A Letter to the Respect Clan
Posted: Wed May 16, 2012 9:52 pm
The game has really changed over the past month to the point that it is has really begun to lose a lot of the fun we once had. There seems to be less compassion and more aggression.
I had a talk with Fish and we concluded that most of the issue is the lack of good content, basically the room / world is too small for the amount of players it has and we are literally all walking, running, and ks’ing on top of each other. Everybody wants to get that next boss at any cost and it has caused most to this issues we are all experiencing now. We both hoped for the upgrade to come soon and hopefully we could return to something that was more positive and fun.
Another problem with the current game is the lag. This took me a while to figure out but now I have concluded that lag is a bigger issue that we all realize. When lag is bad your screen is slow to update. So if you’re running through the grove thinking that you are alone, you could actually have another toon running ahead of you but you do not see them. You go to hit an enemy and “Bam” another toon has hit that enemy. Both of you are left with the… what just happened feeling. Welcome to lag and slow networks. How many times have you run up to an enemy only to find out that the enemy is dead already? The enemy might look alive but lag has delayed the reality. We all have to realize that this is a defect in the game and to learn to not get all worked up about it.
So this is my feeble attempt to try and restore some kind of peace until the update arrives. My wish is that Respect and EnternalSin can return to the friendly relationship it had before with mutual respect.
When I got into the game I honestly admired the term: Respect. Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, and achievements. To respect someone you hold them in great regard, esteem, reverence, deference, and consideration. I give respect to someone because they continue to do the right thing and look to take the high road whenever possible. People who you respect are the ones that look past their selfish needs to help all those who ask. By doing the honorable thing people come to want to be a part of that, and they want to join it.
Again when I first started playing I respected the clan Respect because of their actions. If Kslay had not gone out of his way to befriend me I would have gladly joined Respect. Even when I first was in EternalSin, I always thought how great it would be to be a member of a clan that helps peeps. It was contagious in that I would go out of my way to help others. I gave Mahdi countless heals never asking to join the group. I enjoyed helping and often others in turn help me.
But now Respect has turned into a bunch of crybabies. Several members are always angry, always looking to complain, and now never helping. They get all worked up about a few isolated instances. They are unable to look past any action and instead they have taken to the low road of accusation, jealousy, and condemnation. Now every time I see the word Respect I am so happy to not be a part of this childish behavior. Honestly if I was in the Clan Respect I would be feeling embarrassed.
This is a call out to the members of Respect, talk to your leaders and become the clan you were. Regain Respect in our world. Work with those that want to work with you. Realize that there are sinners and peeps will be making mistakes. There will be toons that push the limits, but hold to your principles and be the clan that is honored, esteemed, held in great regard and admired. To say: “We don’t need help” or “We don’t group” is arrogant. There has been clans with this "rule" and it has reflected poorly on them.
I am the first to admit that I am a Sinner. I have made a few mistakes, but I hope my overriding behavior shows my desire to work together.
I was driving down the street today and another driver came into my lane, cutting me off. My first reaction was to be pist off, I yelled, but then I realized I was in the guy’s blind spot and it was very likely that he did not see me. I changed how I felt and moved on and felt better instantly. I took the higher road.
Part of me wants to start some kind of war… I want to escalate the problem. But instead I will choose to help anyone that asks. Keeping in mind that it is a game meant for enjoyment and fun.
So out of courtesy I want to point out that Respect has lost my respect. I think most of your clan is better than that. I hope you will do the right thing.
Respect is not earned not by what others do to you...
It is what you do to others...
