The bottom line is that people take Runescape.com way to serious, especially in the clanning/pking community. People flame and talk trash for several reasons. Some do it because it makes them feel alpha when they kill you in a video game while throwing out colorful insults, others do it for the trolls and lols, others do it because they actually want to crush your spirit. What too many people seem to lose sight of is that this is a game meant to be played for enjoyment, and while I am competitive myself and admire the competitive spirit of the community when a computer game becomes all about your win/loss column and flaming and fun is out of the equation... it really just seems to me like you need to take a step back and learn to enjoy the game again. Don't get me wrong, when I fight I fight to win and am disappointed whenever I lose, but I play because I find the game fun, especially clanning. If we lose, I can accept it and move on, if we win, I can accept it and move on. Moderate amounts of trash talk and flame are to be expected, but sometimes it just seems like the extent of some people's vocabulary is "lol u suck" and "lol i fuked ur mum".
