Note to all

Re: Note to all

This may come across as me being pathetic, but I dont care, this forum has changed. Since when is "IM #1 OMFG ROFLMAO U ALL SUK!!!" grounds for being a total douche to anyone who has played less than 1 year? News flash to everyone, just because you are good, does not mean you are the only player who uses this game. I played back when people actually HELPED beginners, not shunned them. I have seen everything from people ignoring newbies completely, to people telling newbies to gtfo. This is starting to make me sick, this used to be a place where everyone could enjoy good games and good music together, now it is just like high school, and the #1 ranks are the "popular kids". Well I say lets change this, starting now, ANYONE who feels that they are put down because they arent the best in the world, show yourself, you deserve just as much respect as anyone. I may not be famous, or the best, but I will personally NOT stand for this, and I guarantee there are plenty of veterans who agree and who have not shown themselves yet.

All the really helpful players quit a long time ago. =(

That being said, that doesn't mean there isn't any. I have quite a few close friends who still frequent this site, and they'd be more than happy to help new players. It's just the mean ones that like to make the most noise. >:3

Now, if you ever do need any help, drop a PM or a message on my wall and I'll help to the best of my ability. Well said, by the way! =^^=

Re: Note to all

Either I'm missing the whole point but I have never experienced anything you have said on these forums then again I am not as active as I used to be.

Re: Note to all

I'm very active on the site and I don't see the stuff runescapedude is referring to either. @OP: can you provide any specific examples if you claim they're that frequent?

Re: Note to all

I don't ever see it happen either, but I see people complain about it every so often so I automatically assume this is somewhat of an issue.

Re: Note to all

I've honestly never seen this, but maybe that's because I'm not looking closely enough. If anything everyone is overhyped now. Why can't they just tell people they suck? I'm terrible at this game, and yet people keep telling me I'm around xyz's skill level when they wreck me and it quite frankly makes me feel like shit. I'd actually like to be insulted for my terrible level of playing, that would be more encouragement for me to get better instead of being told I'm good and then I can't even FC some FMO's and I just cry to myself. People need more support, however they take it, everyone just seems to be complacent nowadays. Being a newbie is a beautiful thing that if I recall this site respects. You have the most room to grow, the most songs to experience and enjoy, and the game is still fun since it's not an aggravating competitive stresser that destroys your fingers as you struggle to climb higher with no other songs to play since you've AAA'd the ones below your skill level and they bore you now.

You should be glad you're a newbie, enjoy the game, play all the songs, you have something to look forward too, and no one actually hits an insurmountable wall till the high FMO range (where you can actually hit a natural skill barrier), you can keep climbing and feel good about yourself. You have tons of tokens to get and AAA's to achieve. I respect you guys on this site, you keep the community fresh and the game going.

You pretty much summed up what I think of FFR right now and what I think of newbies haha. Too bad I never experienced being a newbie, I was already good at this game to begin with. (SDG-ing FMOs first time playing) :/

Re: Note to all

The FFR community is a good community.

^this is also true. I have to say that out of all the communities I have been in this one seems to be the one that is the most friendly. Which is pretty different from the last one I was in which was just full of downright try hards, flamebaits, and trolls. Any noobs that came in left within a day or two because they were getting trolled hard core.

Re: Note to all

I never got shit when I started and I don't give shit unless you deserve it

Except when I first started stepping I almost quit because of all the shit I got in pack threads and emails. But the stepping community is cold hearted bitch

I really want to be a noob again too. I remember when I couldn't SDG standard songs and then went to the easiest, got my first AAA, and from there proceeded to systematically clear all songs of a single difficulty in each genre, and work my way up. It was really fun actually and back then BF's weren't aggravating, and there were so many songs to enjoy. Now it's AAA FGO's or bust. The blackflags I pull on nearly every FMO are extremely frustrating, and since I've AAA'd nearly all VC's, if BF's are pissing me off the only other outlet now are FGO's I can't even combo, it's extremely frustrating and the game loses a sense of enjoyment it once had. I have a very love hate relationship with the game, and after 5 years, no matter how hard I try I can't seem to let it go.

Re: Note to all

I always notice you and your assless-chaps avatar.

:O i never noticed that before

You can't really say that. A lot of "newbies" may not feel like they have to post in the forum because the game or chatting on profiles may be the only thing that strikes interest for them on this website. Just because you have a few people agreeing with your point doesn't make you the voice for the people who don't post in this forum.

that's how i was for the first 5 or so years on FFR. just playing the game was enough

Re: Note to all

It's the internet. There are always going to be douches and they're always going to be louder than the people who are more likely to be nice/helpful. It happens.
