Crap community

[Talryx]

I will say this. When I first found out about Nost a couple of months ago, I was thrilled. I was playing at least a few hours a day for a couple months and I had several alts going. But after a certain point, I started to lose interest. At first I thought I was just getting sick of the game but honestly, it's the community.

I'm not sure yet if I am 100% done or not but I haven't played in a couple weeks and really it's because easily 50-75% of the players are total assholes. I'm not even talking about racism or whatever in the chat, I mean going out of their way to be total scum. I have seen people screw players IN THEIR OWN FACTION doing shit like killing a quest objective with a long spawn just so the other players have to wait around even longer. How about all the dungeon nonsense with people need-rolling shit just to sell it? Or the ganking psychos that have a dummy account on the opposing faction, just so they can track someone down to kill on their main?

I could list a lot more examples but you get the point.

Wow...completely different than what I've had.

Help out where you can. And most importantly, just roll with it.

Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. A free game with player-owned channels is going to draw immature assholes like flies to honey.

It's a common fact that international free games with big player base have the worst average attitude.

On smaller (especially non international) server things go really different. Who is an asshole there is rejected, blacklisted.

Here, it's just one of many.

Honestly, man, WoW is just going to be like this on pretty much any server you choose. I have a theory on why. Mainly based on it's size which allows for massive international play. I have no proof to substantiate this but I believe it is easily the largest international community in any MMO. In terms of the amount of different countries and diversity that's included in the population.

I'm going to preface this next part with the fact that ALL players can be total assholes. However, I've found that the majority of these players are foreign. Some speak english, some don't, and others can't even communicate but show toxic behavior through ninja-looting and general douche-baggery. I'm sure some of you international players out there are nice - but the majority of you aren't. And as natural as human behavior, we will lump you all together and generalize everyone the same way that we meet who is foreign until proven wrong. Sorry - but your vocal minority/majority made this bed that you must all lie within.

The solution is just to be in a NA guild and let the good times roll. I pretty much just use /world for hilarity after a too-large dab and thank marijuanjesus I don't have actually interact with any of these retards.

You should try it, sometime.

What helps:

/leave general

/join world

Especially in the barrens this improved my experience by a mile. I was nearly going to quit too by sheer disbelief of what people there were saying. I had the feeling I was in a nazi camp. The racism/sexism wasn't in any way 'funny', not even for a puberal psycho killer with an IQ below 50. That bad, yes. Often even worse.

Now? I just check world chat when I want to do a dungeon, for the rest I ignore every form of general chat and just level on, all happy with my own little world. My dungeon runs have been mostly great, btw. Also a healer here.

If you think World is better than General, then you need help lol. Imo, it's a hell of a lot worse.
