This Game Is Not for You

Although it's likely the original poster (OP) is a troll, or at least not being entirely honest, this thread over at the Darkfall official forums gives a good illustration of the expectations the "hardcore" player-base has for this game. The OP claims he was banned for standing around in a new player area and repeatedly killing newbies over and over again. Although several posters criticize him, several others defend the griefer. A choice quote:

If.. and this is a mighty big IF, that is real, then what the fuck?

All of the people who are like "good, i hope you get banned". Please leave. Just go. Give your game to someone who will pay for it, get your money back, and just leave. This game is not for you.

This game is supposed to allow people to do this. To be assholes, to be jerks, to be PKers. Thats what AV said they wanted, and thats what, for the most part, the community wanted. Its a harder game, made hard not because there are 5 onyxias, or some giant endgame raid, its made hard because of the players. So i say this to all of the people who don't agree with what the OP said... If you think its harsh, you may leave.
