[General Discussion] Gaming bullshit...

Quote:

You can assume otherwise all you want, but the truth is I'm not stupid enough to fall for that, the only time I would have I was too newb to have anything worth taking I just have some strange knack for finding lolz and fucked up stuff with online games. The reason I'm bitching about it is because they can pretty much bypass the whole system to god status while everyone else is 'grinding' or whatever you want to call it their asses off.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, are you are blaming the con artist for the stupidity of the victims? Anyone who gives away loot/gold to someone based purely on one's online avatar's gender doesn't deserve the loot they had. If you had to blame the con artists for something then blame them for making things harder for the real females who play the games, who are looked upon with skepticism and suspicion, if not simply pelted with ridicule and and all the little pre-pubescent kiddies acting like sharks who just smelled blood, demanding proof of their gender that usually involves a lack of clothing and a camera.

But other than that it just sounds like you just hate a great deal of online games or games that puts you in contact with other people. Although I do agree with you on your point with glitches, especially with online games where you'd think with the kinds of beta programs some developers have that they'd have things fixed up by release. Yet again and again these kinds of things slip by and nothing is done about them until the glitch has propagated to unbelievable heights.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Bosses are fine. I think the idea behind a boss nowadays is to act as a marker of progress, also bosses are a chance for game designers to implement something interesting that if done on a normal mob may become annoying and a significant hindrance to the player. Besides, playing a game where you pretty much only mow down fodder is rather boring, its fun to have a challenge once in a while.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
