Unless they outright told you that they're avoiding you cuz they think you're terrible, you very well may be taking what's going on the wrong way. Â There are a variety of reasons that people can be ships passing in the night, and only one of them is, "I really think you suck so I don't want you to get cooties on me."
Quote:Yes, I asked for advice, but there are people who have seemed as if my newness to the lore has been an inconvenience to them or a complete turn off. My point isn't that I'm upset that people didn't agree (there were also as many people saying the concept was fine as people not so I really could care less one way or the other), it's that someone else who may be newer than even I might find the treatment and responses as a complete turnoff to other RPers.
You said you played WoW and RPd there, so I'm a little confused that you think your treatment on this board has been harsh and cruel. Â I mean, this place is very, very, very tame compared to the WoW forums. Â Just because other people have corrected your confusion about certain lore bits, and/or disagreed with your explanation of your concept, doesn't mean that anyone hates you. Â If being honest and blunt with you means I've been grinding you beneath my heel, well, I guess I turned into a Domme while I wasn't looking.
Quote:I know several people have approached me after this thread telling me that they're afraid to voice questions and concerns because they're afraid they'll get jumped or make someone angry and that is what I mean by breast feeding. People shouldn't have to change characters constantly to appease the ones that disagree.
No one told you to change your character. Â You are choosing to do so. Â You asked questions, and they were honestly answered. Â If you don't like the answers, that doesn't mean you have to change your character. Â You can, quite literally, play whatever the hell you want. Â But, again, corollary - no one is required to play with you. Â Roleplay is a game of mutual storytelling, and that means that you need others to play it. Â If you want others to play with you, you probably need to give them a reason for doing so. Â Someone is always going to have an issue with your character concept, no matter what concept you choose. Â That's the nature of playing with other people in an MMO.
As for the several others who are scared of coming here for fear that the posters will rip their faces off, well...I have yet to see anyone's face ripped off, no matter how nuts their concept was. Â So if they honestly think these forums are that scary, then they have bigger problems. Â Because an MMO is going to eat their soul.
Quote:I have mentioned that I am grateful for the help and I mean it. However, I didn't post this as a way for people to determine if I'm an irredeemable RPer and that feels like the outcome.
I really don't know where you're getting this.
