Any MMO where i won't get bullied LOL

[frozentundra123456]

One idea: if you take up an actual competetive multiplayer game which has good matchmaking (for example Starcraft 2), then even if most of the players are better than you, the game should match you with/against other players close to your skill, so lack of skill shouldn't stop you from getting fun, even matches.[/QUOTE]



In theory this should work, but some good players set up multiple accounts so that they get matched with newer players and this makes it very unfair. Maybe Battle.net prevents this though, come to think of it.
I have played a fair amount of COD4 online and never really got yelled at even though my K/D ratio was usually terrible. It just is not much fun after a while getting killed so much.
And I refuse to play MMOs partly for the problem of getting criticized by better players, but also because I would rather play a single player type game that has a definite storyline and ending resolution, and does not require meeting up with other players.

Play a game your like and with friends......Playing any game online with people is compedative and people love to ruin someone else day. You could also play games that are group play but no pvp/vs of some sort, just a co op. Borderlands ?

I would second Borderlands. Really enjoy that game. It has online co-op and even LAN play so two players on a network can play together with only one copy of the game. You can also challenge another to PVP if you wish, but that does not sound like what you would want to do.
And the base game is very dependent on levelling, so if you are getting killed too much, just go back and do some easier quests and level up, and you should have no problem.

Looks like started an argument here Anyway thanks for all the recommendations - I am not Worried about bullying LOL I just can't be assed with the games such as wow and any co-op game where you have people that are all pretty good at the game already.

In reply to the person above that thinks wow is easy I would agree with you but anyone joining the game now has little chance of joining a good guild and without that will find it impossible to get good gear or get practice at harder instances. This is due to most ppl only now doing them for guild alts or specific items etc. Due to this you get all the Must know tactics stuff in the trade chat and you get kicked when you don't lol Thats really what I mean by bulling - the intolerance of other players of those trying to learn. Maybe its different on the US servers

oh, i thought you were talking about US servers. it's probably the same, if not worse.

You can't make extra accounts in SC2. It's one account per a copy of the game.
(Blizzard took this too far, as you need separate copies for different regions of the world. I would also personally want separate rankings for playing different races on that one account, but that's a non-issue if you either don't switch races or are equally bad at all of them.)

If WOW is too hard for you, you should go back to console gaming.

The reason ibex said this game is so he has someone to cyber bully. He is tired of being picked on. The rest of his psycho babble bs statement is what his therapist tells him how to deal with getting bullied.

That was way out of line, and I resent that. Was just trying to help. But you took it very personally it seems. Otherwise you wouldn't react in this fashion, would you? Are you one of those people who I mentioned as the "2nd type"?

This thread is is just like that iCarly episode I just watched with my kid.....the "I Start a Fan War" one with Jack Black in it.

But you don't want good gear and to do hard instances. You said so yourself. You want easy and non time consuming. Good gear isn't needed to do non-heroics and non-raids. You can solo your way to max level if you want. And do the occasional max level dungeon. If you don't have that much time to play, it'll take you months to hit the level cap.

Why do you care if people bully you in a MMO? :/ Tell them you hope they die in a fire in moms basement and move on.

Ragnarok Online or Second Life

I played Ragnarok a long time ago when it was still paid. I got a week for free and didnt care much for it.
Looked at the site just now and they imply its free to play but not much fun unless you pay for a premium account.
Is that correct?

No idea, I haven't played in like 3-4 years, and even then it was mostly on private servers.

 

[aigomorla]

asking for a MMO where u wont be bullied is like asking for Aim bot in a FPS shooter competition.

It just wont happen.

MMO's is a realm even where the bullied gets to bully, and sad as it may seem, its the ONLY area they can bully so they will bully til no tomorrow.

The only solution is to bully the hell out of the bully with bigger bully's by associating yourself in a highly reputable guild, so when people see your guild name, they know if they mess with you, all hell will break lose for them.

Other then that, ethics and common sense do not exist in MMO's because there are 5 yrs olds running around who only know ethics is a word they cant spell.

And sad as it maybe. the older guys get hit, and think "oh i got messed with when i started, so its now my time to punk little kids..."

If you can put up with the hundreds of absolute rape-fests it'll take to get you down to the appropriate level, heaven-forbid you accidentally win a game along the way.

Once there, remember to only play at prime time or the game will expand your selection of available opponents gradually as you wait.

I have yet to play a game with matchmaking where it actually matches you with people of your skill level.

Have you actually played SC2? It is very good at determining your skill level.

The first few games place you, and if you start winning a few in a row it will start to raise the bar, if you start losing a few in a row it will start to lower the bar.

Basically the more you play the more even you will be against your opponent.

Although they really need a group above diamond besides the invitation group. Once you make it into to diamond there is quite a range of skill levels. I was winning 2 out of 3 in diamond league and ranked fifth in my group - but doubt i have the reflex and micro to make it to invitational.

Spell check is for winners.

I've played quite a few where these systems work very well (Starcraft 2, Street Fighter 4, Company of Heroes). The thing is when you're a n00b you're still going to get beat down because you learn so much from those first few games that even someone who's played 10 games is going to be much better than you.

For example in Starcraft 2 bronze league a lot of players still know how to do a 6-pool zergling rush or zealot rush and it takes a while to learn to defend against that. You just gotta keep playing until you get as good as the bottom tier of players and you should keep winning 50% of your games after that.

Just joking ibex. I don't know you or this other guy or anything about Eve or anything at all to be honest.

I just was waiting one day to use that line because I read it off a bathroom stall when I was making a poo.
