Back before you had a chance to miss me?
Ok, I have a little build I use from time to time that I use to run missions with lowbies, It cons as hacker, and has some essential patcher abilities I use; the drawback to this build is it's low VT. Anyway, I come across a level 45 amidst the mission gringing, and I cast a few half-hearted hacks at him, expecting him to simply jump away. He doesn't immeidiatly run, and as I hack him, he deflects one of my hacks. He proceeds to jump away shortly before he dies, he comes back nearly dies again, then leaves for good. Minutes later, this lovely interchange takes place....
Now, around this time, I accidently put the poor guy on ignore before finishing our conversation... I think this really upset him because he got worse. He got quiet, I asked him if he brain hurt, and then he actually started making less sense. Then he put me on ignore. Now I figured him for a follower and not a leader, so I predicted he would think I ignored him on purpose and he would do the same thing I did, and remove me from ignore, and that's exactly what he did. So, since it obviously bothered him the first time I ignored him, I did it again... for good this time.
Of course, I goaded him on because that's the kind of mood I was in from all the mission grinding, but really, this guys heart rate and blood pressure probably went up, and he was probably genuinely trying to find a way to 'get at' me, but he couldn't. Why? Because I've been through enough in life to not be bothered by some 14 year-old e-gangsta who is typing on his pc with pictures of Hilary Duff behind it. If any negativity from this game ever bleeds over into my real life, I will immediately cancel my account, pull out my Atari, and play Combat and Asteroids.
What's the point here? This kind of behavior has no place in a game. Makes me concerned that some of the folks who behave this way under the cloak of the internet live and work right next to us.... Maybe I should practice my real life knife throwing skills...
I hope you brought backup, cuz if I catch you alone... it's a wrap.
