Anyway, I was at tibia.com looking at threads, and I found a very good post that I decided to share with you. NOTE! I DID NOT WRITE IT!.
This might not be a thread that you would expect
on proposal board, but it is a darn good proposal;
STOP THE DISCRIMINATION!
All the servers of the worlds of Tibia have something
in common, discrimination. It happens in a lot of
forms and variaties.
LIST
Before I start typing and all that, I have to say
something why I am making this thread. I do not
expect people to start holding hands and sing
songs together, there will always be problems
between people. But problems can be fixed with
time, instead of ignoring everyone that annoys
you at first sight, try talking to him/her? Maybe
they aren't so bad, not at all perhaps.
(a) Level discrimination
A lot of people think that being a lower level
equals being a noob, a thief, or anything negative.
Why should the people that are level 100+ be nicer
than a level 12? Logic and reasoning have vanished
from the earth. And why do higher levels get more
trust from people? I have asked around for making
a birthday calender. First with my level +100, and
then with this level...
These are the results:(Total=100 birthdays)
Level +20: everyone asked why and some just ignored
me without a single question.
Level +100: almost everyone just said their birthday,
some asked why.
Sometimes it only took 2 seconds with the
level
+100, was waiting at the boat;
Me: "whens ur birthday?"
Person: "XX september <running away again>"
BIG difference between reactions? No?
"Lies have speed, truth has endurance."
(b) Skill discrimination
Yes, skill discrimination... Can you believe it?
Sometimes even people just think you are a bad
person or player if you have under XX/XX or under
magic level XX. It sounds ridicilous, it is
ridicilous, if you think of it. People think that
skills is being the equivalent of being nice.
Although in certain cultures thats normal. Survival
of the strongest, why not survival of the nicest?
Ok, now ask yourself this, how many times
HAS
somebody asked your skills/magic level? A zillion
times? Tibia is about getting levels and skills,
but not everything, I do not think it was the idea
of [player]Cipsoft[/player] to make it all about
getting levels and power.

(c) Function discrimination
Tibia has certain functions, certains social ladders.
Like normal players, tutors, senior tutors,
gamemasters
and even gods. I am not telling that the system
should change, not if it still works perfectly. But
why does the advice of a tutor seems more
trustworthy
than of a player that knows as much, says the
same words a tutor would do, but doesn't have a nice
colored text attached to him/her in help? Being a
tutor is not an official position (and yes I'm
right about this), in other words: is a normal
player
with shiny text
)).
Player1: who is tutor here? i have question
Player2: no tutor online i think, maybe i can answer
your question?
Player1: u r tutor?
Player2: no
Player1: bye
That situation sometimes happens... I am not telling
everyone acts like that, but some do. The gamemaster
function is nicely made, I agree, but then you have
the problem nobody acts like they normally do. They
act nicer than normal, friendlier. And when the
gamemaster poofs; chaos, panic, disaster reigns
again
amung the crowds. What if everyone would act the
way they do to everyone else? Not only gamemasters
and tutors. OR be as friendly to everyone as
they would be to a person with an official function.
"Strange that the truth hurts, while lies do
not."
