanned
