I apologize, but I understand

Let me say I'm sorry for the actions of members of my clan, hopefully it will not happen again.
That being said I completely understand why they did it.
This game is predominantly played by young men who sometimes let their emotions overrule their reasoning. Throw in the competition aspect of this game, and the constant victimization they endure at the hands of higher leveled players, and everybody looses control at times.
I'm not going into specific names or events but it is safe to say that when you are constantly killed in the arena, even while killing your glad that you camped an hour for, and you work hard to camp and lock bosses only to have an "adult" come along and attempt to steal that boss, or denigrate you because your clan can't kill a higher level boss for whatever reason. It tends to make you angry.
Before anybody gets all pushed out of shape just know that I'm not pointing any fingers. These are more or less general thoughts aimed at possibly making people think before they act.
Those of us who are older, or less prone to emotional responses to the game maybe should think about being better examples of fair and ethical game play. Instead of taking the low road.
I am not always proud of myself mostly for things I have said while angry in the game, and for that I apologize again.
I can tell anybody who cares to listen the current state of behavior should not continue, people can only take so much before little mole hills turn into big mountains. I for one would rather play a game where good competition and good sportsmanship go hand in hand.
