It's hard to have an adult conversation with nauzhor
I have no clue who you are. Which, probably, means you don't actually know me either. I don't mean that you've never read my forum posts, I mean you've probably never actually had a discussion with me and have only based your opinions of me off of my forum posts.

You just can't talk to someone like that guy.
I've never known anyone who's actually had or tried to have a conversation with me to feel that way. Infact KriegsElend and I hated each other, until we chatted on skype for a while and realized we got along better than either of us would have ever thought possible beforehand.

What you fail to get nauz.. Is that respect is earned, not just given.. I know 100% that if you had of given it to darthy, he would of returned it with no grudges..
I don't fail to understand to understand that at all. I always got along with Aaron's brother Max just fine. We have had numerous conversations over skype, none of which were of a hostile nature. I show people as much respect as I feel they deserve. That doesn't mean I only respect people that are great players. I play with many players who are not great at the game, but I like them and get along with them because they are, at least in my eyes, great people.
There's several groups of players in my eyes.
1.) Those that are new.
2.) Those that have never really achieved much ingame, but aware of that, and fine with that, and don't boast about being amazing.
3.) Those that have achieved little ingame but refer to themselves as the best things since sliced bread and think they amazing and can beat anyone. When outperformed rather than humbly admitting it they point the finger at everyone and everything else.
4.) Those that do have ingame achievements, are quite good, but post as if they are not merely good but absolutely phenomenal and untouchable. When outperformed rather than humbly admitting it they point the finger at everyone and everything else.
5.) Those that do have ingame achievements, are quite good, but realistically know how good they are, acknowledge there are players better than them, and are aware of not only their strengths but their weaknesses as a player.
Groups 3 and 4 bug me. I'd put GIXXER in group 4, I'd put myself in group 5. I'm not calling GIXXER a terrible player, he's not, I just think he tends to act as if he is a lot better than he actually is, and that when someone does better than him instead of trying to do better next time he tries to shift the blame to everything and everyone else. He repeatedly accused me and my entire tribe of botting on uk10 simply because our members were winning looter of the day consistently everyday for a period of roughly two months. If he had instead mailed one of us, asked how we managed to farm so much more than him, and been humble instead of acting like a sore loser I have no doubt that most of the members in question would have been more than happy to tell him how we farmed to see if he could learn something from it that would improve his own efficiency.
I don't have a problem showing respect to my fellow players unless they see fit to repeatedly "spit in my face". If someone talks down to me and attempts to belittle me in their posts I'm not going to thank them and ask for more.
