MITHRA *** OR GO *** YOURSELF!
As for this thread, the reason why the mantra "Its just a game" is used is because thats exactly what it is.. a GAME!
If your panties get tighter than a virgin pussy in a *** house everytime someone calmly says :"Dude, its just a game." Then chances are your life is more dull than Jason's old machete.
Yes, I'll admit, people do act like brainless douchebags in-game, but guess what, all you need to do is push the OFF button to your xbox, or close the window on your PC... problem solved!
I do find player warnings highly annoying because these days everyone is way to *** sensitive.
All kinds of reasons are being dished out to produce a player warning.
"Oh that guy slept with my in-game wife.. IN-GAME!"
"Oh, that guy stole items that I can easily acquire again."
"That guy called me JEWISH!"
"That guy said my mom is a drunken ***(even though its true)"
Thats why we have the Flame Core area, that way all you overly-sensitive, estrogen-overdosed log heads can post all the player warnings you want... the rest of us just won't read them.
oh yeah.. ITS JUST A *** GAME!
