Unpopular opinion... whatever happened to manners?

Would you also expect a "please" with WTB, WTS, LFG, etc? Serious question, because for me that's what those "LF bite" boil down to. You are requesting a widely available thing in an mmo chat. I suppose some could even argue that typing too much would be impolite, since it fills the chat with unnecessary words.

Saying "thank you" is a different matter in this case, because at that point it usually becomes a personal conversation through whispers, and it's just a decent thing to say.

It's just an mmo thing, no more no less. People learn to be brief and get to the point, because the tiny chat box isn't a place to write essays. It's nothing against you or anyone else, nor is it impolite.

Greetings all,

After review, we have decided to close this thread due to Flaming, as well as Trolling/Baiting. Flaming, as well as Trolling/Baiting, are violations of the Community Rules, and are stated as follows:

• Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.

• Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

If there may be any questions in regards to the rules, please take a few moments to review them here.

Thank you for your understanding,
-Greg-
