Some people are ridiculous

The other day I was mining at Neva Neva. And I was leaving in 10 minutes and dindt have time to wait for everyone to get to a rock an start mining. So I was mining alone, people get so ANGRY if you don't want to wait for everyone. Anyone agree with me here?

  • Sometimes people get too into getting 3 more rocks so they have a tantrum.

  • yeah, i've just stopped mining in the locked rooms.  too structured for my tastes, more fun to wander the rest of the caves.

  • No we were all angry with you not just because of that it's because we had a nice group of 5 people going on the you came started talking outa your arse , being rude and we all waited for you you could of waited for us
    You would of been better in ab
    Neva has a close group of people that stick together, mine together to get better rewards

  • santa-my-anta:

    If someone is "talking outa [their] arse", all you have to do is block them.  You won't see what they say in chat any more.

    A "close group of people that stick together, mine together" have no more right to tell someone else how to use resources than any random collection of Glitches.  Neva is open to anyone who plays, and is open for them to use any way they want.  They are not required to join your group, play the way you play, or otherwise agree to any 'rules' or 'expectations' that your group might have.

    If you get angry and harass other players who aren't playing the way you want them to, you will be the ones who are punished, not them.

  • @ima_do_three: Agreed. I don't mine nevaneva, but when I mine, I plan on simply mining. if someone joins, fine, if not fine. But please don't expect me to follow some concocted code of conduct that usually favors those with far higher mining skill than I have. way too gAmEr for me

  • We wernt harassing him we left him alone we kept our thoughts to ourselves
    Yes the resources are fred for all but isn't it fair if you wait for the others to come because when they get there the rock might of been mined already and that's not fair
    Yes rocks respawn but hogging rocks is unfair and the whole point is to have a fair game, isn't it?

  • It isn't fair or unfair.  It's just how it is.

    You may not think it's fair.  Others may not think it's fair to make up rules about what they can do.  
    You're not going to get any sympathy by claiming that "it isn't fair".  The other person can also say that what you were doing "isn't fair".  The reality is that both things are fair.

  • My personal philosophy is that if I don't want to mine cooperatively with others, I won't go to the locked rooms. There are plenty of rocks elsewhere. If I do choose to go to the locked rooms, I don't act shocked and disturbed when people ask me to be cooperative.

  • eff, that's fair move. I agree
    Posted 13 months ago by Woochi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't really want sympathy I just want to put a point across if you compare neva and ab

    Neva whe I first went had a note on floor explain g rules and so did ab and naturally you don't think much of them and there was alot of party's in Neva as it was more of a party room but I quickly realised that in Neva co-operation was needed and everyone just got along and was fine you got the occasion difference clashings of personalitys but while when I was ab there was alot if people who wanted it all for them selves and didn't want to co-op so I don't tell people to so stuff . It's just nice to ask and you can say no but when we were all coming over 2 people were waiting for us and bye the time we cam half the rock was gone all to you

  • If you don't want sympathy, then what's the point in even bringing it up? To call somebody out? Pretty sure that's already been addressed. The verdict, as far as I recall, was: don't do it.
    Posted 13 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well maybe if you weren't always trying to mine 3 rocks at once, no one would get upset. Maybe justa_do_one at a time?
    Posted 13 months ago by Bashere Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well no you can't say someone wants sympathy when you don't no what they want, I'd love things but sympathies not one of them and as I recall there was no verdict , I don't care if he doesn't take the advice on board all we wanted him to do in the first place was listen and hear us out which he never did

  • You know, the devs should add another section of the forums that's exclusively for "Mining Butthurt". Maybe "Housing Butthurt" can be included, too. Because there's so many of these damn threads that they've taken over General. And that's why I don't even bother with the forums anymore.

    Okay, OP. Somebody rained on your Mining Parade. Well, I can guarantee that it's happened to each and every one of us. It sucks, but guess what? Sparkly's the most competitive market in the game. That, and people are asses. So, unless somebody did something to warrant actually filing a formal report, suck it up and move on. It sucks, but what sucks worse is having to read complaint after complaint after complaint about people not getting their way.

    Christ. We're adults here. These drama threads either need to stop or just go somewhere else.

  • I LOVE the idea of a "butthurt" section of the forums.

  • @Sloppy Ketchup Me, too. Solely for the reason of avoiding it entirely.
    Posted 13 months ago by girlthulhu Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I guess, I can sorta sympathize with the OP- I don't go into NN or AB anymore bcz I just don't feel like having a bunch of robots who rarely seem to leave tell me what to do. And by the same token, offering advice is one thing; taking your petty shit to the forums to jump down somebody's throat (and I should point out, the OP didn't make it personal or name names, either) is childish.
    I dunno that I woulda made a whole thread on this, though- people are, by definition, ridiculous, for sure, and never moreso than in the mines. And, unfortunately, these rooms have pretty well been taken over, and there is more or less (depending on the population at the time) tolerance for a person mining their own way.

    Oh, and yeah, the staff has said before that calling people out in the forums is verboten (that would be the "verdict" I referenced). Even if it wasn't, doing it kinda makes you look like a dick.
    Posted 13 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That's kind of my point, though. AB and NN are like the 4chan of Glitch. If they want to be jerks, fine. Just lock them up in the bowels of some cave and hope they stay there until they learn some damn manners. And it's just like, hey! Why not go one step further give those f__ktoots their own turd board so I don't have to wade through mining drama all the time?

    Seriously, mining drama. Why can the rest of this freaking game function just fine, and it's ALL ABOARD THE FAIL TRAIN every damn day with AB and NN? And it's apparently SO BAD that EVERYBODY HAS TO HEAR ABOUT IT. EVERY DAY. ALL THE TIME. FOREVER AND EVER. UNTIL THE HISTORY CHANNEL DOES A SPECIAL ABOUT IT. STARRING THAT GUY WITH THE TERRIBLE HAIRCUT.

  • Is such a thing even possible?
    Yes it is!

  • I am not saying names I'm just saying it does happen often for me.
    Posted 13 months ago by Ima_do_three Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow... just Wow. Since when does anyone in this game have any right do what was done here? Anyone has a perfect right to mine ANY rock they so choose and does not have to join the controlling "group" of one area. Get real. To be honest I wish TS would have the Giants decide to have a massive earthquake and collapse those mines down and close them off, forcing people to mine the way most of us do. I am sick and tired of seeing them control the keys (to this day I have been unable to get a key to just go in for the discovery for the area) to those mines and sick and tired of them making the "rules" to mine there. Sick and tired of coming to these forums and see another incident of groups that control AB and NN. Please Tiny Speck maybe it is time to just close those instanced mines. I mean really.

  • You know, you've just given me a great idea. Instead of getting mad at the Mining Butthurt threads, I'm just going to post this from now on. Just, that's it and move on. 

    Because I'll see their wtf and raise it. Dear God, I'll RAISE IT.
    Posted 13 months ago by girlthulhu Subscriber! | Permalink
  • LMAO 0:30 makes it.
    Posted 13 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If there was an earthquake that collapsed those mines down, it would afflict the rest of the game with those people. 

    No, there needs to always be a place for those folks to congregate and do the mining equivalent of synchronized swimming and glory at how 'social' the game is.

  • Some people Just want to really mine together but for me it isn't worth it waiting 30 seconds per stone when I dont have all day.

  • 1. Miners get on with it and stop bitchin @ one another, it's borrrring
    2. Whingers stop whinging.....
    a. x donated y but gave it to z instead then threatened to report me.... oh boohoo! Are we back in school?
    b. I don't like how the game works x doesn't follow y in the way I expect - that sucks!
    c. why can't I have my cake and eat it and get Xp for it too?
    d. etc etc

    I'm so bored of threads bitchin about other players! And mining! And tree wars! And I want my house to be .... I DON'T care how you want yr house, put it in ideas and maybe sb in TS will give a rat's arse. I don't. Shut up and play the game the way it is. You don't like people taking yr expensive machine parts don't lay em out in a public place then compound yr stupidity by dying whilst using them. Oh no I went to hell and whilst I was away sb stole the expensive things I left lying around on the floor in GFJ. OMFG!!!! And stop feeding the whingers by sending them stuff after they cry in the forums about it, I'm pretty sure 50% of them just do it for the attention and the expected gifts...

    Basically it's an adult game so be freakin adults for a minute!
    It's a great game and there are lots of cool and nice people - play the game as it is with the people that are here - stop trying to play the game you want it to be with the people you wish were here!

  • Never happened to me as I don't mine in Neva Neva or Ajaya Bliss, but yeah, about as much ridiculous as my neighbour who happens to be the original poster of this very thread, and who used to keep knocking on my door claiming he owns my house. Some people...
    Posted 13 months ago by Lazy Cubimal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Djabriil hells yes.
    Posted 13 months ago by Rev. Desdemona Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or as ridiculous as him coming to my house even though I barely know him.  And telling him I was busy, he watched me leave my block, then starts knocking on my door over and over and over... Until I had to block him to make it stop.

  • @Lazy Cubimal & @Iconoclast Oh my God. You guys just added like ten more boxcars to this Fail Train.

    Okay. Guys. I think we all did a good job getting our rage out. The issue here is that we're sick and tired of the Drama Buttholes merging into an amorphous blob and taking over our forums. Remember when the forums used to be awesome? Yeah. Personally, the Drama Blob has driven me away, and I'm probably not the only one. I know I've seen a lot of grumbling on my status stream.

    Obviously, being adults and ignoring them isn't working -- the Drama Blob just gets bigger somehow. So, this is what we'll do: We'll derail their threads. Just pick some stupid thing and post it whenever you see a Mining Butthurt thread. Or a Housing Butthurt thread. Or whatever silly turdcrap where one person is trying to bring shame and dishonour on the house of another. Post whatever nonsense thing you've selected, and move on. 

    We'll do it. One thread at a time. We'll make this place fun and silly and random again. IN THE NAME OF TII!

    (Edited to add: I'm not calling out the two users above; simply showing my amusement that they're adding to the trainwreck that is This Tread. Err -- Did that come out wrong, too? Both their posts made me laugh. Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4LyaNgzy6U = this thread because wtf?)

  • Calling people out in the Forums is against the Community Guidelines.  

    Probably would be a good idea to remove those personal references.

  • @little peep What's the Currant Orphanage? I just accepted your friend request, and it's not listed in your groups. So, what the hell. I feel confused and a little cheated. I don't like that. It's a little like tapioca pudding.

  • Casombra, as for getting a key to go inside, you can usually just wait near the door or ask on global. Whenever I ask or wait, I've always gotten inside. :) To be fair though, I haven't done it all that often, since I do wait for a key. If you want, I can bring you in next time?

    "Vigilante action against players who are, in your opinion, playing “incorrectly” can be griefing too and it is not allowed. If you see abuse in the game, you should report it. But calling out another player in the forums or public channels and organizing people to bully them is itself a kind of harassment and will be moderated as such."

    I don't see how my post infringes the guidelines, since I'm doing nothing of these. Only making a comparison mentioning a similar situation. I don't encourage anyone to act against the person I'm not allowed to mention.

    If however it does infringes the Community Guidelines, it infringes them as much as the thread itself which includes every miner of Neva Neva.

    The problem is that there's a gap between someone playing according to the ToS and someone violating the ToS. Some players do perfectly know how to fill that gap where no action from the staff can be done since it's not against the ToS.
    Posted 13 months ago by Lazy Cubimal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Lazy Cubimal

    In the past, staff have edited posts to remove the name of a specific player.  You don't need to go so far as organizing other people.  Simply calling out another player by name has been sufficient  to get staff involved.

  • Seeing you guys being super cruel to the OP for posting a thread about their feeling is just as disgusting as how people act in AB & NN. 

    Take a step back Glitches, you're all acting like asses.

  • That would be so good of you Ellisande! I have been doing exploring missions to get the achievements...Neva Neva and AB have been elusive to me completing those areas due to not having a key or just stand around hoping I get it before someone takes it faster than me on spawn (yes that has happened sadly) It is not like I want to go in there and mine like synchronizing swimming... I just want to get the achievements and be done with those places lol!

  • It is considered rude and illogical by more experienced miners to go and try to mine the rock before everyone else has a chance to reach it, but it doesn't mean they should verbally abuse you for doing so.

    Anything more than a few reminders that what you are doing isn't benificial to yourself or others is overkill. People really do need to realize that it's a game and other's can play as they see fit.

    The reason people wait in the mine is that everyone will get more rock this way, including yourself even if you are the first one at the rock.

  • Wow alot of people posted

    I'll try and act like an adult now as someone pointed out I think and take on the critiziams but I'll still have my points that think are right but I won't argue it any more
    Posted 13 months ago by Santa Clause Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Casombra: If you still require Bliss and Neva for your completeist achievements, please let me know and I will gladly escort you.

    On a completely different topic: I respectfully request that negative (implied, or otherwise) comments regarding the visitors of Ajaya Bliss and her sparkly halls as well as sister Neva Neva cease. It's ridiculous to cast blame on an entire lot of people due to the carelessness of individuals. If anything, such narrow minded thinking is the dagger that harms the community and good will that Glitch should inspire in all of us.

    Thank you.
