i dont know who started that teaching but it is simply not true.
we are are taught to respect authority and our elders when we were young.
it is the right thing to do.
show respect to your friends and those around you and be nice to others is what we are all taught when we were growing up.
if you refuse to do that, and you go by a code saying that "others" must "Earn" your respect?
then you will face a Mountain of problems in a whole lot more than just a video game.
this thread is well datailed and done with respect in wording and information and asking out of kindness for help on an issue that is long long asked for help on and he did a Great job in the way he respectfully wrote it.
Because no one is entitled to respect. Being polite to someone, and respecting them are two completely different things. Sometimes they go hand in hand, but other times one is there while the other isn't.
I don't have to respect anyone. No one HAS to respect me. Parents teach kids to blindly respect everyone, which is why we now have a world full of entitled kids who demand everyone bow to their wishes. The real world doesn't work that way. If you are respectable, you will earn other people's respect whether you asked for it or not. If you are entitled and demand it, no one will really give it to you.
Shhhh...this isn't about you. Back on topic.
It's not about anyone of us. We're all entitled to nothing.

The flaw in that logic is that an angry, paying customer that is right is... still right.
Having worked customer service for almost 15 years, the customer is not in fact always right. Especially when they actually have no idea what they are really paying for.

I think the OP was asking respect for the EU community, not for him/herself.
What has the EU community done to not deserve respect? Do we not pay the same as everyone else to play?
Considering that the EU community is smaller than the NA community, you literally don't pay the same collectively as NA does. But that really has nothing to do with earning respect. People assume that Respect is just defaulted to ON, and THEN you have to do something to lose it. It's the opposite, you have no respect until you actually earn it.
But a company that doesn't respect it's PAYING customers, will lose customers, so it should be 'defaulted to ON'. How does one 'earn' the respect of a multi-million dollar faceless company? Is a company allowed to deny you, say a refund for faulty goods, because you have not 'earned' its respect? So what do you do? Ask after its family, offer to carry its bags? You are confusing personal respect with the respect which a company is expected to show its customers. This is also de-railing and missing the entire point that the OP is trying to make.
So then show us that they will lose customers. You should lead the charge! Meanwhile, they have customers like me that will dump money into the game regardless of whether I've earned their respect or not, and cover the cost of you leaving.
That's cute, you think your money is going to ESO...
