(Scroll to bottom if you're too lazy to read and just want the rundown.)
I've seen a lot of hatred throughout my CH days between rival clans and simply people who just "aren't compatible" with others, but I never really understood why people are so arrogant to others. I understand trash talking the opposing team to a certain extent, but It seems kind of childish to hold a grudge against other people for choosing a different clan than you or simply killing a boss you wanted. Anyways I have a few specific questions about this topic the first one being...
Clan Rivalries! I always wondered why people get so riled up and banter back and forth about reasons why the other person sucks and whatnot. I'm not exactly a rocket scientist but I believe the point of Celtic Heroes is to bring the players joy and entertain them. I see people trash talking others simply because they don't have as good gear or are camping the same boss as another group and it just always irked me. One time, as I was waiting for 160 with my clannies he magically spawned as a 6*. Naturally, Elite was trying to get a group (Which they couldn't because it was the middle of the night) and Wolfgang was doing the same. We scrounged up a group of 6 or 7 people and decided we'd give it a go. As elite pulled mobs they would say things like "You can't do it" and "Stupid kids, trying to take with a small group" and name callings etc but I never understood where it came from.. What did we ever do to you besides present a challenge? Next thing I was wondering is why people take it to..
Forums! Bantering and trash talking in game is one thing, but bringing it to forums just seems a bit childish don't you think? I see posts everywhere of people just pointing out spelling errors or saying someone is stupid because of their opinions but I never really understood it all. There are a few people like Bluewing who aim just to cause chaos for no reason, but for an entire group to be bashing on another is kind of retarded... I also see entire threads dedicated to "This person killed me in arena" and "this person's so dumb look what he did" but where's the fun in that? If you think about it, forums is the next closest thing to Real Life which brings me to my next question, which is kind of an odd one.
Real Life Interference. I know a few people who know people from their rival clans in real life (2 to be exact, and they know each other so it's basically 1) but I always wondered how they interact out of CH. Do you have drinks at their house and talk about life or do you see each other on the subway and scowl at the other person because he killed a boss you wanted the previous night?
So basically I just have 3 questions.
1 - Why do you, personally, feel the need to insult rivals and make them feel lowly in game,
2 - Why do you bring the fighting to forums? Seems a bit far don't ya think..
3 - If you know someone out of game who plays and is a rival IN GAME, how do you interact with them OUT OF GAME?
We're all people, people. Even the scammers have lives out of CH and I doubt all of them go around swiping peoples purses and their favorite candy bars at the nearest convenience store. Except Dakota. He does that for sure. Anyways, I doubt anyone will really care about this post, but I really am just curious... Why the hate? We're all in the same boat, aiming to play the perfect game for entertainment, why make it miserable for someone else?
