"borderline godmodding"

Nope. You don't ever have to play with people who have shown themselves to be immature, selfish people. And there are a ton of them on the server. All the time.

I will hold grudges against people forever, because I am simply not going to be dumb enough to play with someone who already once showed me they are all about themselves. I am here to have fun, not be the therapy tool of some person who has self-esteem issues.

I mean, when I came to this server, I didn't run around and grab everybody else's monster drops. I didn't run ahead and try to loot every chest and skeleton before anybody else could. I didn't make a power orc and then go around the server trying to beat up lowbies. I didn't have to learn these things were the acts of selfish twits, I was simply raised better.

And the internet is a hive of scum and villainy, overflowing with rude people who have no idea what respect even means, and are complete social idiots. I am here for the people who are here to have fun, and who do have respect ingrained in them. I don't have time in my life for all the selfish losers that infect every corner of the internet and gaming world. I give people one chance, that's it. Because usually the 20 minutes I spend with someone adventuring is either really fun, or it ends up me rolling my eyes for twenty minutes while some dufus runs around, acting like a completely self-absorbed and oblivious idiot, thinking they are impressing me with their super power build or whatever.

You're telling me, after a first experience, I should spend another 20 minutes of my life with the same twit, doing the same thing, because "godmodding"? No dude. Not even.

Poor behaviour has been reported and ignored. Screens - great idea; not the first thing that jumps into my head however. By the time it has the moment has gone. Easier just to avoid.

Oh, and I don't want to play an a$$hat. It's just not fun for me.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it

This is getting way off topic from setting hostile. I think the answer of yes it is still needed mechanically was enough to answer the OP.

Locked.
