U think ppl are immature by just trolling a thread?
Maybe they just don't care about a thread with the topic "Ways to be Mature!", cuz most of the ppl here are showing fake social interactions by coming up with examples they experienced and others who are behaving immature.
HE CAUSED PARTY WIPE! HE'S IMMATURE! Yeah...and those who are crying about a game are the mature ones.

If someone helps me ingame, I record their name on a notepad. If I find something nice, or have a little extra in the next few days, I'll buy and mail something to them. Usually MP/HP food as of late. Bronze charms-- little things, but, it's something that'll brighten someone's day for helping me. I can't do it for everyone, 'cause I get help a lot, but, I remember them at least. Instead, now, I've offered to help people and they'll squad me and 'demand' help, then not listen to me when I try to help (had a very nice experience with that in SP-- was doing Eido for someone, yet they wouldn't follow me to Eido.)

So that has something to do with being mature? My 5 years old brother shares candies with me - he's so mature.
Oh, and one day some lvl 1 pmed me and said he got ****, so I gave him 5m and some gear. *cough*

one sterling example of immaturity is Saitada's insistence on rude replies to reasonable posts. even most teens can be more courteous than his posts are.

Log off and stop playing a game designed for teens if you can't handle people being immature.

I was not being Immature. I was being serious. This game is designed and marketed towards teens. With teens comes immaturity. If your not able to handle that, then you should play something else.

Your inability to discern the difference between a rude reply, and a bluntly truthful one, is your own issue. You see my posts and immediately jump to the most egregious conclusion about their intent without bothering to consider the possibility that my intent was not to be rude or discourteous. You make an ASSUMPTION of my intent w/o knowing it.

In this particular instance, I was neither being rude or discourteous, I was being bluntly truthful, something I have a strong tendency to be with everyone, and you would have known this if you had read further in the thread to see my other comments.

I only generally get rude and discourteous to people when they themselves give me valid cause to be so, or I have taken an exceptional dislike towards them. Just because you and I have bumped heads, doesn't mean I automatically go looking for reasons to bad mouth you whenever I see you post. I would ask the same courtesy from you.

P.S. Even with people I have a dislike for, if their statements/arguments are sound, I will agree with them on it regardless of how strongly I may dislike them. I don't just assume that because they are posting, it is obviously drek.

Be mature ?

In argue, let the other win when you can't talk to them anymore . . just finish everything.
Clear, then never meet with that person anymore. :P
But if accidentally meet, just act normally like when you meet a stranger. b:bye

If he or she keep bothering you .. we know who the immature one. b:chuckle

Other one is . . don't join squad or faction then wreak havoc there if you don't feel
happy and want to blame the world for your bad day. b:cute

Don't post on these forum. b:pleased

Sugar causes tooth decay. Sorry Fox but you and I need to agree to disagree on how we deal with people. I do understand your method. I grew out of it years ago after realizing that it basically didn't work to get the point across. People generally **** all over 'nice' people anymore anyway (sadly).

I used your method for years and grew VERY tired of getting walked all over. Now.. I simply don't have time to be nice to people I perceive as idiots. The effort is wasted on them, and I'm not a doormat. If people can't handle having the blunt, bald truth thrown in their face to be honest, I couldn't care less. Their emo problems are their own, and they need to HTFU (harden the FRACK up) and grow a set.

So while I accept that your methodology in getting a point across is different than mine, for me, your method doesn't work. I do hope it works well for you, and that is not me being condescending, but truthful. I know you and I have bumped heads a few times. I just want you to know that I have nothing personal against you.

I must agree (In general, not towards any specific player). I don't post much but I do tend to read the forums a lot when I'm doing WQ or something In-Game. There just seems to be excessive and unnecessary flaming that usually leads to excessive and unnecessary arguments that usually fill the topic with unimportant and distasteful conversation.

You can't really do much about it, I figure, since we can't control what someone else posts. I, however, usually expect most players to generally present themselves somewhat professionally- or at least in a nice way- until shown that a certain player acts in a less desirable manner.

I've also learned who the regular flamers and bashers are, and usually skip over their posting.

I guess a method to lessening the animosity and upping the maturity is to simply ignore posters who begin to get rowdy with you and your post, and ignore posters who for some reason provoke you because you think their being idiotic.
