I love being run over by a full group of oranges only to have them spam emotes at me. Makes me feel good.

Don't forget /ignore works on emotes too <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>That's funny, considering 98% of our members our 55+. If you want to imply that members of SGD do so, then give me a list of names instead of saying, "Oh yeah, I've seen your guild do the same stuff."</p>

Your question is one that's been asked since the conception of MMO's. There's no answer to your question. Some people just really need a hug.. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Trackerwolf]

This behavior is a base instinct shared by pack or social animals.  Animals, which includes humans, will pick on and humiliate those they perceive as being weaker or of lower standing.  It is a way to keep others in their perceived place.  An example is a wolf pack.  The alpha male will pick on the others, especially if they appear to be getting to ambitious. I'm not the best at explaining things, but if you look around and pay attention to both human and animal behavior, you'll see some interesting things.  We aren't as far from other animals as we may want to believe.  And we aren't always the rational creatures we'd like to believe we are.

[Gimet]

It is part of the decay happening on the PvP servers. People tweak, people spam chat, peopel body hump, people hail thei onevone pet over and over until they run when they're almost dead, they purposely kill people over and over to annoy them....It's what happens in society period. A state of decency can't always be kept.

You want to give me some names eh? All I'm hearing is this [Removed for Content] and we don't even have any active T2-T3 players. We have some alts of mains yes, but like I said, our focus has been 100% on T7. So give me some names and not, "Yeah, I saw your guild out there!"
