Just to ask, how is the gamers and collectors community in Malaysia?
Have you guys meet any other collectors to share and discuss about loots? Not from bragging/showoff stand point of view, but just meeting ppl with similar interest. The "hey there, I saw you are collecting that too.. do you play this game too.. etc etc)
I have some good and bad experience on this. Some I meet was extremely friendly, the usual gamer collector who are often shy, soft spoken, easy to talk to without much drama, simple ppl you wont mind having talking more about gaming and to share some good and bad experience in collection and share a few laughs with. Ppl you know if you killed them in friendly match, they wont hold grudges and can still laugh together. Ppl which you can also sometime just give them a collector's edition as a present for free because you know this guy likes it so much, ahh might as well. (really close ones)
Then I have the second type who are, unfortunately the jelly ego type. Can be 2 category, one that has less gaming/collection progression than you, and the other type that has more gaming/collection progression than you. Regardless its lesser, same or more than you, you can always rest assure these ppl has immerse competitive ego driven agendas. Whether it is to throw a few cheap low jabs onto you, or to start creating some people dramas. Even when losing to you in a simple casual gaming, is going to kill their pride. Worst, bring the gaming drama into real life.
More than 18 years in the gaming community, include the extreme arcade and gaming competition environment (as both participant and observant) I have already quitted the competition approach in gaming and even has reduced down my collection (I am retired casual gamer la

).
lol what about those who can't take humor and treats everything so seriously? What happen lAh? I met a few and played with plenty. Some ppl just take their craft seriously so maybe perceive as jealous. Some ppl maybe more talkative. Are you saying only usual shy ppl are friendly?
Relax bro. Is only a hobby / game / collection community. If ppl share let them share. If ppl brag let them brag. No one forcing anyone to do this. This is a forum after all.
