I am always amazed that the most immature things are excused by "mature" language or "mature" settings... How oxymoronic...

Even so many people do it in PVP it doesnt mean that its not bannable.

You've displayed the complete opposite in this thread so far.
that's not the point, when did it become normal to be overly sensitive to everything. Like I understand that tbagging is annoying and I get annoyed when a zerg does it to you, but as the way op phrased it it feels a bit too far.

Personaly i support t-baggers, as its part of our gaming culture and nothing else.
Its like wispering the other player--- YOU JUST GOT OWNED
Oh and also, let me remind you this game is Mature 17+ so you should expect this type of things.
If you didnt get offended by some quests, stop complaning abauth this then.
BOOM!
Another assumption rendered not-quite-true. We elders, some of us anyway, were raised to be kind, polite and considerate. At 65, I've seen a bit of life, oh yes. I've also worked in CS/TS so my wrinkly old skin is pretty damn thick. My deal is, I don't see any point in being mean-spirited. So, you clobbered someone and they fell over. Hey! You won! Good on ya, so why the need to rub it in?
That is just it thought, 9 times out of 10 the recipient is placing WAY more stock into the action than the person doing it. Its dumb, its daft, its even petty sure, but its not personal. People say things such as what you were replying to from that individual because generally, the older one gets, the less give a *** they usually have.
Well, yeah, the one being made fun of usually finds that more objectionable than the one making fun.
Ahhh and I disagree that it's not personal. Have you not seen the /zone pissing contests? I mean talk about angst when someone gets ganked or bagged etc. Absolutely some folk take it personally.
There are some things that I no longer care about but I will always want to be considerate and polite. That is part of who I am and until I go totally doo-lally (and who knows what I'll be like then, hah!) my mind won't be changed that it's never a bad thing to be courteous. Or if I can't manage that (happens sometimes) I just keep my damn mouth shut.

If someone takes getting tea bagged in an online game personal than the problem lies with that person.
I'm genuinely curious. Like honestly I know it's petty AF and personally I don't really care but I know some people do care and to some people (sexual assault victims) it can be a bit of a PTSD trigger.

Such a stupid, stupid thing to get upset about. What really happened is someone lost and got upset, then they were teabagged and got even more upset. If you have a normal IQ level, this would not be thought of as sexual harrassment, because there is no actual contact between humans, there is nothing said, there is nothing seen. It's a disrespectful (and funny, even when I get it) act that doesn't involve sex of any kind. People that get up in arms about this will literally find problems anywhere.

I think it's completely childish and disgusting, really shows their maturity. You win ok that's great why throw in the disrespect? I don't know, ppl will always do it because you can't fix stupid.

It's a video game, how can something stupid like that bother you? You guys have serious mental issues.
Aye, I do. Due to being assaulted years ago. I guess I also have "mental issues" because I think respect and honour matter and feel that taunting the person you've already beaten is pretty lame. That probably makes me completely insane in this day and age.
I can live with that.

I agree with what you say... in real life, not in a stupid video game.

Guess I prefer consistency. I don't see a reason to change my behaviour because I'm online (be it a game or elsewhere). I know that many do though, especially in competitive gaming.
Ahhh, anonymity.

It has nothing to do with changing, I am the same person when I play.
They ask me for help and if I can give it, if I need help I ask for it in an educated way.
But I know it's a video game and I should not take it seriously.
As far as I'm concerned, all are NPC.

So you view other players as NPCs? Or did I misunderstand?
If so, that's rather interesting.

You just do not understand, you're very young or you have problems.
I have no interest in continuing with this stupid talk.
Let's agree to disagree, good bye, and good luck.
