    Lightbulb How NOT to make friends on the forum

    I thought I'd share this. For those new to the forums, it might be useful

    So this is the mail I got some time ago (copy/pasted):
    ---
    subject: Ive seen you

    Message:
    oh, ive seen u be4... r u rich? i see sells from ikungfupanda all the time, cuz i need money reallllll bad. Plz add <Player name removed>
    ---

    Not the best way to make friends IMO


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    Yeah, I'd have to agree that trolling is much worse IMO

    I just thought is was funny to share. I'm used to begging in-game, I just didn't encounter it on the forum that much... yet

    Why would you do that to me?? I am SO broke!!!! lol

    And now for my useful contribution...

    Trolls have increased here lately. I understand everyone is bored and ready for releases and updates, but the forums are not the place to take out your anger/frustration. Make a new character, learn pvp, find a new hobby. Do whatever you can to redirect your frustrations so that you do not get labeled as a "cancer".

    Spot on!

    What's worse is that they don't even know how rude/useless they are being, to them it's just being "cool on the internet".

    Jay -- in order to safe guard all your gold you should probably give it to me for safe keeping. Then you can just tell the beggars you are broke. I promise to give at least some of your gold back eventually.

    I know I read somewhere that your name came from trolly lollys (or something like it.. You looked like one, at least that's what I remember you saying), so maybe you honestly don't know what trolling means..
    Trolling is basically posting obnoxious remarks that don't contribute anything to a thread. If the sole reason for post seems to be to provoke a flame-war, it's called 'trolling'. I'm sure there's a better explanation out there, but I think you get the picture

    Haha yeah, I was hoping there was just a weird coincidence with the similarity between my username and the term "trolling."
    I think i get it... trolling = useless, pointless, provoking remarks that neither help or contribute to a conversation ... ? yeah ?
    Haha, thanks for explanation!
