this kind of game is **not** a good place for people who are depressed, especially at the higher levels, where play becomes cutthroat.this game is so hard to begin with, but with the constant pressure to buy things, to 'keep up with the Joneses" from other players (especially if you are a veno, and pressured to buy cash shop pets, or you are a fail as a veno), adds to the stress that depression already loads you with. too much, and many of us do feel suicidal...its callled 'suicidal ideation', where you long for death, but dont take the last step. people need caring and support, not cruelty...all people
Venos have it easy, try playing a mage before 9x0 -
she has a screwed up build and stays in fox form 24/7 i hear -_-;0

i wasnt speaking to you, tear, but to other depressed players. and im not trying to keep up with others now. i havent bought any 'worthless pets', i only play in fox form while in dungeons or with bosses, where i do what a veno is supposed to-debuff the bosses.
when i can, i will do a reset. and i would suggest that you not believe everything that Solandri posts....that is a lady who does not believe in the existence of mental illnesses to begin with, and many claims she has made about our time together are not quite accurate. your sources are very, very inaccurate if you believe i am in foxform '24/7'.....dumbest thing i ever heard said of me! whoever said that, most certainly does *not* know me at all,or spent any length of time playing with me. 99% of my time playing is as a caster....cant cast distant spells as a fox to back up your pet while grinding, thats for sure!Tearvalerin - Sanctuary wrote: »@foxrunning
you should know by the ESRB warning; gameplay may change online. the rating doesnt apply to peoples mouths. from the way we were told you, you could totally eliminate your money sink, and actually make some progress by playing in a more efficient manner. break this 'depression of keeping up with the jones,' play in a caster form, go kill mobs, make money. dont waste money buying and upgrading worthless pets, stop playing so much in fox form, reset your build, and then when you finally have EVERYTHING you could ever want, make your build back to however. i mean, you kind of lost my sympathy when solandri stepped into the ring and told us all this..[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Doubt the GMs are gonna bother with something so childish. If it's really bothering someone they need to grow up cause they are just being as childish as the person telling them to kill themselves.
That looks like faction chat. If its a problem thats really something that should be brought up with the faction leader.
What everyone fails to realize is we also have 13 year old children playing this game. Sometimes very disturbed 13 year old children. They are crying out. Just want someone to listen to them, talk to them. People are so ignorant in this aspect. Not everyone you see is an adult. A 13 year old kid is emotional. Regardless of how good or bad their life is. That just comes with being 13. Yes, parents should watch their kids on the internet, but more times than not they dont. It would be a really sad affair is a young child came to this game with that chat in mind that was posted and then left and did just that. I'm not saying its right or wrong that the child bring the emotional parts of their life into the game, but lets face it. If a 13 year old child is on here and not at the beach, or the movies or out with their friends they are most likely here because they are depressed with life. No, this is NOT your problem. But no one cares anymore, and for me that is a big problem. Our youth are being shattered by generations of people who simply DON'T CARE.
I hope you will read my above response. PEOPLE you are considering to be adults. Most of these are kids. Little kids. Anyone suggesting that someone kill themselves to begin with is just absurd. That really has no place in a game or in real life, anymore than the person who is depressed or hurting or upset.Dustinmurphy - Harshlands wrote: »actually the guy just ignored the guy he didn't care I think that what the guy said was a little overboard, but i would have to agree with you people who are too emotional shouldn't play games becaz people will say anything to make a person made or depressedTearvalerin - Sanctuary wrote: »she has a screwed up build and stays in fox form 24/7 i hear -_-;
Why was this even brought into the discussion? Fox was commenting on the likes of depression as she deals with it. Why smack her again with the make up of her build and tell her how screwed up it is?Tear, you may or may not agree with or like fox but continuing to insult her really isn't necessary.. is it?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Depression is bad but a game is not the place to find help. Meet a nice physchiatrist or find a support group somewhere, because a room full of anymous strangers is not the place for that sort of vital emotional outpouring.0 -
Venos have it easy, try playing a mage before 9x
I'm a pre-9x mage...and I have it pretty easy, too. You're just a fail Anon non-factor...get out.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...0 -
But I still doubt the GMs are gonna do anything about it brat. There is kinda a problem with that. Most kids arnt gonna talk about something like that in a chat like that. Normally they are gonna either keep it to themselves, Talk to their RL friends, or talk to people they are really close to online. Not in an open chat like guild chat but in a PM. Normally when someone does it like it is in the pic they are just looking for attention. The majority of MMO players are gonna act like asses because of that fact."Jesus fricking christ on a pogo stick. Your a mass of fricking idiots I swear!"

Oh I know. I was just trying to state that for some reason everyone thinks they are dealing with adults. Matter of fact those people you(not meaning you literally tig)talk to, flirt with, talk nasty with likely are 15 year old children or younger. GM's haven't done anything about world chat nastiness, I am doubting they will do much in the way of guild chat. They've got too much on their plates already. But, I am more urging people to try to think about it, not everyone on this game is an adult. They aren't geared to deal with adult problems, situations or circumstances. Telling them to grow up is absurd, they are kids lol.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Now how in the world does my post help you make the asumption im 13 years old? He replied to my post with intentions of insulting and i simply gave him a peice of my mind and if anyone acted like a 13 year old, read what your friend had quoted me earlier.
and @Kon you will never able to get the same DPS as a veno with herc or the the usefullness of sharptooth from archer on TT bosses, so out of the 3 classes mage is least wanted. and im petty sure i never said Mages dont get TT, im 89 and my 90 gear is already completed with +4-+6 refines, dont get ahead of yourself.0 -

Um Wow. I think I found a new canidate for anger management. How about you settle down a bit. You said your opinion and he rightfully said his opinion. Everyone has the right to state their opinion on the forums.

not to mention, as I forum guru..self appointed of course. You broke a bunch of rules. Calling names is also something that 12-14 year olds usually do a bunch of. I'd say that is why he said you must be 13. Really, chill out. If you are an adult deal with things in an adult manner and you will get more respect.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

*yawn* Good for you and your gear. But don't say that mages are the least wanted. It all depends on your company. If you got a sure-fire group of friends around that you always TT with...you'll always have TT, plain and simple...

At anytime people find a stupid reason to throw an insult then it's a reason to defend myself, it was not a tantrum, i simply did what anyone else does when insulted and retaliated despite what your opinons are, you are not taking into consideration any of what he said just because i made a simple quote which had no lie to it.0

When I get insulted I don't insult back. Don't include me in your "anyone" part.
I make fun of them, laugh, ignore, pet them in the head maybe.

But I have to emphasize BratFury's points. Its sad that people say they will have to die... or commit suicide... but its a cry for help. I hate when someone says they wanna commit suicide cause I know people are trying to hang on with everything they have at that point.
Tigriss is right though, perhaps sending in a ticket would be best._Jaysun_'s Wife

1. what he said wasnt agressive.
2. Words can't hurt you.
3. That was a short tantrum.
No not anyone will retaliate. Only children and people with anger issues will retaliat. Expecially the way you did."Jesus fricking christ on a pogo stick. Your a mass of fricking idiots I swear!"

Y'see, there's your problem. You can't "defeat" me right rage and insulting back...you have to use your mind for once and develop a little thing called "wit". You see, wit is like a rapier...sharp and deadly, but not all that strong brute-force-wise...so you have to execute extensive techniques and parries to disarm your opponent, get others on your side (thanks everyone for backin' me up), and strike.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

This was said purely to insult me for what reason? In no way had i been angry or upset, i replied to an insult with an insult, that makes it a tantrum? Lol yes.. right.0
