Are People getting ruder and ruder?

[Bella]

Im old my Pirate is old and my guild is old. Im old and cranky. Thats why LOL

No really. I have seen this as well. Back "in the day" so to speak the rudeness was mainly limited to those in their late 20 and early 30. The late 30's and 40's usually had calmed down by then.

Now the rudeness is no longer limited to those levels but , I have seen more and more high level pirates being rude. Not a good thing for the game as a whole. I find myself staying on quiet servers and mainly ignoring most players whom are not a DW. However I will go out of my way to say Hi to any guild I see active here on POF.

Overall I thing most of the older croud who have played for years shy away from "noobs" so to speak because we find it tedious helping those whom refuse to help themselves. EVERYONE was a noob once and they should do well to remember that. However, when you have a pirate that is rude in asking for help it is not hard to refuse. Now again there are many many new players that may need the extra push to finish their quest.

Instead of killing the brigand for them why not show them how to use their weapons and skills to do so. Or even just heal them.

Ok dissertation over.

Oh one last thing, just be polite you never know if that level one has a few dozen 50 or not....
