Why are there so many

trolls in the raging tide forums? And I'm being serious, why do you think we, by far, have the most trolls in the entire PWI forums?

I mean have you seen other forums? Sanctuary probably has one of the, if not the best, forums in the game. You see almost no trolls on there, and no one could give you the names of the trolls because they havnt been given the superstar status that trolls on these forums have.

What is it about Raging Tide that attracted this kind of immature people? Is it because we were a new server? But then why isnt Archo like this? Personally I believe it was that all the wanna-be-factors from other servers saw the new server as a chance to become Factors (as you guys like to call it), so they came to this server.

I'm just amazed at how similar these forums look to other online games that have a demographic of 12 year olds.

Oh and don't try calling this thread a troll either, I can see that one coming...

and if I had to guess, some of the responses I'll get for making this thread are...
lolumad, inb4(insert stupid comment here), cool story bro, ETC

Anyways- suprise me RT! try to have a legit discussion about why this server's forums are littered with trolls.

ALSO: why do certain barbarians like to talk in third person? Won't name names, but it seems kinda stupid. Seems even worse when they talk about using forums during work, which means they're grown men, that like to talk like they're 3 year olds.

    New server with expansion = kids who want to be something important because they are not in RL and self-claim themselves as factors in a game. Of course they'll choose a new server so they can have the early bird advantage, like anyone else cares about their "factorness" besides the other kids. Oh wait maybe that's what they wanted all along, just a competition with the other kids? (and by 'kid' I mean an online kid, not RL kid... I'm sure you know the difference)

    What do kids do when they see a trend? They try to fit in, to be part of the gang, so they can become "cool". "Cool story bro" used to be something witty funny -- in these forums it's in every 5th post on average. But don't worry they still think they are using it for coolness. As long as they think they're cool, that's all fine right?



    "BeingHope is a troll" -> overused much as well?

    Imo, the gameplay on this server is too simple to draw any type serious discussions.
    -You won't see many experienced players in this server as opposed to the older servers.
    -Since this is a PvE server, PvP outside of TW is rare.
    -New players quickly level through tb quest, pq, and FC, ending up poor/inexperienced/unskilled BUT...
    -Most players rolled a tideborn, and tideborns have the least steep learning curve. This is because, in addition to being "unique," tideborns are also imbalanced so there isn't the "need" to learn and practice to become good like with other classes.
    -Trolling is the best natural response to noobs making statements; serious discussions are out of the question.

    tl;dr: We have fish. b:bye

    DaHealanator does not know what you could mean by speaking in 3rd person is hard. He is sure he could do it too if he was commited to acting like a 12 year old.
    IJS (oh wait)
    HJS (he's just saying)

    anyways! Borsuc is right. lots of nobodys wanna be something so they play a game and get the head start. Kinda what my theory was to begin with.

    agreed.

    and the comment about players from other servers.....

    yeah maybe some did do that.. i mean with how ess runs LC

    and i'm sure other servers have the same thing...

    who the hell wouldn't want a new start.

    when money beats all only thing to do is start a new.

    sadly enough your servers will end up the same way. x.x

    Now if you'll read my post, you'll see I'm talking bout the forums. Ingame, its not half so bad. Actually, I think we have one of the best servers in terms of ingame drama. Sure people litter the WC with stupid comments from time to time, but all in all, the drama level is low ingame.

    And to those who find it funny to troll this thread: grow up and get out.

    Are you trying to troll Fuzzy? b:chuckle Seems an odd thing to do in a rant about how much you dislike people doing the same.

    Even to someone like Fuzzy with the apparent intelligence of a 3 year old this seems a bit strange. b:shutup

    But me will digress from pointing out the obvious.

    What can Fuzzy say? Perhaps being known as the most epic fail barbarian on the server wasn't good enough for him that he also wanted to be know as the stupidest. b:bye

    first of all fuzzy, dont take it personally. I jus think people that talk in 3rd person sound stupid. Ijs.

    and your confusing flaming with trolling. Flaming is insulting someone, trolling is talking just to talk, and your being annoying for doing it.

    So if you really wanna lable me something, lable me a flammer. At least I won't just be falling in line with what everyone else does, which seems to be a theme for alot of the trollers.

    Server empty, ppl bored, it's a trend. If you look at Harshlands forum (the next emptiest server, you see the same amount of trolls). And also the ppl on RT arn't the nicest or the smartest ppl in the world for the most part. The OP made one of the smarter posts I've seen in a while in RT forums and still got trolled, nothing anyone can do.

    Me fails to see the difference, but that must also be a side effect of Fuzzy's 3 year old mentality. b:cute

    I pretty much don't. And once again you fail to catch the essence of this post. I'm simply asking why our forums are like this. It just interests me that our server, out of the few that there are, ended up with this many trolls. I spend much of my time in Sanctuary or Lost City servers forums, not just because I have alts there, but also because the posts are usually pretty informative.
    I mean come on, it really does interest me as to what made our server's forum like this. It really must of taken the perfect storm to get this many trolls all into one server, but I just cant find out what made them all flock to RT of all places. We're not the biggest or smallest server, oldest or youngest. Just trying to figure out what made us stand out.

    My 15min of fame? If I wanted that, I'd be trolling like everyone else and become part of the club.
    And as for "taking shots at fuzzy"- I guess you could call it that. didnt think of it as taking shots at him while i was typing it, talking in 3rd person seemed like another immature thing to add to the pile of immature things that was worth mentioning.
    And yes, if you troll, you are immature. There is no, "we troll to get responses out of stupid people like you," you simply troll because you're immature enough to do it.

    I mean hey, I managed to get responses out of quite afew people so far by being brave enough to point out the obvious trolling going on, and I didnt need to troll to do it. Simply made a post stating what I thought, not even complaining about trolls so much as seeing if there was a rhyme or reason behind the trolling that happens in our forums.

    Say what you want, but at the end of the day I'm not a troll, have never trolled, and will never troll. Havnt posted too many times, but not one of them is a troll. Maybe a flame or two, but not a single troll.

    Hey look at you.


    Insulting other members? Check.

    Blindly claiming that you are right and refusing to see what others think? Check.

    A sense of superiority? Check.



    Yep, you're a troll.
