Are we too harsh?

Second off is this better for your virgin ears?

Oh god I lol'd.

Notice the ( :P ) (sarcasm)

Dude, I am a former US Marine. There is no amount of profanity that could ever bug me. I think you guy's sarcasm detetor is broken.

I was suspecting so but wasnt sure after eteo comment. Either way u seem like the kind of guy that can take some teasing

A large portion of society today, at least here in the USA, is of the "SPOON FEED ME RIGHT F'ING NOW G-DAMNIT!". They want instant results with zero effort. They want people and governments to do everything for them, including wipe their arses.

This personally disgusts me. Its vile filth that should be exterminated off this planet. The above poster that pointed out that I treated him with the "you didn't help me" crap. If you would have USED the damn search button, even for a second... or browsed a few paages of the forums, you would have seen the huge trend of Shaman related posts.

The argument of "if you tell them to just search instead of helping, you ruin the search results" - so you'd rather have 100 pages of threads all saying the same thing, because everyone asks similar questions? Seriously? Or You're suggestion of "suggest helpfull search terms"... do you want me to play the game for you too? How about I get a job to pay for your WoW subscriptions as well. F'ing wanker.

The answer to the most general questions are clear as day. If you can't find them, you probably shouldn't be playing video games in the first place, while instead getting out in the real world searching for a clue.

This forum has not yet begun to see "harsh", and I hope it doesn't end up going down that path.

/end meltdown :P

Like I said, if you can't dig into this great and *free* resource that you give us, to find answers to common questions, then multi-boxing is not for you. You have to be a tinkerer at heart, naturally curious, and creative. I've learned all I needed just from reading the posts by the true pioneers who hang out here - and learned even more just reading *everything*. Then, once I had some specific questions, I knew the lay of the land here and knew how to find it for myself.

Here is a great phrase to use in business meetings or other situations where someone is acting like a child:

I want a pony!

I want a pony!

FOR PONY!(Bonus points if you get the reference)

IMO if they are posting stupid questions like that in the general forums, it means they haven't even put in the effort to find the newbie/beginner forum. Which means they are fair game.

In the newbie forum, some leniency may be a good thing, although i really don't think we have been unduely rude.

Everything a boxer needs to know is in the forums/wiki's. (I am proof of this, i 5 box and got all the information i needed from these forums and the wiki here) New people just need to learn to do some research. People that join a forum and start screaming for help on the first few posts rarely receive a good response.

I don't think people are being harsh. I think some people have unrealistic expectations on the assistance they think people in this forums should provide. Its a hard thing to setup, its not for everyone. The sooner new people understand this the better.

Please continue the discussions and I shall continue to lurk. (Like i am sure there are many more boxers that lurk on this forum but don't post)

You know what's more interesting?

Ever since I play WoW (day 1 retail) I've been somewhat of a carebear. (ie. easy going, never frustrated, gieving hugs to everyone.) But since I started multiboxing, I've developped a more harsh, direct attitude ingame. Possible from the people being negative about multiboxing. But I lost my carebear stance in many situations and feel like I'm a lot sharper and to the point when it comes to generic things. xP

This is definitely true for me. I still consider myself a helpful and fun individual. But, you will need some serious counseling should you decide to flame me in a BG. :evil:

As for this topic, of which many opinions have been voiced, I'm all for some active moderation of new posts- the post should be deleted to avoid clutter, and a friendly PM sent informing them of forum guidelines (b/c they were obviously inept enough to not read them) and pointing to the wikisticki. A generic message would do. This would require active moderation, but I'm sure there would be many volunteers- self included.
