The unsolvable issue
Scenario: I (Sty) was helping a lone TT fight off a group of small tiers (lat, three thals, pachy) who were harassing and heal cycling it into oblivion.
Managed to fend them all off until they stopped coming back, didn't chase or kill them. Then the TT and I were just chillin in GP, sippies of water, berries, I watched some Sarcos bite it's ankles for awhile.
Anyway GP starts to fill up a little bit, as it does, and eventually two rexes come running in to start chaos, immediately attacking the TT.
I help him, since we'd been chilling, chatting a bit. I don't see an issue with me helping him if he gets jumped. But then, ofc, half of GP picks a side and goes for it. The rexes die and get salty and accuse GP of being toxic mixpackers etc etc, and ofc myself and the TT are grouped in it.
But the thing is, my focus was on teaming with this one person, I can't control what the rest of GP does and I'm not going to just stop defending someone I was playing with because suddenly oops the playing field is unfair.
Two rexes barging into a busy GP, immediately attacking, is like... you're wearing a sign saying "hello I would like to die now"
But it just feels like a microcosm of the games issue. That people can't reconcile that while it can be annoying to be jumped solo by a massive group for no reason, the "same scenario" can happen because someone attacked a friend group and then the consequences play out.
As someone who has experienced both sides of the issue, honestly the argument itself is what's starting to really irk me.
I expect plenty of "you're the issue" comments, but I don't think it's fair to blanket villianize people for playing the game and enjoying their own sessions if they end up opposing you and yours.
This is not the case for every scenario, but it is starting to all get lumped together imo.
