@Baxster Oh you are so hilarious! lol Anyway on a serious note, I have actually had someone say that I should change my name. It wasn't in UO or the name I have now. I had "Hunter" as a last name on my character in GW 2. The guy said I shouldn't have anything close to the name of my character's class. (I was a ranger in the game.) I told him thanks for his opinion and kept my name the same.
@GreenBar No one forced you to read Parsec's comment. So your example makes no sense.
@Nyx Give me a break! I am not hurt at all over your opinions from my housing change post, but while expressing those opinions there are ways to be more nice about it. Just because he wasn't cussed out or told to leave doesn't mean that he wasn't treated in a negative way. I am not referring to you specifically. This message is to everyone that replied. If you are going to give constructive criticism then you should be able to take it. Also it should never be considered a "nothing" post to ask for better treatment of people. Please tell me what's wrong with wanting everyone to be happy and feel good? (I know it's not reality to think that it's possible for everyone to feel good, but I want to do my part to try for that.)
@Wil Thank you for being on Parsec's side! Though that was addressed at me and not at Parsec. rotfl
There was a condescensing tone in a lot of the replies. I didn't see how Parsec was insulting at all by suggesting change. He was trying to help in his own way. He was actually given kudos in chat by Yoda for grasping the economy on the shard so quickly. He must have said something that was right. This may have been why he felt that he should post his thoughts here.
You guys ban together because you have been playing the shard together for years. I'm not asking that you shouldn't be against his ideas or not give him feedback on that. I am asking that you make people feel more welcome expressing an opinion on the forum especially if it's for change on the shard. Please believe me that I am NOT saying that you should agree with everyone's opinions or the changes they suggest. Just be less harsh when speaking against what other's suggest.
And just to let you guys know, Parsec read everyone's messages and then logged off and he hasn't been back since. This was someone that has been on the shard almost constantly the past week since he logged in for the first time. Before he logged off he had replied to me and let me know that he felt chewed up. I really hope I am wrong here, but I don't think he is coming back. So I guess you guys can feel good about this if this was the result you were looking for.
