    Only annoying people in mmorpgs can get "bullied" for example a guy runs into a pvp areana shouting how hes amazing and everyone gangs on him over and over.

    I really dont notice it in any other aspects of the game. If you are able to get bullied in mmorpgs then you really needa do something about how you play cause mmorpgs are like the friendliest places ever...

    High levels dont "pick on lowbies" they maybe crack a few jokes but it doesnt normally go further than that and to be honest its good cause then the players learn something new in the long run.

    Cyber-bullying is a joke. If someone types letters to you, just type letters back.

    go with the "sticks and stones may break my bones" approach, it's so fun to see them get pissed off when their douchy attitude doesnt have any affect on you

    You shouldn't Cyber bully, Its wrong and its pretty sad doing it to someone that you don't even know and what they have been going through in life


    Unless you got a reason...if they scammed you or anything that has a purpose of cyber bullying them.

    Well.. when I played conquer online and was strongest on server I wouldnt say I bullied anyone lol.. I helped new players. The ones that were closest to being bullied by me were like the other top players like ranks 10-20 people who would pk my guild members since they couldnt kill me for being the best. Then I would kill them and all there members. Then go back to leveling.. then they would kill my members again.. then I would kill all them again etc lol.. Got loads of kills like that and some of there members quit the guild from being pked to much so I guess that was kinda bullying but they deserved it for pking my members for no reason :/

    On gunz online.. lol everyone has a ego there its funny. Even when I go on there I kinda get one even knowing how ******ed people are there they still annoy me and always get to me with there gayness..

    When training for the army, higher ranks are basically "required" in a lot of cases to be complete assholes to the new cadets.


    This is the way most of the world works however. If someone is a higher "rank", they'll be an asshole until you earn their respect. I don't find anything wrong with this theory, the only problem is when people are ******ed and are always giving people a hard time in MMOGs for no apparent reason, even if you're the same level. Then again, this is what PvP is for :P.

    Lol a lot of people tend to get into arguements with me in games which leads to them trying to bully me. It usually happens with me minding my own business and someone comming along showing off. I'm killing monsters my level and you got this guy who's 50+ levels higher than the mobs in the area KSing and bragging about how they can do 5mil damage while you can only do 500. sometimes it's just another player around the same level who wants to compare damage with everyone else on the map until they are satisfied with being the strongest there, then when they come across someone who doesn't praise and drool over the miniscule damage increase they have over the average player they get mad and want to bug you and call in the guild buddies help run you off the map.

    I bet this is sounding familiar to a lot of people right now.

    A lot of it has to do with people thinking that everyone cares what level someone else is in an mmo or how good their gear is. People with power and/or popularity always get more respect than those without so they think they can get away with a lot of crap. Most of those people are B**** made anyway because they don't act like that when they go up against someone they know is their equal or better. The majority of them only act like that because they have their net persona to hide behind; in real life they wouldn't dare to say or do some of the same crap they do online. I don't have any respect or admiration for them or their flunkies that enable them nor do I do the same to others.

    Oh we got some of this going on 'round here too.

    There's two things I normally do when this happens to me.
    1. I completely ignore them, making them feel invisible which is no fun for them, they will leave.
    2. I start a very nice conversation with him and tell him a very very looooong and boring story so that he will leave of all the annoying text I am writing.
    Both very effective.

    Why can't we all just get along???

    Lmao. Nah, doesn't work that way; those guys were right, suck it up. And yes, it is cyber-bullying but wth can you do? If this is real life, and you are being bullied, what can you do if you are inferior? Suck it up! Think of how our society functions, and you get a better idea. (I think this is why you have internet bullying going on, I am assuming many of them have real life issues of being bullied, and they needed this way to express their repression. It's like serial killers... sorta; maybe?)

    It's part of living... we bully others, and we get bullied by others. It's called survival, lol.
