But you do bring up a good point: people, in general, are stupid. People will do stupid and borderline unethical things because they think it's funny. Chat coloration ability won't change that, it'll just change the venue for their stupidity. Personally, I'd rather have them being idiots in a forum that doesn't really have any effect in the long run than have them get bored and find a way to be an idiot that might actually cause some harm. But that's just my opinion. |
It's funny, I'd get taken for that little trick everytime. I'd see the message, then start to get all PO'd about it, then after a few seconds smack my head and calling myself stupid for falling for it.
Another one that I feel for when I first got into it was I saw someone running around past people (me included) that had a macro /emote something along the lines of "so-and-so has pickpocketed 13 silver from you". I knew there was a pickpocketing ability, so thought I'd been nailed. Sat there for 5 minutes or so trying to figure out how much silver I had on me before he did that. Came real close to sending him a /tell cussing him out before I figured it out first.
In any case, yes, I agree people are for the most part, plain stupid. They'll always find way to abuse the system, no matter what system that may be. Anwhere from spamming in the chat channels, being generally dishonest towards other players, etc... It's just a fact of life, and you get used to it. Afterall, SOE didn't implement the /ignore feature for nothing.
