I’ve been playing D2 for years and I used to feel like part of a mature, respectful community. Lately though, something feels really off.
I often share my items — sometimes torches if I have a lot — or I open free games to give stuff away.
But instead of meeting grateful or even just polite people, I often get players who jump in without even saying hi. They grab everything, no matter if they need it or not. In “free” games, there’s always that one person who takes it all instantly, just because they can.
And what really bothers me: I always write in the game name or description things like “ask first” or “no sorc” or “don’t rush in,” and 90% of players don’t even read it. They enter and immediately ask “where is it?” or “why is nothing here?” or just start complaining.
There’s just a general lack of manners and basic human decency lately. A few years ago, I felt like I was surrounded by decent, adult gamers. Now? Insults, entitlement, rudeness. I'm a woman, so maybe I just think differently about this :D but I really don’t get what’s going on.
Sometimes I honestly feel like trashing good items just to avoid dealing with this behavior — but then again, I remember how I once started too, and how much a single item could help me become a better player.
So I keep trying to be kind. But it's getting harder.
Does anyone else feel the same way?
community has changed bad...
there is way less honor and respect like two decades ago
