WoW Life Lesson #14: There Will Always Be Haters
Yes, yes there will. What can I say? There will always be someone out there who doesn't like something for some reason that you may not be able to fathom. And some of those people will hate on you and everyone around you until you log or your guild master /gboots them. These haters could be 'on your side' or on the 'other team' but either way, they just try and make your RL or WoW life a living nightmare. Weather it's at work or home in RL giving you grief or saying ill-informed and impetuous things, or in WoW in battlegrounds yelling at you for no reason or in STV just 'cuz, haters have a way of just being jerks. So what do we do with haters? Well I suppose that there are several things that we could do. You could challenge them to a duel, but that rarely ends well even if you win, and in RL if you win you'd probably go to jail. Usually if you do win in WoW, they just spam you with hate chat or call you a noob or worse in /g chat or /y in Shatt. You can report them to a GM, but really what can a GM do if the person hasn't violated the TOS agreement? If they have been rude or hateful but not rude or hateful enough to warrant GM action, you're stuck sitting there, /shrugging and wondering what to do to get your satisfaction. Or, you can do what I prefer to do and just /ignore them. Yep just ignore them. Sooner or later a hater will do something so stupid that they'll get banned, or more fitting, get ganked in STV and camped for hours on end while their attackers just /laugh and /spit on them. Not that you should ever wish this on someone, but when you hear it happened to them, it kinda make you feel like things are right in the universe. I've had my share of haters, for whatever reason, and I am sure you have too, in RL and in the game. While in RL it's not as simple as typing /ignore, it is possible to just not be around those toxic people. So... what's the worst hater story you've heard about people playing in game?
