There always will be crummy people that play CF, but it's just that with our tiny playerbase, 2 crummy people in your pk range can just take ALL of the fun out of logging in. Picture Fakefi logged in with a combination of Bok, Alzinghul (i liked you so no hard feelings) or Kjrorh in range. I have to run to water every 5 minutes so I don't get assassinated/looted/pwned, avoid running into an orc raping which spamming one west too many can mean death. Avoid the wilderness for fear of permalag bearcharge (and I had to choose one of my legacies to counter this - harmonious - which actually worked well to my surprise). This just isn't fun, so I took the alternative route. Just play and get smoked/looted/regear rinse-repeat for 150 hours. I had a couple small shining moments but in the end it wasn't enough to make it worthwhile.

I did get a kick out of making my role revolve around what an utter failure Fakefi was. Too bad I didn't get a chance to roleplay it out a bit more but nobody wants to hear a depressed self-pitying wood-elf on the Cabal channel lol.
