Some times, yes...for example there was a thread last night where a guy was complaining his basic human rights were being violated because his account got banned for advertising a game on another games forums.....his basic human rights.....
That is a first world problem and he is being an idiot trying to use that "term" to make his little insignificant issue a big deal.

Yeah, I am inclined to agree with this example, but it is rather an extreme example. As someone said above (Sov) the phrase is overused and often in the wrong context.

It's fairly obvious what guides such conversations and the parties that have them. HE who likes the game vs he who dislikes the game...

So is just about every phrase when it comes to games, gamers and twisting things to get what they want....look at pay to win. That pretty much means it cost money, now.
The phrase "First world problems" makes no sense. I only see it used by US players, rarely by European players, and it is quickly a disappearing saying, because the reality is that many MMO players from the West are poor.
There is an increase in MMO players from southern Europe, because there is 60% unemployment amongst younger people in Spain, Greece, Italy etc. And 20-25% unemployment overall.
Greece (first world), 25% live below the poverty line:
South Korea (third world), 3% live below poverty line.

Greece should never have entered the common currency. there were certain goals that needed to be achieved in order to enter, and in times of boom these were tweaked to allow entry of economies that really did not belong there.
In the UK, under Thatcher's government we had a pro-EU chancellor. He basically set his economic policy to match that of Europe (well Germany) and the result was that the early 90's recession was far longer and harder than it should have been. This is part of the reason why there is such anti-EU sentiment in the UK.
A trade pact is one thing, but a common currency which prevents struggling economies devaluing their currency to assist exports (amongst other economic tools) is ridiculous in such disparate economies as those in Europe.
I thought you were going to talk about game discussion phrases but you are talking about people and their idk what to even call it.
One thing i can tell you is that you get all walks of people in all walks of life,not worth the effort to try and figure out their mindset although being of much older age i can usually read people like a glove.
If you want to feel better,just drop into ANY Twitch chat and you will soon see a myriad of immature 14-18 year old males.Seems to me the female populace is a lot more closer to the mature level.You ever see little children of age 4-7 ,they hear something then they repeat it over and over,that is Twitch chat.
You can come to mmorpg.com and honestly find more maturity and less stress than many other places.How about You Tube,you say you don't like a particular band and you get death threats and swearing and everything else that goes with it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Very true. I was just provoking a little discussion about some pet peeves of mine.
How sad are these forums when such an obvious joke post gets removed and you get a warning...

They are worse than useless because you want to believe them. They will defend you against critiques that are valid.

JJ82's post was removed but was subsequently quoted by Kyleran. I don't know how you missed that. Did the OP report perhaps and had it removed and JJ82 warned. It was clearly a joke.

I did not report anything. I have never reported anything.

As much as I like you, what the fuck are you on about?
I see it and I just stepped into the conversation. How can you not see it?
ok, at least it is a fun troll.
Ok sorry, JJ82 made a funny response (and the only sensible one) to my post. WOW this got deleted? It was a JOKE. Hang on it was 'satire without intent'.

But yes, Greece suffered for it and continues to.
"learn to play" is the number one one for me. It is used to justify all kinds of bad design in games.
Trite - (of a remark, opinion or idea) overused and consequently of little import, lacking originality or freshness.
