This is the exact copy of a post made by
Tom-Servo detailing the reasons why DTers and O.os don't
get along. I am hosting it here because it recently was
locked and is pending deletion, however, it is one of the
most intelligent pieces of literature to ever grace
vnboards, and needs to continue to exist. Without furthur ado,
If you are a carebear, I don't like you. I don't like
you simply because of the server you play on. Are you
shocked, little o.O? Are you disappointed that someone
could dislike you merely because you play on a different
server? Well don't be, because it will all be made clear
soon.
1. You are gutless.
When I started playing AC, I clicked on the lowest
population server (LC), just like the manual told me to.
After about a day, I was ready to uninstall AC. There was
NOTHING exciting about killing the same crappy AI
monsters over and over again. It was boring, repetitive,
and without risk or challenge.
Yet that's where you play. You don't want a challenge.
You don't want excitement. You don't want risk. You want
to play it safe. You want to keep all your phat l00t and
show it off to your friends, never risking it in any
significant way. You are cowards.
2. You are idiots.
Every single dev chat, I am forced to sit through
countless questions from absolute morons. None of those
questions are ever asked by DTers. DTers are concerned
about big issues, not why exactly the shadows aren't
mind-controlled by the Virindi into humping tuskers or
some stupid shit like that. Next time you want to know
just *why* pyreals are golden but pyreal armor is green
... ask yourself if it's really that important.
3. You screw over DT.
Likewise, in every dev chat, I am forced to listen to
countless o.O complaints that will get taken care of by
the devs, but issues like hollow balance, a minor fix,
gets ignored for months (and still is not fixed). When
Turbine wants to "balance" a weapon or a skill,
they pay 0 attention to DT because if they do, the o.Os
will whine. Every new patch, I get to see how some
idiotic carebear gets to goo in his pants because he can
make fucking fudge brownies out of drudge shit or some
l33t new weapon that is 25k value, while fixes for pk
imbalance are ignored.
4. You are dorks.
Look, we're all dorks that play this game, but you people
take it to a whole new level. You have fashion shows, do
little dance routines, search for matching pink armor,
and so on. That is just idiotic and pathetic. You are
absolute losers compared to DTers.
5. You attempt to prove your maturity to DTers
constantly.
It's just so sickening every time I see another o.O blab
on about what little kids DTers are and how immature we
are. You meet one or two morons and you judge the whole
server. The fact is, the vast majority of DTers are very
serious, hardcore, mature gamers. Every single time I
have EVER been accosted by some insipid moron or complete
asshole ingame, that person has recently come from an o.O
server. I always make a point to ask.
You are forced to be nice to them on your server, and
their real colors show on DT. You send your trash to us,
they act like trash, and we treat them like trash. But
they are your trash, not ours.
6. You cheat.
Every single major cheat in AC history was started on an
o.O server. Maybe that's because there is nothing else to
do on your boring wastelands but think of new ways to
screw your fellow players over, since you can't, you
know, ever actually affect them in any significant way.
7. Your boards and mods suck.
Most of the DT mods, with the notable exception of
Hagrin, are pretty self-confident people. Sure, they like
being mods I imagine, but they don't expect or even want
people to worship them for it. Power trips by DT mods are
virtually non-existent.
On o.O boards, it's like the mods are your fucking
parents instead of fellow gamers who happen to have
volunteered for a crappy gig reading posts all day and
editing them. The sanitized feel of your boards is more a
reflection of the anal insecurity of your mods than any
real commitment to the TOS, and results in message boards
that are boring and so sweet they might give you
diabetes. Why any of you bother to post is beyond me.
8. You take the game too seriously.
In every respect, you guys need to learn to relax. You
lose your items and you get stressed, so you play npk so
you don't lose them. You want to look super smart on your
boards, so you obsess about being diplomatic and polite.
You want to feel in some way superior to DTers, so you
call them children. You want to look cool ingame, so you
level and level for no good reason, assemble your
matching clown suits, and strut around town like it
actually fucking matters what some newbie in Ohio thinks
when he looks at the screen at your pixels. Relax. It is
just a game.
9. You think you are good at pvp.
Let me tell you this--if you haven't been playing DT for
at least 6 months, you fucking suck at pvp. You just
don't get that though. You think that your experience on
an o.O server is somehow valuable on DT. Carebears
constantly talk about what great "pks" (as they
call it) they are, and how they would own us all on DT
with their mains on Autumnskank or Rivercrap.
We don't care about your mains. We don't care about you.
We can tell that you suck at pvp, and nothing that you
say will change that. You keep telling yourselves how
great you are though because you do some goofy duels, and
you believe it. A retard might think he's a great
baseball player because he sees it on TV too, but put him
on a baseball team and all you'll wind up is a whole
lotta granola bars, Tang, and a crying retard with a lump
on his head.
And finally ...
10. You will read this, not bother to consider any of it
objectively, and spend hours formulating some bullshit
typical o.O "I'm better than you because I am not
filled with hate and vulgarity" posts that prove I
am fully justified in hating your miserable crying
carebear guts.
