It’s just short of 4:00 AM. I’m standing around in a crowd of pixels and light waiting for the public instance of Dragonstorm to open.

Some super annoying Soul Beast is spamming all his skills constantly, so the entire crowd is endlessly barraged with arrows, strangled bird screeches and his little stompy foots.

Someone has some sort of restaurant themed chair they’ve decided belongs in the middle of this crowd, and so another player decides to engage in a little RP. “Can you make me a steak? My gf normally makes it for me, but she isn’t online yet…”

And everyone knows what happened next. Half the crowd “Ohh… boy tryin’ so hard to sell it.”

Uh… sort of like YOU are trying so hard to make us think you’ve ever SEEN a street, much less are from one?

The sort of player patois employed by certain guildies makes it sound like they’re all on the fringes of some elite street gang when half of them are 45 year old men with tits bigger than their mamas who would scream like Mariah Carey getting a wedgie if anyone darker than Jim Gaffigan dressed as a snowman said “boo” to them in public.

Yeah… the poor guy was trying really hard to sell everyone on his “in-game and IRL” girlfriend who wasn’t online yet. That was obvious. So why make him a target? Why not just let him be? Seems like incel behavior to me.

All you Princesses of this and Lords of that, acting like you – personally – are the sole inspiration for the movie “Hackers” might want to scale down the judgement a bit, take a look in the mirror (grab your epi pens and your gluten free muffins!!!!) and maybe ask yourselves why you wanted to make someone feel bad just to prove obvious hard-sell was obvious.

By the way, “bruh”. That’s not a grill in your teeth, it’s headgear.

(Thankfully, the vast majority of guildies are way better than this.)
