I hate that word. I've had an experience like those on two separate occasions.
The first one was at Darkhart Abassa (I realise the error of my ways). I was happily fighting, in a good mood, when I noticed this guy. I made a little joke about his name, I think he found it funny, but this other guy came along and started saying in capitals that my joke was 'hurtful' and I should 'apologise'. I said that the guy didn't really mind, because he was already LOLing. The guy just kept on, telling me to say sorry and stuff. This guy was trying to be the boss of me. I said sorry anyway, because I was sick of him. Then he started insulting me, calling me a fartbag (and a noob), and the other guy joined in too. I reported them both and left.
The second one was a lot more offensive. I was on my little character at Neban (Abassa), about level 8 or so, and I was getting rep, being revived when I was knocked out, which was nice of the guys fighting there. Then this guy joined up and noticed me being constantly knocked out. He started calling me a noob and refusing to revive me. I told him that this wasn't my main character. Naturally he didn't believe me. This nicer guy kept reviving me and telling the guy that he shouldn't say those things, regardless of level. I got sick of it and went onto Misty and to find him, but by the time I'd got to Neban he'd scarpered.
What has Pirates come to?
