Post #4 says "It's called crouch. You are fail.", then there are more that say he should "RTFH" and so on. You might want to start from the beginning of thread.

And so a few posts like that you and label the entire community as bad? Post the OP story (similar in story) in any other game forum here and see what comes out, elitists and trolls. It is no different, none.

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
As I see it you have three options;
1) Crouch (let's you move through other players)
2) Go into hide (has same effect)
3) Go around (in this case, jump off the pier and swim to the boat)
My main reasons for playing mmo's is the added social aspect of playing with other people, and the extra challenge that other people can add to the game's AI.
You could have seen this episode with the two corn-holes as a chance to do some RP'ing, bypassing them in any of the three ways I suggested, and shown them your fiercest fart emote. Then moved on to the next challenge, that mmo's are supposed to give you, be it by the game itelf or the other players in it.
Looking for a game with no griefers/asshats in it will be a long journey indeed, especially if you look in the ffa pvp ones.
Ps The name of your thread is not very accurate, to say the least.

"a few posts"?? How many ppl have attacked the OP in this thread alone? Actually I was only replying to the highlighted statement he made in his post.
But since you mention community, if the die-hards would stop being such sensitive/defensive asshats and help out new comers to the game and this forum maybe the population wouldn't be in the tank. Then,"maybe", people would get over their initial bad experience and see that there "are" helpful, decent ppl in AoC and "maybe" it's worth subscribing. But the asshattery seems to rule in chat and most of the AoC boards.

Lets cut the crap right now. You don't take issue with the community obviously seeing as how you don't play the game so it doens't really effect you. You just want to get on your high horse and bitch and moan and rant to any infant that will listen to you becuase Funcom touched you in bad places.
News flash we're not elisits. We just don't tolerate the kind of troglydyte that spends his time in forums for games he has no intention of playing for the sole purpose of trolling.
TLDR: We're nice to people who deserve it. You're not in that category.

All those who think the OP should have "RTFM" or should have "known" how to figure it out on his own.
Next time a player asks a dumb question in a game, perhaps if it really bothers you that much you could put them on ignore and go about your business.
What isn't needed is a bunch of unhelpful replies.
If you know the answer, and don't mind sharing it, say it and move on.
You get no experience or skill points for being a jerk to another person in an MMORPG game.
And in real life you might get a poke in the nose for such behavior. (which is why you'd never behave that way there)

If he had asked a question on what he could do to avoid that situation in the future I'm sure he would have gotten different answers from people, however when he make this topic using the name he uses and writes the text he did. No one will take him serious, we will see him as nothing but another troll.

Calm down tiger.......you assume alot. I think your post and previously ones in this thread would define "You" as the troll. And you illustrate my opinion perfectly about alot,but definently not all, of the AoC community.
And BTW would "We just don't tollerate the kind of troglydyte" and "We're nice to people who deserveit" be considered "elitest".......?........I may be missing something.

I was speaking about the "community" in general (ie. forums, chat, CS), but I see your point.
Look at it this way, The OP had a bad experience with AoC, the AoC community, and CS...........he's not happy.......he comes here and tells the world about it. Is there any difference than "the next guy" having a great experience with AoC, the AoC community, and CS.....then coming here and telling the world about it? We're on a discussion board, we discuss MMO's, the good, bad, and the ugly. Would one be considered a "troll" and not the other?
I fail to see the continuing problem.
OP has already gotten several well meaning tips on how to solve his challenge with basic in-game mechanics.
Considering his flame-baiting and unaccurate naming of the thread, a little reaction was to expected. No need to play all victim here.
PS Have a look at my last respons if you need a repeat of the help that has been offered already.

The definition of a troll is based on how they do it. There are school book examples of aoc trolls on this forums who does nothing else then bash the game day out and day in. When they get banned they make a new account and continue with what they did before. For my part I define a troll when they start bashing out aoc directly telling how much of a fail it is. Specially when they have no proper reason.
If OP had named the topic "Bad customer support in AoC" I wouldn't have have seen him as a troll. However he didn't he did everything I expect from a troll.The one and only difference is how a user write what they want to say. Oh and to have said it nothing is worse for a game then fanbois and trolls, both lack the ability to reason with sense and they all stick to their "truth" like it was the holy bible. If a person comes here and praise AoC and tries to tell us how awesome the game is on all areas I will discuss the different things where I know he is wrong with him. If I catch him lying I will make him look stupid no matter fanboi or troll. I do like AoC myself, but AoC is not a perfect MMO where everything works.
Just like any other MMO it has it dark sides and not so good things about it.

Well Crashloop i invested all told $1133.78 on there promises and got a perma ban for asking about dx10 listed on there collectors edition box. Im retired and will get some kind of satisfaction pointing out things i think are wrong and hopefully inform some folks not to sub to anything Funcom puts out or hypes. They made a mistake screwing me, thats how i feel about it.
MAGA
So you invested $1133.78 on a new computer because AoC was the only game you ever planned to play that would have directx 10? Surely you planned or play other games that offer dx10? I mean blaming funcom because you upgraded your comptuer so you could play dx10 is kinda absurd if you ask me.
I am a video game junkie and I would never buy hardware because of a certain game. There is just to many games out there to enjoy, especially with DX10.

Had you posted any other posts that could be seen as negative prior to the question about dx10? Because some of the people in the first guild I was in got perma banned over minor things, however when I investigated it showed everytime they would post something that broke the rules they got a certain amout infractions points. When they reached a certain amount they would get ban for x days, if they reached a higher limit of infraction point they would be banned for a longer amount of time. The only thing we know about your ban is what you claim, there is no way for us to verify that you actually got permabanned for just asking a question about dx10. I know they were extremely trigger happy on infraction points and such but being perma banned for asking about dx10 sounds way over the top. There is always 2 sides to a story, and I won't blindly believe you got perma banned just for asking a question.
Did you invest the cash in the new computer for AoC alone? Like no intention of playing any other game?

Yeah...I don't get the support some are giving to the OP and the negativity against posters that replied promptly without being rude..Several brief answers were given that resolved the OP's problem...and negate his complaint. then OP just goes on to say his main complaint was GM ignoring the problem and that some players don't know what to do so support should assist. I have both a virtual and paper manual that clearly tells me the function of crouch...as well as the info..plain as day..in the skills window. Unless the OP is illiterate...which I find doubtful having written the post and replied to other posters,,,then it should have been easy enough to use the ability to read...and carry it over to the manuals or skill window in the games U.I. Instead..he counters various replies apparently righteous in his ignorance and that the GM should spoonfeed him info for a problem that really wasn't one. Prompting additional flaming posts from others...perhaps unnecessary...yet , in a way and imo, justified.

It's not absurd, "many" ppl ungraded their machines or purchased new rigs to play AoC. Remember the infamous " AoC is steak" comment, next gen. mmo, dx10 compatible, huge ad campaigns and the like. Since almost all MMOs up to that point didn't require powerful rigs, most ppl knew if they wanted to play AoC they were going to have to upgrade.

It was the incentive to do so i upgraded power supply 2 new video cards, upgraded to vista homepremimum and had best buy install the sutff. I bought the collectors edition and 6 month game time. I got a perma ban about 4th or 5th week after launch and it was my first post on the forums. I also did not get smart or snotty. I just said looking at the collectors edition box it stated that dx10 was ingame and i believe it was turned off not sure but if it was not inteneded to be in at launch why was it listed on box. That was it and post did not last 2hrs before it was pulled and i was banned. I was so mad i just uninstalled and from that point on i point out what i think is wrong with Funcom and Aoc when i think it is being hyped or others are asking questions. I am always respectful and stay on topic. Oh i forgot i either went to 2gigs of ram or to 4gigs i think i went to 4 gigs not sure and the best buy recite is buried somewhere.

I don't think it's absurd unless he spent that amount of money just to play AoC and no other games. Updating your computer for such an amount without knowing if the game you are going to play will be any good is like buying stocks with blindfold on. You can be lucky and get a winning combination, but you can also risk to have wasted a lot of money on a new computer you will not be using for other games.
Blaming funcom for spending money on a computer is like blaming the police for giving you a speed ticket, you took the risk with upgrading your PC just like you took with driving too fast. If it costs more then it tastes you can only really blame yourself and take it as a hard learned lesson and move on.

If you got banned for one post then I guess the mods was seriously trigger happy that day. Did you try to contact customer support to get them to look at it as that sounds like someone abused their power a bit too much.

I was logged on when the OP went threw his "issue" he did indeed mention it in Global, and was indeed given the work around, he was also bashed.
The global chat is super entertaining, even if at times offensive, even for me.
Whatever is happening in that channel, AoC doesn't really care, this much is very obvious.
I'm a new player, not a MMO noob, but they are in sore need of many upgrades with basic direction/grind/and LFM, in this game.
The core mechanics of playing and so on, are relatively fun, and addicting, even though I wish I could move and cast. (Playing a ToS) I haven't seen the end game play out, and I'm struggling to make that happen. I know how it feels, having done everything in a MMO, and just waiting to get out, move on, and it definitely feels like this is the case for most vets still logging on, as there is constant chatter about other games, and the problems with this one.
I can see why the OP got bummed, the global reaction, and the persistence of the peeps blocking him, IDK, it was dumb.
But, then again, you only have what you have, and this is what you have right now in AoC, I'm sure there is plenty of cool people playing still, they really haven't been to vocal, and were nowhere to be seen when this was going down.
To the OP, unfortunately you don't deserve any special treatment, this is the treatment the people who own and run this game feel is acceptable, if you feel its below acceptable, then I wish you the best of luck!
anyways, blah blah.
