It is more taking the time people put into the game seriously rather than the game itself. I know that is pulling hairs, but bear with me here.
I don't take the game too seriously, i mean fluff, i run a landfarm on 2 of the solo servers. I do however take my interactions with the other players seriously. As in I expect atleast a modicum of honestly and the lack of assumption that I'm a fool who can't read a spy op. That is insulting. It is past the game at that point.
I have said numerous times I'm not threatening to kill his next main over him blocking my tech, it is him attempting to play me for a fool like I don't know any better and lying about it. That has nothing to do with this game in perticular. If he did this in some other game I don't play I would react the same. Maybe I have too high of stantards. I'll troll and berate at times, but I'm not full of fluff. I don't see a reason to lie about a game like this. Ironically because it isn't that serious.
As for others taking the game too seriously, I would hope that when someone dedicates 2 months to something, they atleast take it semi-seriously. A goal is a goal, regardless of if it is a game or something else. Why dedicate your time to something you don't really care about? If you are going to do something then do it. If you don't really care then don't fluff with the people who do. That is a recipe for conflict. The ones who don't are the suiciders and asshole grabbers that create problems. The ones who create conflict. You have quite a few of them over there.
If you spent 8 weeks on a 10,000 piece puzzle and someone just walked in and tried to fluff it all up intentionally, I'm willing to bet you would be taking that puzzle seriously. It has less to do with the task itself, and more to do with the interaction with others involved in the same task. Some think respect is deserved, others don't give a fluff. Clashes are bound to occur, and that is part of the entertaient.
