Today, I played a lot and I got mad and sent a nasty message to someone...they probably didn't deserve it.

I wonder if its time to leave? I don't want to be toxic...but its starting to get to me.

I'll boil it all down to lots of things I read on here and agree with, but...idk...its starting to get to me...I don't believe in taking a big poop on ZOS everytime I get mad. Certainly not to attack others in a message.

What do y'all think? Time to go?

Knowledge, freedom, uncertainty and the brutal truths of reality (red pill)
Security, happiness, beauty, and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill)"

Insight to Agree to Awesome Ratio = 1:6.04:2.76 as of 1/25/2019

Compared to people that I've ignored = I am 18% more insightful, 20% less agreeable, and 88% more awesome.

    I think maybe a break from the game may be necessary. I used to play a ton of call of duty (which I regret) and after awhile it had occured to me I had become toxic, I would tell and blame the game for my deaths, so eventually I just took 2 weeks off, didn't touch the game once, and when I got back, I was back to enjoying the game once again. I would suggest you just take a minor break, and after a bit just get back on and see if you are feeling any better. Worked pretty well for me :smiley:

    Hmm... While a break may be warranted (we all need to take breaks), I think now may be a perfect time for you to learn to play alone. While it may be true that this is a MMO, and therefore group play and interaction with others is encouraged... It isn’t always the best course of action for everyone. Playing solo develops your skills as a player much better than playing as a group, in my opinion. And most importantly, you don’t have to deal with anyone’s nonsense. You don’t have to have any expectations you may have of others unmet. You are free to do things at your own pace, and just play the game your way. I highly recommend you try it, OP.

    I can relate General, between the performance issues and the current state of ad in vivec it's been frustrating at the least. You could try taking a break or just mix things up. Work on some new characters, get skill points, undaunted, some maelstrom runs, etc.

    As far as vivec goes turn chat off and do your own thing, hit some resources behind enemy lines. You can get some good fights that way with less chance of getting zerged, sniped, or lagged out. Or if you can find a drama free group go that way and try not to take it too serious.

    I'll be taking my break in 2 weeks when far cry comes out so until then ad gonna have to deal with me being miserable too!

    I’m going to be taking my prolonged break when Kingdom Hearts 3 is released. As is I don’t play that much, due to me playing a lot of other games. But once 3 is released, I’ll be giving that my full attention.

    Decision making not your strong point? Only YOU know if it's time for you to take a break. If you have to ask, then you're probably not ready to go......at least, not for good.

    The meta , especially PvP part of it, isn't very great right now.

    Personally I don't enjoy the nightblade or GTFO meta atm so not really playing too much.

    After all, if you're not having fun, what is the point of video games?

    Leave a hero or stay long enough to see yourself became the villain.

    What am i kidding, everyones done it, if they say they "have not" they are lying. To the point you get past it and dont care anymore, eso can be soul crushing in that way.

    Indeed! Agreed in particular of gaining an enormous experience of playing alone, Ultimately "Consumed" in your own world without having to experience any sort of abuse,drama or terrible spam. The most powerful man is one who stands alone.

    Tis nonsense on a daily basis and I speak to thee as a human being with countless ,boundless, near infinite amount of experience.

    The occasional is proposed. I'll speak always as I did before from my experience in Regards to MMO/group or "Social Interaction" within virtual words. From what I've seen ,"felt" and experienced in most occurrences is a waste of energy,

    The more you hesitate or worry,worst It shall become.

    Personal experience:

    The mindest of humanity and Absurdity.

    Guilds/Chat Drama in General: Additional Stress,Pointless, Meaningless often tales disconnected from the game,incredible distraction.

    Regarding Guilds/Toxicity/Attitude

    I'll tell you honestly. I am not sure why certain people get so worried and melodramatic over a video game and people you will never met in your life. You should tell them simply. Good luck, this isn't a guild for me. Safe travels and end of story. Or Thank you,Goodbye.

    ~ People waste so much time on social aspect or engaging in some drama with other players and they're missing playing the game. Don't let these things ruin your game-play. For instance: immensely toxic debates was on-going plus constant guild spam messages.

    An example: Let us log in game and play you fall for a bait and end with keyboard warriors instead of Dremora Cultists.

    Forums or in game. Matters not. The toxic potency is equal. To put it simply without dragging out the post to Oblivion. People have completely lost the control. Even if thread is positive and you haven't done anything inappropriate ,they'll try to ruin it. Even if you do nothing at all, you came become a potential target or you'll end with mindless dull-witted MudCrab answers such are TLR,lol, and so on or someone can twist it /bait or talk to subjects which are completely unrelated to the main topic subject.

    There are countless of threads of nothing more but complains,insults and Ungratefulness which is very sorrowful indeed in the end of the ballad and will only end with either ~ Thread lock or ban/Infraction.

    You are the absolute master and tis your own free will ultimately. You aren't required to behave as one of Nine Divines nor give away free items, help anyone in your travels, but you shouldn't insult or bash others as a Drunken Nord :)

    Find a Golden Neutral balance which could prove to be surprisingly tough for majority of player-base.

    The most common "duels" on the forums(MMO) ~ No new content,PVP is bad,Lag,Balance. I grow weary of reading it.

    The constant online fights or logging into game with sole reason to cause drama, troll or debate about ultra sensitive themes of Religon or Politics aren't the sign of intelligent people. Why would you spent yours or someone'ls hard earned coin to spit out gibberish or argue ,attempt to accomplish the impossible while abandoning the reason and main purpose which is playing the content?

    Being Anonymous within Internet brings out worst of people. An example , "Player asked what is LFR ? I had to check what that is. I am always a Noob". They whispered back Go K**l yourself....... Well, its just the fact people love to show their negative side. Express the frustration and enter lazy mode , provoke,bait,bash others. Proves how pathetic they truly are and even worse, their true Dark side and pure insanity.

    Surely written word with fake name and pixel world is not the same if you are surrounded by group of people in real life. You might and you will get in very serious trouble, but sadly here language,threats and vile attitude is common occurrence.

    Anyone in my book who is saying such words is at least pathetic human being, That's softest I can say. And these bullies , you'd be surprised how many of them aren't that young as you think.

    I am 28 and I've been bullied before when I was younger by people far older than me. They were in late 30's. It was a FB group, but details aren't important ,its irrelevant, just an example. Its not always some teen kid in mom's basement.

    I am not surprised about trolling or replying with dumb comments such are its lfr only or lol.

    Considering the gigantic content ESO has to offer there is something for everyone and what I find really "insane and short-sighted", shall I dare to say, from all the beautiful lore and one majestic world people. (It's overwhelming) I'll tell you straightforwardly and instantly any of my opinions without hesitation. I am a very picky player and I "always see though the fog". This might be odd to particular people,but I play with extreme passion and love. I always find a light within the darkness. When people complain I often praise the game. The players indeed complain about ONE point and they'll quit for it. PVP is terrible ~ Game is terrible, One of the examples.

    When I log in game I don't want to be under pressure and feel a constant need to reply to someone or listen to seemingly eternal drama nor I feel a need to randomly insult a poor human being, because the smart and stable human beings never do it.

    That particular player could be very ill {Physically} underage individual , even worse with mental problems which is very sad, the fact is you Do not know , you cannot but guess. The words have immense weight and players have become soulless , remorseless ,cruel and cruellest of Dremora.

    I was mad and unsatisfied and felt terrible , but I haven't nor I am allowed to spread it out to entire company, I've sad already in my previous posts what I do personally believe about ESO, the limits were crossed countless of time.

    For Instance ~ The people hating so much others for losing in online pixel world, it escalates so much ,its insane. Sometimes I wonder if these people are for mental asylum than games,

    Extra: People escape to virtual world to leave their problems or issues "behind" and they can be annoyed even to slightest of jokes, but the joke of a point of view. They might not take the joke in same fashion you or I will.

    ~ Maybe he was sick of players asking him the same question all over again or bothering him and he "snapped" though he went too far a bit.

    ~ People get fed from childish mom jokes and rest of BS.

    ~ Usually these kind of players aren't such an issue , but others annoying them and then it escalates sky high.

    This isn't funny at all. Words can have a great impact on some players.

    ~ You don't know if they have some psychological issues.
    ~ Maybe he/she lost a parent

    Learn how to deal with such issues. I suggest swift ignore and block/report if its too harsh and move on.

    There are all kind of people, salty,happy,reasonable,insane. Such is the online world, even here.

    Enjoy the game :)

    Thanks kindly for reading my longer than usual post. By Ysmir, I've stated by personal opinion and very sad bitter truth.

    To Original Poster ~ Sometimes in your life and even online virtual world to ease it and save yourself of stress,time and energy or in your case the Inevitable Negative energy unleashed to "Innocent" player. Just do it. "Hit leave" and be done with i until Flame dies out, I mean when you cool down. It has nothing to do with being "Weak" People who insult,provoke, bait and unleash their negativity towards others areweak. Resistance and defiance are the Attributes of the strong. You have admitted the mistake in public which is a plus. Nobody deserves to be a victim of someone's else personal frustrations and uncontrolled rage.

    I was once in your situation, Oh but I don't want to leave, what will happen if I do, will they have something against me,I don't want to. What shall others people think about me, I am going to create a thread about it and less see.. Well? Nothing. 99,89% of players will not, other 0,0023% will think about it or send few vile messages and so n and that's it. The end. End of story.

    Kind Regards,

    Vanya
