In the last week four of my regular gaming buddies have left the game. One of them because his speeder was being destroyed daily by overt players camping out waiting for tefs (and also the fact that these same overt players were sniping/griefing from great distances with cross fire zones so that noone could be left out). Another of my friends has left because she was told matter of factly that she would be raped by some morons and other things i can not repeat here. After she had stopped crying three of us put in harrassment reports on this. The next again night those same idiots were at it again (although not as graphically and twisted as how they treated my female friend). She quit that instant and her boyfriend in rl (my other regular buddy) also quit. My fourth friend quit because he sees no hope at all for this game when the community is made up of such people.
Being an optimist, i believe that the majority in this game are of sound mind and are not bellends. However, what can i do to get these players out of the game? I have their names and their guilds (i found out who their guild masters were, put my complaint to them and was promptly ignored).
I know of twelve other players (outside of my group) who have quit within my town alone in the last week.
I enjoy this game 95% of the time - but that other 5% (immature idiots within the game itself) is going to see me off.
