The 10 Commandments of MMOs by ~RaymoreClef:iconRaymoreClef:



1. Thou shalt not Beggeth for Coinage.
The act of running around in a main city and repeatedly asking people for money has never yielded anyone a substantial amount of  money. Doing so is a waste of time for not only you, but the people you are begging to. Consider this, how does society as a whole view beggars and hobos,  do you want to be one?

2. Thou shalt not Tea-Bag thy neighbor.
In our world it is customary to repeatedly attack another faction or enemy possibly it being another player. This is battle, and we know at times you are the smiter lest ye be smited. However to befoul a body in the act of war by any means is frowned on by all. As an addendum, decimating people who are severally under your level is a waste of time - and yields no possible positive outcome.  

3. Thou shalt not Ninja party treasure.
Everyone has killed the epic foe, everyone has put blood sweat and tears into the downing of yet another warlord, everyone has sacrificed time and effort in destroying the monster. Do not become and enemy yourself by stealing the loot and disbanding. This is a most dishonorable trade and most will make more enemies and soil your game.

4. Thine mob is my mob.
Feel free to help me with my quests and my fight. However, if I do not ask for this service do not demand of me some of the benefits. There are somethings that are just being nice. If I start attacking something and you feel the need to attack it, and as a result it attacks you and not me. It is not my fault if you die, or if you kill it yet obtain no loot.

5. We careth not your grind time, nor your rewards.
We all understand that you have worked as long as we have. We all understand you may have fought long and hard for particular pieces of your armor and may have even downed enough enemies in the field of player to player battle. But your ability to spend long hours doing the same thing over and over as opposed to me or anyone who may have things like a job or a family. So please do not gloat over your rare wear like it is some higher rank. Let your actions speak louder then your bragging.

6. Items be not promised, only suggested.
Your quest may have you slay many a dragon for their hind legs. However due the the fact your were in battle with this beast, you may have inadvertently damaged the legs, and they are not pristine anymore. This happens more often then not the more powerful you are. There is no way around this. So, feel free to kill all you will like, but do not yell out of rage becasue it does not happen in the first few goes.

7. Be not a Auction hooker.
Everyone uses the same auction you do, and we all need the same money you do. Please, do not buy my items to jack up the price of yours. It is not fair to me. Not to mention it is bad business to jack up the prices of the market. Consider the fact that by doing so, eventually many people may jump in and drop either prices below yours. And you are eating the higher cost. Seems foolish now doesn't it? Also, putting a decent piece of armor in the "near unobtainable at this level" money range means normal people will not be able to buy it.

8. Camping is a leisure activity, not a sport.
Sitting the the woods, settling in, and watching the nature around you is camping. This is meant to be relaxing and a time of reflection. However adding you leaping out of the bushes to attack a graveyard is a rather silly and annoying practice. In the long run it puts a target on your back and you will then be camped on yourself.

9. Maketh a visage of yourself, but maketh it goodth.
If you so choose to show your accomplishments on a video somewhere, please make it good. Many good videos are destroyed becasue the thing they are trying to show is blurry, or have no production at all such as being able to see what you are showing like text or items. More often or not its the speaker. Take a minute, write down what your going to say, clear your throat, drink some water then speak. Or get someone who can speak clearly. Have right information and make it relevant. Give us some info we may need, like patch information, buff notes, etc. We want to see it, but if you are no make it horrible people will call you on it.

10. Thy Guild is not a Supportith group.
Feel free to make humorous rants about your own life and crack jokes at your downfalls. However, your guild will more often then not ignore or laugh at you. They do this becasue your are playing a game. Not a interactive AA meeting. We understand things happen, and will listen to you, but harping about how much your life is miserable does not serve much of a purpose the the guild at large and doing so is a fair waste of time on your and their part if you are sitting their whining about stubbing your big toe.

Yeah, so. I pretty much died when I read this. Not in a moldy way (unless you count the chair), but there was definitely some muscle spasms.
