Unfortunately not enough evidence to my opinion (JUST AN OPINION OF AN OBSERVER). But that sentence I so-to-speak highlighted? Responsability for your wrong doing during this matter, and seemingly genuine honesty? A lot of respect towards that if it truly was honest and for sure.. hat's off at this point for your honesty. If not yet, this person will get caught if any more wrong doings. Don't have to believe in karma to know that the "truth always reveals itself".
I defamed him because he was being a stuck up a-hole. That's what the defame system is for, then he came and defamed me with his main and his mule as a petty response.
Thanks for the words. Truthfully there's no more evidence, I just jumped in the map, helped him, he got mad, I defamed, called him a dick, then he got petty and defamed me twice and refused to continue to do PQ.
Is defaming someone because they're acting like a dick and calling them out for it blacklist worthy (?) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He arguably could say the exact same thing about you. From the screenshots provided, he obviously wasn't the friendliest player but you clearly escalated the situation by defaming him first and telling him to eat a dick. If anything his biggest fault wasn't defaming you, it was potentially griefing the rest of the party by threatening to intentionality allow the drop to disappear. But you also proceeded to insult him further by insinuating his behavior as typical of his guild. I don't know, is everyone in Storm the type of player who can't handle interpersonal conflict and relies on the community blacklist as a crutch? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OOOF, gottem! Sometimes when you wanna have the last word you end up in a shitfest. Be like me, expert at walking away and pretending to be AFK. Nobody's worth it
He's more than welcome to call me out and make his post. ... is that not the point of the black list? I don't understand how this is personal conflict and not literally jeopardizing a party quest for childish behaviour?
I'm confused by the feedback from this thread. If someone deliberately ruins a PQ for multiple people with malice and aforethought, you would condemn another for defaming them and telling them to eat a dick? Those two things are the precise response you're supposed to make in that situation, I think. That said, it is unclear from evidence that this Ho11ow individual deliberately ruined the PQ though the signs are there. I'm not so much commenting on the original blacklist request as the responses to it, which seem wildly detached from reality...
Personally I think they're both in the wrong but do note: Pike told them to eat a dick and defamed first, and after that hollow threatened to throw. So the eat a dick wasn't in response to threatening to throw the pq. You can also see the message that they passed the pq.
When you PQ, you will meet alot of different people some much more annoying than others. Having met many guys like this ho11ow type best way is always just expel and replace. My point is, if you start a fire from a defame or telling them bad stuff many people will get insulted. Not sure what the reason here is. It doesn't excuse his actions but you're basically lowering yourself to his level and could probably sorted it out in the party by having leader expel one of you.
Thanks for clarifying this, I've also edited my original post. Oops just exposed myself for never participating in anniversary events~
Imo this pike guy is the bigger problem He instigated the entire thing and got griefed as a response. Congratulations, you got what you tried to get. Its bizzare to me how people go out of their way to piss people off and then get all huffy and surprised when that person gets pissed.
I think at this point would be important to have more evidence if there were, but that's not the case. All I'm thinking now is what I think of often nowadays: "The truth always reveals itself."
Just not as serious in this case, but kinda similar situation. Remember the other answers makes shanks mad!
How did I instigate the whole thing lmao, I was just trying to help the fella complete the stage as instructed by the leader of the party and guy responds with petty behavior then refuses to complete the PQ, it was then AFTER that that I started getting huffy about it
My guess is most people believe that you didn't act appropriately either (though instigate is perhaps too strong a word to be suitable here). Also if your party leader specifically instructed you to help top right, that information was not included in your ss and if you have evidence of that, you might sway some opinions. Additionally the 'huffiness' seemed to begin not after the PQ but immediately (as far as I can tell). Spoiler: relevant chat from ss I think that most people would agree that the 'correct' response that you should have taken is, 'Go to midleft because HariesLover asks for help in party chat' instead of 'Escalate the situation by defaming Ho11ow'. Yes, he was definitely rude, but the moment you defamed and returned the insult, you became equally as rude (if not more), so neither party here has the moral high ground. It doesn't matter that he also escalated later on by multi-defaming you imo. I also suggest that you might want to examine your real unspoken reasons for bringing this issue to the blacklist and whether it is in the spirit of the thread or not. That said, it's fine to get angry occasionally, I've said things I regret too and I try to make up for it after. Hope that you and Ho11ow have had the chance to speak outside of this issue and come to a resolution.
