Reddit rolling on CD

Oh jesus christ, I should have stayed in bed :lol: ...

If you don't feel like you can stay on a server with Reddit (it is only two of the Reddit guilds, not the entire community) then roll on another server. You have free-will and you can still join the guild and take part in the discussion. The only problem will be that you won't have access to the guild buffs or be able to take part in WvW with us.

Guild Wars 2 is very much a social game but that doesn't mean you have to directly interact with every single person who is on your server. I wanted to go with the LGBT guilds to try and increase how open we could all be while playing the game and there is no reason why Reddit should hinder that.

If you have local chat on and if a member of Reddit (or anybody) acts in a homophobic manner then screenshot it, ignore them and either report it to ArenaNet or send it to me and I'll report it to ArenaNet.

Reddit maybe big but being a member of Reddit won't offer them protection. The entire Reddit community isn't going to quit Guild Wars 2 just because a few of their members got hit with the banhammer for being douches. Chances are they'll be known as douches in the Reddit community. All communities have members who fall into the douche-i-ness category (except this one, love you guys! :whistle: ).

As long as we stick together we'll be fine.

Yeah well have to create a rank for server roamers.

Glad to see ArenaNet has this as their first rule for Guild Wars 2:

"While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated."

My own take on this is that there are going to be ignoramuses no matter what server someone rolls on. I may be a bit too simplistic but, personally, if someone was giving me a hard time or being disrespectful, I'd just report them and move on with my own enjoyment of the game.

Unfortunately, I've been around the MMORPG block enough to know that there will be loudmouth idiots, trolls, and sexist / homophobic jackasses no matter on what server you decide to roll, and they'd be on Crystal Desert with or without the Reddit crew. My experience is that it's just part and parcel of the genre these days.

That said, I think it's great that even if the server gets population capped quickly (which is actually more my main concern right now than anything else), everyone in can still be active in the social aspects of the guild no matter what server people ultimately end up on. Sure, it would be fantastic if we all were able to end up on Crystal Desert together, obviously, but c'est la vie if it's not to be.

Let's not let it detract from all of us having fun in the game, though!!

I also like the fact that this game gives you no other choice than to be INCLUSIVE. there's no kill stealing, no gathering node stealing, no loot stealing. so these catalysts that tend to set people off, are GONE!!!, there's still the idiots in world and general chat though. but, you can always block them. i plan to use that feature a LOT.

Thank you Cubby....man I want to give you a hug right now. I read everything and this one post (for me) floats to the surface as.......brilliant!

That easy folks....turn them off....turn up the fun!

Jeeezzz!

I'm not concerned about anyone's conduct but my own. I'd rather give them all the benefit of the doubt, work together as comrades in arms against our common enemies, ignore any preconceived notions we might have about them, and avoid substantiating any preconceived notions they might have about us. I'ma ignore the hate, dodge the troll bait, and focus on having fun with my awesome guildies!

There are going to be creeps on any server, so I'd rather pick one that has enough LGBTQIA so I won't be an oddity. Therefore, once Alienware gets it's act together and finally decides to send me the computer they've delayed twice, I'll hopefully squeeze into CD.

In the meantime... our guilds aren't going to get scared off. But since there's no way to stomp on server-mates, the homophobes will probably leave once they realize where they are.

I agree with Cubby -- we should stick it out.

I reserve the right to change my mind if CD fills up, though. ;)
