Are People getting ruder and ruder?

[katbluedog]

People are getting so much ruder now that the new loot system is out. The chance to get a great new weapon has caused people to go crazy. I have been told many times to attack other enemies because I didn't ask to join them. At Darkhart, other pirates have told me to stop attacking because I didn't ask first.

Why do I need to ask permission to attack an enemy? Why do we have to ask to attack an enemy? Not one group owns an enemy, even if they are trying to level up. Groups of pirates are claiming enemies and they get mad if you attack with them. I was in the Thrall area with my friend and a group of pirates called us rude for not asking them to attack. I was called a little kid and a rep stealer just for attacking an enemy they were attacking. I am not a little kid at all or a rep stealer. I may have been too low (at level 38) to attack the Thralls but I still want to attack them. I have a mastered gun and I have strong weapons. People need to stop being rude and mean. It is just a game! Sorry for a rant but this has been bugging me for a while now.

This actually happens now? I haven't played for a LONG time (at least half a year) and I wasn't here for the introduction to potions or the new weapon drops. I remember being at level 10 and my guild The Kry of Angels take me along on a trip to fight level 40's and that boss at Padres. I remember joining in a fight and people being glad you did, for the extra damage. If people actually tell you that you have to ask permission, I'm going to stay away from the populated servers. No more ideal for me. Only the quiet ones.

A couple of things everyone here has brought up is the age of these people. Now I'm here to say that I'm not an adult player but I know how to act right on the internet. I have to say that it's not exactly the age that matters all the time. Quite frankly I throw away age when I'm playing POTCO and I don't care how old they are. That's because as long as they're not rude or bothering anyone it doesn't matter to me whether they are five or 35.
