Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy or
sociopathy.
Individuals with this disorder have little regard for the
feeling and welfare of others
.Oh you didn't get your loot? Cry about it, then run the dungeon again. IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.only to find out that their beloved loot be taken hostage for an insanely high amount of gold in a world where no one has over 100g...that's just terrible.
Everyone in the land of Internetz is a jerk.This guy fits the bill well enough.
Oh I am not a sociopath. I know you are very well versed in wikipedia-searching big words and I'm sure you have a degree in human psychology. However, I am not a sociopath. I just dont think it's that big of a deal.
Yes. What the RL did was pretty crappy. Do people have the right to get upset? Sure. Do people have the right to QQ for a little bit? Sure. Do people have the right to blacklist him on the server for the rest of his days and make forum threads about how terrible he is? Probably not to the extent that it has already gone, though it's arguable (as this thread is proof of that).
I understand the argument presented. I just dont think it's as big a deal as everyone is making it out to be. Yes it's a crappy thing to do, but in all honesty, it's not the end of the world. The solution? Put the RL on ignore and run the dungeon again with a raid leader who isn't a complete tool. World of Warcraft is a very easy game. Loot is very easily attainable.
The reality of the situation is that the RL wasted 15-20 minutes of 24 other people's lives in an attempt to make a large sum of gold. He didn't make any gold (or did he?) and 24 other people got him blacklisted on the server. I dont condone what the RL did, nor do I think he has any valid excuse to justify his actions. It was a pretty crappy and immature thing to do.
I just think the penalty doesn't fit the crime.
EDIT:
Does anyone know if the RL actually did change servers or faction-change?

I know another hated player!
Magicevan from Draenor.
Seriously... you can even look up Magicevan on
Urbandictionary.com!
Most of the server hates him for his know-it-all additude and the fact he spams trade to go to AV.
He has been hated ever since vanilla, lol.

Back when my guild was active we would host voa 25's with just a few of us, and then take whatever loot we wanted that dropped and auction the rest off at fair prices, like 300-500g a piece. Which was cheap for an epic i213 item back then.
People would nerd rage hard but week after week we would still fill groups and people would fork out the G to get their item.
Something tells me people would die of heart attacks if we had pulled stunts like that on this EU server lol

I see what the player has done more than anything.He has caused such stupid actions by many people by "threatening" him with "death threats".And an entire server so bent on the hatred of one person in a game is what he accomplished.He did not ninja loot a 25 VoA piece only.He ninja looted many peoples sense of rationality and pure common sense.He even got players that never grouped with him,on the same side as him or even on the same server as him to focus all attention on him.He could easily be one of the smartest players in WoW because he easily manipulated probably a hundred people to focus on him for some stupid reason.Every post someone makes about him every spamming of trade of how much of a noob he is is only making him even more manipulative.Just stop all discussion on this guy.Anymore discussion will just feed him to do even more stupid things to stir up the population of said server.
Um... considering all discussion had stopped before you posted this...

Did she died?
Seriously did she because death threats every second you are in wow would be traumatizing to the point of suicide, even if she did deserve it.

And
that
is the reason I visit the actual WoW forums as rarely as possible.
I think the person who did it deserved to be blacklisted. I understand it's a game, but it's the principle of the thing. I wholeheartedly agree with the Golden Rule ("Do unto others as you would have done unto you"), but I also agree with its lesser known, earlier converse statement made by Confucius, regarding the concept of "shu" (reciprocity): Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
In other words, he/she got what was coming to her, regardless of the nature of the damages. Now, if it were true that people were making death threats against her, well - then she needs to report it to Blizzard and possibly to the police. Death threats may be a bluff - but people have killed over video games before (such as the infamous story of the guy who stole his friend's in-game sword, and got killed over it). We're living in the Crazy Years; I always tend to take such threats seriously, because you only have to overlook them once in order for it to be one time too many.
