Why so serious? - Bit of a social experiment

You dont understand why we have passion to the best in this game, and we dont understand why you would enjoy casual play and roleplay.
Works both ways

I throw mudballs at roleplayers, does that count?

Funny you mention about mudballs. The other day I went inside an Inn to look for the lorebook. I went upstair and I saw 2 roleplayers having sex in the room my lorebook was in. I was like what the actual f*** is this s***, and then I "/say Malacath be praised! I ummm, sorry, I just ummm want to take my ... book, it's overthere, sorry, ummm". Then the guy stood up and thew mudballs at me. Too bad he refused my duel request, what an unhonorable Nord, maybe my big fugly Orc looked too awesome in my Black Rose (full Daggerfall Covenant style dyed in blue and black), Seventh Legion S&B, and Tremorscale.

In my guild, runs where we are going for a score are 'serious' because people need to focus, but when people just want leaderboard weeklies on their alts, there's a ton of screwing around. Yknow if we end up wiping on twins or something I'll do my very best to blow as many people up as possible before skinrai slaps me or whatever.

No, it wasn't picked up on, sorry if it was intended to be funny.

I get a bit prickly about that, as there are so many awful threads of that type by people with an over inflated sense of self importance who seem to think their way is the only way that everyone should be playing the game.

Having skill doesn't stop you from being a decent human being.
Or rather, it shouldn't.

Most of them are just sick of being grouped up with incompetent, often equally self important players. Myself included.
You'd be surprised how much ego some of these people that don't know/don't care what they're doing have. I know I was.

I am not the very skilled player or anything, but let's say I am a decent CP300-ish player who have tanked or healed through every vet Dungeons HM since CP200 (haven't done CoS and Mazzatun though because I don't have that DLC) that my guildies always trust me that I will fulfill my role, and yes, I call people "Sera" if I play with my magdk (currently lvling her so I can do DPS). People always think that there's only one way to enjoy the game, either being tryhards or enjoy the fun casual side of the game, you can do both, Sera.

I'm always serious in this game, some times a little to serious I think.

The other day I woke up and my boyfriend says to me "We need to talk".

Me: What is wrong?
Him: I am worried about you playing ESO.
Me: Omg, you want me to stop playing?
Him: No, I didn't say that, I am just worried about you
Me: Why?
Him: I'm worried that someone is going to walk past the apartment, and hear you say "Help! Help!" or "Kill them! Kill them!" They might call the police thinking we are doing something bad.

I couldn't stop laughing, I guess I do get kind of crazy when I play PvP.
