But damned if something doesn't get to me.
I know it may seem small, but someone really irked me last night on Champions Online. I left a Super Group(Clan) because no one was ever on. I would have liked to join one that a friend was on that I played with a lot. I managed to join them on a really high mission that was terribly hard and full of thing graphically. Well, the graffix card's fan decided to crap out, leaving it to slowly melt if I didn't leave. So I left, reluctantly, and waited till a new one was a acquired. I came back to the game and ask if I could join and the leader said "no". He said I "didn't have what it takes." He then commented that I left in the middle of a mission without warning and that I didn't impress him at all.
What was I supposed to do, kill the dungeon boss by myself, stay in and melt the graffix card. I just irked me so much that I lost all interest in playing that night. I don't know if I''ll be into as much any more. But what got to me was how it seemed he was putting down my skills as a gamer, that's what really bothered me.
I know this is a really long rant, but, gosh, I've never felt that insulted by another player. It may not be a big deal to some but my gamer skill is something I take pride in.
That's it, rant's over. I'm going to go break some chairs or something.
