Is this socially acceptable in WoW?

Hello, I see you posted a thread about discord. I’ve never been kicked out of a discord community so I’m going to assume, that since it seems to happen multiple times to you, that the problem is probably YOU, haha!

Thanks for your post and have a great day!

But they have limitations. They would be horrible with private messaging. As they are, they offer a limited interaction between people with the game in common, and that much familiarity is easy to handle.

I’ve noticed a similar trend with straight-backed mag’har (and sometimes straight-backed green orcs) posting on the forums. Strong tendency to be brash and outspoken with uhh “controversial” opinions. Hunching orcs are not quite the opposite but much more chill.

Nah, not really. I’ve been party to these sorts of conversations. This guy sucks. This guy bugs me. My gf hates him cuz reason not related to the game. When it comes down to it, a lot of people online are not very tolerant of other people’s personalities.

If multiple communities have done this to you then it’s likely something on your side. You need to ask the people that removed you or figure out on your own what it is you are doing or not doing.

Perhaps you should take a look at your behavior? If you keep getting removed without people saying anything and the server is different every time you’re the only common denominator.

And dwarves tend to either have some of the worst takes on this planet or are just nice friendly people.

I got your point. I also agree with what you said, nobody owes anyone anything and its more of a person-to-person thing on how they treat others. But he also said :-

So he had been with them for a while. He considered them friends. But maybe they did or did not. And like you said, they don’t have to tell him if something’s wrong or if they don’t want him around anymore. I got that, what I was saying was that its sad that it is this way. When you don’t fit the bill, certain “friends” dump you without a word. Or trying to figure things out.

That’s true.

Similarly tauren are either wholesome and chill or have a chip on their shoulder.

Ghosting isn’t a mature thing to do. I’m sure I’ve done it in the past, but I’m certainly not proud that I’ve done so. To leave people intentionally wondering what they did wrong to get ghosted is a pretty cruel thing to do.

I’ll be honest: I don’t think I’ve EVER met a nice night elf male player. They always seem to at least be moody.

Must be the headache implied by their migraine-beam casting animation. I’d be grumpy too.

Thank you. I have to admit though, I’m pretty sure I’m not actually a Tauren irl. :laughing:

Depends on the circumstances.
People also need to be self aware and not just open their mouth all the time l

Absolutely. I don’t generally use it to discriminate (only playfully), but I do find it remarkable and fascinating. Moreso the validity of it than the specifics. Human Paladins being stubborn authoritarians makes perfect sense to me, because the way Blizzard designed humans, the guys all kinda look like cops. In addition, Paladins have cop abilities and are vaguely Christianesque in design without being overtly religious. I feel like every aspect of this appeals to the right, so the more surprising thing isn’t that human paladins are played by conservatives, but that the theory actually stands up to scrutiny.

This begs the question: what other race/class combinations inform us about the player behind the character? Or, rather, which race/class combinations are most likely to be informative about the player behind them? Can that information be analyzed, learned, and applied to social interactions to gain an advantage when meeting and dealing with new people?

Can it be used when choosing group compositions in order to reduce the likelihood of recruiting problematic players?

My preliminary observations are as follows:

People who choose male orcs like typical “guy” stuff. They drink beer and talk sports and admire trucks and listen to Avenged Sevenfold or whatever their friends are banging. They are generally apolitical and get annoyed when people bring politics or religion up. They don’t want their vibe wrecked, that’s all. They used to smoke, but now they vape.

People who choose male undead are sarcastic, kinda mean, a little selfish, fairly egotistical, but self-sufficient, capable, and smart. They like to shut their mouth and win. If you get in the way of their victory, they’ll slit your throat and bury you six feet deep before the city guard come back around.

People who choose female undead feel rejected by the world and identify with feeling dead inside. They’re not anymore, and that’s why they can play it in a video game, but man, they know what it’s like. These people love cats and they may also have pet spiders or snakes at home.

I think both male and female gnomes are chosen by people who feel small or weak, but who have an abundance of heart and huge passions inside of them that could blow up planets if unleashed. By playing gnome, they aren’t escaping their reality of being small, they’re owning it and simply materializing their mammoth will as in-game power and it feels good - cathartic even.

People who play dwarves, trolls, and Tauren are all the same people. They’re friendly, helpful, social, charming, harmless, generous, kind, and trustworthy. Not all of them, and not all the time - but these are the races that make me say, “This person will listen to me if I talk to them.” If you want to make friends, I’d start with these people.

People who play Night Elves are huge fantasy fans. Vulpera enjoy the idea of traveling if not actually traveling. Pandaren folks are hedonists and are some of my favorite people. They likely drink and smoke bud. I have encountered a weird pandaren subculture though who is oddly strict and ultra conservative, and I don’t know what to make of them.

People who play Warriors and Mages seem to be gaming traditionalists who like challenging content and classic RPG philosophies being brought to the forefront of modern design.

Whereas people who play Shaman are experimental sorts who like when games try different stuff and branch out.

It’s hard to stereotype DH because even though we are the edgiest class, the playstyle is fast, fun, and attractive, so any sort of personality is prone to play one.

I think Warlock is the stereotype I’d fit into. Intelligent loner, likes to solo everything, edgy af, dark sense of humor, “Who is Sarah Tonin?”, independently educated, rejects societal norms but assimilates new skillsets from trusted sources, etc.

Yeah. I think it’s just because of America’s politics. They became so unnecessarily divisive that families separated over it. It’s hard to play D&D together when half your players feel like the other half are trying to kill them or kill their way of life.

It didn’t use to be that way, but there’s no going back now.

We need to topple the system and start over. Only then can games be pure again.

Either that or exclude American players, but that would suck for us.

When it comes down to it, ghosting is just plain avarice and selfishness. Perhaps the poster is on the autism spectrum or something else. It takes very little effort to send a brief DM saying why it isn’t working out for them. Then…Sorry /kick.

Really depends man. If someone is being abusive and rude they don’t deserve an explanation they get removed.

If it’s happened to you several times, I can confidently theorize that it’s a you problem. Although, without details transcripts of what was said or transpired, it is still just a theory.

Look here hoss, I’m probably about as foul mouthed, crude, lewd, socially unacceptable and politically incorrect as a person can legally be, and I don’t get kicked out of communities very often.

Semper Fi! :us: :ukraine:

I have no idea what you are asking at all
