And of course the trolled response they got was basically if you aren’t a top 100 guild, you suck and should get a life.

I know it’s a cheap shot, but it always strikes me that anybody who invests so much in a video game that they care where their guild is ranked is on very, very shaky ground when it comes to telling people to get lives.

Having nothing better to do than invest large amounts of time, every day, to playing a video game does not to my mind put one in a strong position for criticizing other people’s life choices.

The reason I didn’t comment on this earlier was because all I really had to say was “hear hear” and then I thought, oh never mind, cheer for Beru anyway

I guess you will have to go console yourself with your Xod’s…

It’s too bad that the official forums are so unproductive. It could be a nice place for a community to build…if people were constructive and pleasant there!

This is something I don’t get! Exactly what is the rush?!?!

It may take others longer to “beat the game”, but hey, they will likely have fun doing it…and their fun may even last longer

Oh man! Only if we can be power twins! I call dibs on shape of…uh…really high wind?

I can’t wait to read your post! However, I would have to agree with you, trolls are trolls and will likely always be immovable in their opinions.

You can’t carry on a conversation! Which is why I have to remind myself with some frequency that you should never argue with an idiot

I think you have hit the nail on the head with this.

I 100% think that trolls are nasty because they need to validate themselves…somehow.

Closemindedness is never a good thing!

Sadly, it is often used to make someone feel better about themself, which doesn’t always yeild the best results.

Unfortunately, you are right. When someone has nothing constructive to offer they do often revert to making personal attacks, and that is just sad

I understand that there are trolls aplenty floating around, but it still make me angry!
