Yeah.. they might not be right there next to you in person, but still.. its a person playing that. We play this game as a way to have fun in our free time, and it gets ruinned if theres greedy inconsiderate idiots.
As well as greed, there's the power trip element. There are just some people who get hard-ons from bullying or taunting other people. Most likely, these people are too weak to do the same in real life, so they have to resort to doing it in a game.
I noticed it pretty much every where I go.. Even on the smaller mobs. I usually just shrug it off and watch them get killed if they are dilligantly wanting to get there first. So I'm like "Meh" and put up with it and go somewhere else and come back later.
Other than that... Yes... greed... everyone has greed, but it's not as bad when people are so full of themselfs that they call a fighter useless and ban you from a party though you are exceeding in everything they ask of you befor you get to SK.. -goes to corner and cries.-
