Author Topic: I can't stand the new players!  (Read 6846 times)

I'm sure you've heard this one before, but it's my turn! >:O
So, hosting my server like I usually do, I've become sick and tired of all the new players, not to be some ID discriminator, either.  Nearly all of the players who join my server are above 10k IDs, and while some of them are fine, a lot of them piss me off.  Questions like "do you have add-ons?", which, if answered with no, results in the player leaving.  I mean, really, can't you wait the five or ten minutes for it to load?  And none of these new players are much fun, I miss the older Blockland days where you could join any server and make a new friend, or where someone could join your server and you wouldn't be bored, because that person would provide an interesting idea or hold a decent conversation.  This wave of new players is so clueless, not to mention how most of them act!  I can hardly hold a conversation with the newbies, and none of them get things through their skull, such as "No, you can't have admin for the 100th time", or "No spamming".  Some guy just joined my server before who asked for admin, then after I said no, he asked to load.
Seriously.
Right now, as I'm typing, some idiot on my server is shooting me with some gun.  I am really sick of this new Blockland generation, and miss all of the old members who seem to have suddenly stopped playing.  And don't just say "It's your server" because a lot of server that I join are full of this new generation.  I'm just so mad because I remember the fun days of Blockland, when free builds were fun and people made cool things, when you could always make friends with someone, and how we used to fool around and have fun.  Now with all the older members gone, I don't see that fun stuff happening anymore, and my memories of Blockland are trashed by this new generation of players.

If you read all of that, thanks, and let me know if you feel the same.  Like I said, not all of the new members are like this, but a decent amount are.

I agree at some of this.

Hosting a server isn't as fun as it used to be.
People ask "is it a long load?". I don't answer. I don't know how many of my add-ons the already have.

I hate that question, I usually tell them "yes" so they will leave.

Although it's probably not the right thing to do, but I just say "It's very long."
I used to explain to them why no one can answer it, but really, you get so many people asking that it wears you out.

Yeah, Chrono, I used to say "it depends" and then explain it, but that gets too worn out.

It seems like you have to explain it OVER AND OVER to every new player. But it is important to explain, so they don't go to another server and ask the same thing.

Yeah, but there's about 3000 new players (From 10k to 13k) who don't understand that question. That's a lot to explain it to, even if you only had a third of that number joining your server in a wekk or so.

When hosting my RP games, I find that some can realy play well.

However, the majority either ask for admin till the cows come home, spam up my server with little red evils
or just stand there like lemons.

Haha, Chaos, way to word it.

Usually by the time I finish typing my explanation, they leave. D:

Or right after you're done explaining, they just kind say "Wha..?" and then leave.
That's the worst D:

I used to sarcasticly say "It takes an eternity to load" then some smart enough to pick up on the sarcasm would stick around and those who did not understand left. Now I either say "It depends" and if they question on what then I say "stuff." I find it really irritating to hear that about ten times a day.

I was asked, "Is it a long load?"
I said: "I guess but it's worth it. Lets you join more servers"
As soon as I said that, he spawned
