@Anne After reading your posts, and listening to your reason of as to why Dmac's perception of the Persona community is what it is, I can somewhat agree with you about things. Sometimes players, especially lower level ones can be extremely rude in the face of advice, I'm sure I've done it before, possibly even unintentionally. The truth is, if you don't put in the effort yourself then you won't make it anywhere significant. Hell, if making it to the top was easy, then it wouldn't be worth it. But... you can't just blame the lower levels for sucking, that's counterintuitive. Not saying that you are by any means, but I'll break it down for you, from my personal perspective. Straight up, there are very few advanced players who are actually kind people, or at least have manners. My proof of this, was awhile back when a player asked you for advice on a matchup and you basically told him, 'You're not good enough just yet, so I can't help you out.' There's Bace, who said, "If you aren't good at this game, then there's no point in speaking to me." How about when most of you blew up on Barzorx on Twitter for giving his opinion? You have to sit down and realize that you're a leader, a representative of a community of people who play a game in a country. One of the representatives anyway. In reality you and some others try to act like a white knight, when really you're being an asshole, and having the community follow suit since you're the "top level". At one point Doonpa left a Skype chat BECAUSE all people did was talk shit. You think that's a good example to set? You think that just because you're skilled at the game, you have the right to blatantly disrespect people, even if you subconsciously did it? Another thing, nobody in NA specifically asked anybody to defeat Japan. I'm positive a lot of people want it in their hearts, but don't make up fantasies of people begging you to do things. Don't blame others for a loss that you yourself and others got, just hold it. Until some of the top players can actually become good at uh, life and socializing, us as a community have a lot of work to do. No matter how good you are, it's never an OK to be a huge fucking dick.
