I 'm sure that the simplicity of the sequence of events is not too much for your intellect:
1. You probe a player.
2. What was yesterday your fleet, today it's his crystal mines 1 level up.
And thanks to khan's input, we know that this has happened to you twice.
And, Urweirdsaysi, what is idiotic?
Is it maybe PMing your attacker whining and calling him names that can get you banned if passed to the admins?
However, I just deleted them. I don't want a potential farm of mine to get banned.
What I find disrespectful is to ignore the advice of players who hold the top positions since I joined the game, or
the remarks of players who, in parallel with me, made their way near the top, through hard work.
They keep giving their advice for the benefit of the game, even against their farming interests.
There is always the option to utilize that advice or whine continuously when meeting the consequences of an action.
I love how you insist upon saying others are immature and then in the second sentence you question others intellectual levels. You don't sound like a hypocrite at all. You sound like a very mature, well spoken individual. (Thats sarcasm, in case it wasn't obvious.)
I also love how you think you're somehow superior to everyone else, because you have a rank next to your name. If I were you, I'd see if a Mod would put bright shiny stars around your name, that way you get the the attention you seem so intent upon trying to acquire.
This is a game and people are able to play it how they choose. Yes, not listening to advice of experienced players (Which, I will give you credit that you DO have experience, I'm not trying to deny that.) can prove hazardous for you at times, but what players do and do not choose to do is none of your business, quite frankly. By expecting everyone else to listen to you, you've placed yourself upon a pedestal, which no one should be placed on. You're not (Nor is anyone else, for that matter) the final decision and not everyone has to bow down to your decisions and judgments. You're disrespecting others by expecting them to always listen to you and wanting them to apologize if they happen to pass gas in your system.
"And, Urweirdsaysi, what is idiotic?" For someone that wants to question others intelligence, you don't seem too intent on reading people's posts. "Anyone thinking probing is disrespectful is an idiot, to but it bluntly." Taken from my first post, which only had three sentences.
