    How pathetic. There are some people with way too much time at their disposal.

    I read that earlier and it just made me want to throw stuff. And all I have in grabbing range is like... iPhone, mouse, removable hard drive... yeah, I am trying really, really hard not to do that.

    Well, if they need to step away and knowing they'll be back later, I can see why they wouldn't log out with the current queue situtation going on.

    Ah gotta love the interwebs, where you can get away with being a dick with little to no repercussion. I'd say more than 2/3 of those dicks wouldn't dare behave that way in their daily lives.

    Its because if we log off, we will be greeted by 8 hour que. Nothing sinister going on...just very poor planning on NCSoft part.

    Wow that's just plain bogus, good thing I don't care too much about the early access, but I feel for people that were counting on it....oh well. I kinda saw this coming with the content of the conversations I were forced to witness in region 1 chat a few days ago.......how I hate that I couldn't  /leavechannel..........

    I didn't see any of that going on so I don't think it is a wide spread situation. Probably just a couple idiots, or pos the OP is just trolling. Even the villages where most of the merchant shops are usually set up were not as heavy as in the betas. Most people seemed to be trying to level up as quickly as possible and also get their guilds set up.

    If NCsoft had any sense are all (however, proving they don't) ..  They'd disable the Player Character "shops"  for the first week or 2.  Hell, nobody has anything worth selling anyways at this point.  

    Can't blame them (NCSoft) really, they took an Asian game and moved it to a Western Audience, they just forgot to do their homework on the inherent stupidity, greed, and overall "dipshit-ness' of the western world.

    Very true. The really dangerous types tend to keep a low profile.

    That is a very good idea, imho.

    it is pretty brilliant, the logic in that no one will have anything worth selling is flawless.  I mean who really needs gear the first 20 lvls anyway. You can play them naked ...albeit with some difficulty

    And I dont think it need to be a week or more... just a couple of days. I am sure they are working in solutions for the queues (unless they are blind). This could help meantime.

    You get pretty much the same percentage of those in the rest of the world, as you see in the West.  Its an all too *human* trait, thats to be found in just about any on line community. Lets also not forget that ganking and griefing are more tolerated in Asia than they are in the west as well. Thats one of the reasons that so many Asian games don't do well in the west.
