A real life story.
2008-05-17 11:40 AM PDT
So, a few weeks ago something happened..

I was talking to one of my friends and for some reason we got in to the subject of playing in a party, such as in WoW.

And during this conversation my friend started talking about his experiences in group-playing. As it turns out he is exactly the type I can't stand in-game.

He is the type of person that runs and fetches a boss just to see his whole group get wiped.
He is the type that duels people just to mind control them and have them jump off a cliff, so that they will have to do one of the longest graveyard runs in WoW.

And all was fine and dandy since he thinks it is fun.

I couldn't do anything but stand there and nod. "Yeah, that's real funny!"

Truth is, I didn't feel comfortable. I wanted to lecture him. Tell him how lousy the players he is destroying for is feeling, and what a bad person he is for doing it.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't intrude on his way of playing games, and I couldn't tell him that my way is the right way.
I had to let him be, and close my fist in my pocket. I had to suffer in silence, for all the players that he had destroyed for.

What would you have done?

This is how sad you get when you are ganked.

I would say it straight up. Friends want the best for each other so you should help him out by telling him that its not right. And if for some reason you tell him and both of you argue and then break up as friends, get over it.

I would tell him that I disagree. If the guy is worth it, it will ignite an interesting talk. You might end up convincing him, or he might end up convincing you, or you might stand on your positions BUT it will be enriching to the both of you.

One shouldn't nod to anything a friend or relative or lover, etc, has to say. That, I'm sure, is plain wrong. :)

Maybe you should give us his character and server name so that we can grief him. ;)

Ganking is an important part of play in WoW. On carebear servers people have to resort to /rude gestures and name-calling that the other faction cannot understand....

Nothing else gets your point across like Charge + Mortal Strike.

I would have told him that he destroys the fun in the game by doing that...
If he is your friend, you should be able to talk to him in a honest way...
Friends don't tell lies to eachother and are always honest in my opinion =]
But however, when you're there at the moment, its hard to do... And i know that... ;-)
