I'd like to throw in my two cents, if I may.
If life was about living the longest, and knowing the person that was here first, then we're all losers or we're all winners - depending on how you look at it. It is therefore childish to equate longevity to self worth, especially in a game. What matters more is how you carry yourself. If you want to be an annoying little grief-er, go for it. I don't think anyone is hot-and-bothered by the dumb [censored] you say, but instead shocked by how dumb some people can be.
So, Willie, you probably have played this game for 10 years and are still the same terrible newb running around swinging your big sword, pretending to be hot [censored]. Thing is, no one cares, and no one knows who you are - save for a few unlucky souls. Unlucky to be associated with you, ashamed and embarrassed by you throwing a tantrum in the middle of what was supposed to be entertainment for us all.
So do us all a favor and stop being such an insecure little prick.
