Some Players Bullied This Moth [Sky: Children of the Light]

[@mothnomnom]

I feel so sad for the moth. It's so upsetting that toxic players are starting to discover this peaceful game. I hope that the moth won't stop playing just because of what happened, and be able to meet awesome people to play with them. I'd love to guide them in the game - from teaching them the basics and even take them to collect candles so they can buy very cool cosmetics from TS, and from active seasons.

[@blank_nebula8440]

Ikr!!! I love to guide them and most of my sky friends are moths! It's so fun to have them join me out of nowhere and instantly get distracted by their surroundings, hahah. Just yesterday I had to help _4_ moths with the guitar walk spirit in wasteland. But I didn't mind! It was funny and although it took a couple tries, we got it!! I can't imagine people bullying poor moffs:( When I first started this game,,, about 2? years ago, it was really difficult to find anybody who knew what they were doing and were actually willing to help me. Eventually I just grouped with other moths and we figured out the game together, it was fun. Sadly none of my first friends have been active in so long:") But anyways, Moths definitely should be protected at all costs. I love this game and I really hope I can get others to enjoy it too rather then toxic players driving them away

I also got a bad experience when I was a moth. I was doing a carry light..trying to relieve a spirit at the valley when a group of rude peps took the light away from me and far from the spirit I was trying to collect.

Actually everyone was a moth when they just started to play the game. Every veteran came from a moth, no exception. That moth is bullied just cuz he started to play the game months later than those veterans, and that’s unreasonable. Hope those toxic players will never appear. Edit: I heard that some players are even worse, they cheat moths to do wrong things in game , eg. “If u get hit by krills for 100 times, u can get the wasteland elder hair” (WTH logic is this) Again, hope those toxic players will never appear.

[@skye387]

I remember the hacker incident too. I always thought it's weird to want cosmetics using such means, because there's no effort in it so it doesn't gives off a satisfaction feeling of having it. The cosmetics are pretty much useless too aside for looks and effects.

To get the Golden Wasteland elder hair, u need to buy everything from all those wasteland spirits, then buy it at the Eye of Eden.

As a veteran player, I find the actions and behavior of fellow veterans appalling. Moths are the future of Sky. All these cranky, gate keeping vets will one day leave, and if they have driven away players with their nasty attitudes, who's going to be left to help Sky carry on? Some people honestly need a head check.

[@Cherry-db8yx]

Well said!

[@pippinnai9443]

Tbh I don’t think there are actual veterans cause this is not gatekeeping. This is more the behavior of newish players that have somehow got the wrong idea of the game (all about cosmetics and whatnot). I’ve been playing since 2020 and never encountered such a thing until recently really. It is sad 😭

[@viatikku1110]

WTH- This is the first time I've heard of someone acting like this. If I don’t really want to communicate, then I just avoid people or show it with actions (bow down, refuse and move away), this isation or acceptance of friendsh usually used to politely decline communicip. I have a friend who doesn't like newcomers, but he just keeps his distance from them. But never - offends or somehow mocks. And I know that he will not do this, even if he really wants to. The people this player is talking about seem terrible to me. Showing off your clothing collection is fine, but not when you start bulling someone over it. P.S. I can be wrong about something while writing this comment, it’s hard to say something wrong, it’s hard for me to speak correctly through a translator. It is very sad that there are such instances of players in the Sky community.

[@abigailher9386]

Everything you wrote here is correct, so no worries. I can relate to your friend, who doesn’t like newcomer. Whenever I see a new player I just bow and go off, but I don’t look down on them for looking boring and plain-and I don’t want the new player having a bad impression of the game. I really want to help new players in Sky, but I had bad experiences with two of them. That’s why I’m distance with new players.

[@mxkari]

Agreed. Cosmetics are ok to flex if the other people are fine with it, but not when you start bullying someone over it..

[@Pobblí-v3w]

There will be ALL types of different behaviors of people when it comes to online community games. Doesn’t matter if a moth, veteran, or are in-between. This game is no exception. Yes. I was a moth. I’ve seen situations like these happen multiple times to me and other players; most being trivial to me. The best I and you can do is avoid these players and if these escalate badly; of course; do report to us good veterans and TGC. The happiest I can do with others is emote spam dances, lay down, and join in music that in the appropriate moments where they may want to play with me. Close observation and Open communication is key too. 😊

[@winters_angel]

@@abigailher9386 You don't have to like every player or interact with people if you don't want to but disliking a player just because they're new is a very prejudice mentality. What's wrong with a new player joining the game? At some point everyone was new and starting out for the first time. New players joining is also how the game grows.

[@thatskyworld]

I also found a moth that he always get rejected to add friends and always heartbroken he doesn't know all and they laugh at him cause he doesn't know how to fly, after that I went to cheer him up cause I felt so bad he only have the free hairstyles and even said how to get hearts. And what they said is, "buy your own heart stupid moth haha" And we got away onto a safe place to talk.

I hope this moth continues playing Sky. There are only a few toxic players in Sky, but majority of players are nice. The cosmetics the veteran said they won’t get, is a lie. If they continue to get cosmetics from traveling spirits they should be fine as long as they like the cosmetics. But there expensive, so be careful. Traveling spirits come around again, but it’s going to take a while before they come again. The only cosmetic the can not get are ultimate gifts. After watching this, it’s hard for me to realize I was also a moth once. Whenever I see my Sky kid dress in moth attire on the loading screen before I actually log in sky, brings back memories of my moth days. But not that much players helped me in my moth days, maybe that’s why I’m so distance with new players. What can also help them is to watch some KZbin video on Sky/how the game works: Nastymold and Noob Mode are really good channels to start out. Good luck, little moth!!!

Moths are precious. They are new to the game, and we want them to have the best experience. I always try to help a moth when they need it. I once helped a moth through the entire game, got them to all the spirits, and it was so much fun. I showed them all the secret areas and wl. We chatted the entire time and got to know each other pretty well, and now they’re a good friend of mine! We play with each other often.

[@dannx_]

It can't be, I also had a bad experience when I started playing. I discovered the option to ask for help to look for the spirits, so they took me by the hand but left me among the krills and I lost my wings, I am very sensitive to sounds, Sky has been a perfect place to relax because there are no loud sounds, but that day I did want to cry after that. 💔 Now I have about 8 months playing, but I remain a solo player, and I love to help moths or another players.

The fact that my expressions became totally serious watching and reading this video, this became a very serious and important matter. There was no reason for them to behave so meanly, it’s basic etiquette to be gentle with anyone who is not close to you. All human beings have feelings, our Sky Kids represent us in the game, and behind them there are real humans and it’s not fair to treat us badly. I hope the little moth keeps playing, Sky is very beautiful, enjoying the experience of playing it’s better than getting people.

[@pippinnai9443]

I’ve encountered a couple of players like this. What I noticed they had in common was that they weren’t even real vets (don’t get triggered ppl) and what I mean by this is that they’ve been collecting cosmetics for the few months they’ve been playing but that’s it. It is sad because Sky has such a lovely story and values. It is a beautiful game and has sooooo much to it and these ppl are just playing it for the social and cosmetics part which is only a small part of it. Like having more cosmetics will make them more than the rest or so. I’m really sorry this moth had to go through this. I’m a solo player but I help moths whenever I can and it makes me happy to see moths, like in a very endearing way. I hope this didn’t ruin the game for this moth 😭

[@pastsunset]

This is so disheartening. I didn't have the best experience starting out on Sky either, with people laughing at me and refusing help. I planned on never playing again, but a friend I met through one of TGC's other games encouraged me to retry it so I did and then I got to experience the true meaning of the game. This game is not about the cosmetics, it's about friendship and kindness. I can't believe vets behave like this, as if they never started out as a moth. For every 1 person that acts this way, there's about 100+ others that will go out of there way to help new players, myself included. These types of players that bully are rare, but they do exist unfortunately. Do not let them discourage you from playing, there are so many lovely experiences to be had with the right people, I promise you!

@@hino000 Moth us an affectionate term we give for new players. Moths are special because once you play the game and know stuff and aren't in moth attire anymore, you can't really relive those day except by helping other moths. Veteran simply means a player has been around like a year or something and has lots of memories and fun stories to tell! Great tricks to try, knows of fun places to go... Just an experienced player. We don't have a social hierarchy. At least normal people don't fall into it. I look at all players like this: If someone has 11 wedges, they have probably been around a long time, and will be more likely to want to be dragged during a candle run. A moth may want to be dragged too because they don't understand what to do. Someone at 7 wedges is confident, still has energy, and may lead.

I’m disgusted that there are players who think it’s ok to treat a new player like this, to bully them for not having the cosmetics they do, and for not know game machines as well as them. We all start some where and those bullies were once moths themselves and should know better especially as fellow veterans.

[@amnachennattu8408]

This is very sad once I saw ppl who where protesting for tgc to let them say inappropriate jokes with boats it is very sad how our non toxic community is slowly becomming like every other toxic game.

[@seas0nal_sky]

It won’t be if we make the change now.

[@bonkchoy6881]

Yeah ): I play ML and almost everybody there is toxic and blame everyone but themselves when dying or losing. I've played thousands of matches there and so far have only seen less than 10 people who are actually nice. and I don't want Sky to lose it's wholesome community and become toxic like other game communities. It is such a comfort zone for me

[@camelliacutie]

Aww you are so sweet to chat with the moth and console them. I had the misfortune of meeting a mean player when I was a moth too. It was my first time in Crab Fields/Shipwreck and I was in the ship. I ended up getting krilled since I couldn't see where the krill was as I was flying out of the ship. It was my first time getting krilled, so I was a bit scared/disappointed at losing my WL. A player literally befriended me just to tell me that "I'm stupid for getting hit by the dragon." I was taken aback by that rude statement. Once I made it to the home space again, I immediately blocked them. Luckily, that experience wasn't enough to stop me from playing the game.

[@gammaray1583]

A game about kindness and friendship, and there are still toxic players like this. I mean it’s to be expected online, but this community is so wholesome a lot of the time, and I just don’t understand what you get from bullying another player. You were like them at one point. Smh. I hope they don’t quit and give other players a chance.

[@candicraveingcloude2822]

Sky is a social MMO, adventure, dress-up portmanteau, yet somehow hasn't completely gone down the path of toxic vanitity. Videos like this serve as a reminder that at the end of the day, Sky is like any online game community marketed towards all ages, the more people who join it, the more toxic people join it, and thus the more toxic it will become. As PC gets closer and closer to release and a new friendship emote that allows carrying another person bridal style, comes with the 3rd collaboration season coming up, there is a guarantee that more toxic players and more people unintentionally doing toxic things will show up. It is our responsibility to minimize toxic and harmful actions while promoting good and kind ones. Some things we can do include: Dealing with dating platform misinterpretations -When making tiktok couple edits only actual couples that know each other outside sky should post them, and putting an accessible disclaimer in the video, the caption, description, and comments, that the people making this are a couple but that this is not a dating platform but is a game for all ages -Correcting players that think it's for dating, and politely telling them that this is not a game meant for dating, due to the vast age ranges you will see here -Reporting players for harassment if they repeatedly perform this behaviour of flirting if able to (Sky is a game where one can only report players if lit) -providing support for those who have experienced unwanted behaviour of such type -Not doing such negative actions ourselves, as well as condemning them Dealing with bullying -Call it what it is. They didn't just "bully another player" they insulted the outfit of a player, they gossiped about them behind their back, they verbally assaulted another player, they led a krill to another player with the intention of killing or seriously harming another players progress, they did something discriminatory, etc. but bullying is too vague of a phrase use -Report another player if they are doing these actions and you are able to light them -Provide support to another player who has experienced this stuff themselves, -help any player confused on certain things -not doing negative actions ourselves, and condemning them If you are a victim of these actions -tell them to stop doing it if able to and explain why this action is bad or harmful, if this is a person doing this unintentionally -Report the person if you're able to light them -if worse comes to worse, remember you can leave the situation, to do this you can: >go to home aviary village, or another location in the game, >Use airplane mode to force a server change, and you'll be in a different server, hopefully away from the people performing these actions, do this if not in a dangerous area >close the game for a few minutes and relaunch it afterward -find someone who will support you, as these situations can have lasting effects on you -any combination of any of the above actions While us as an individual may not be able to do much, we are all part of a bigger community and if we all play our part, we all make it better.

[@aiza_zest0952]

I can't relate to this since I haven't experienced any of this (yet) and I was adopted by Tons of vet on my moth days. I just hope for the moth to recover from that cyber bullying and one day, that moth will show them thay they're better than those stinky toxic players and will get all the cosmetics.!

[@DivineDefect]

It's true, the toxic players are taking over. I started during Season of Enchantment, on that first day I met a 1 month old player who helped me through the entire game day by day despite timezone differences. Then I met some really friendly veterans who taught me about candle running and oobs... I quit Sky later on as all my friends had left and candle running had drained me. Recently, I decided to start a new playthrough to see how the moth experience is nowadays. It's confusing, nobody wants to help you, practically EVERYONE declines you when you offer a candle to them. Many find moths to be annoying, i've always loved helping moffies and are patient with them. I wish I could talk to the players to hurt this moff and put on all my best cosmetics and ultimate gifts, saying they'll never get them because they played too late and are useless to me.

[@seas0nal_sky]

We can stop the toxicity. It hasn’t taken over.

[@anavia5074]

Sky community as a game is the most peaceful that ive encountered, for now. Its one of my comfort game. Even tho cr gets boring sometime, i will never quit this game. Personally i feel that this game and its community is something special among all games fandom. hope it doesn't get ruin by toxic people when the fandom gets bigger. The way vet players treat their moth players is very adorable and wholesome. I hope that moth found kindhearted senpais and fellow moths 🤭

[@phungkim395]

Poor moth, they're just new and already get bullied, it could make them have wrong view of the game point Ú-Ù Buddy instead of bully !

[@eden.garden]

I'm forever glad that I didn't have a bad experience as a moth. I was adopted by a lovely player about 2 weeks into the game, who taught me basically everything I know

[@rinkume165]

I remember that when I was a new player,when there's season of santcuary,I met somebody. She guided me to every places in sky, and she's friendly! But... Now she suddenly left sky. Because she always met at toxic people and laughing at her because she's a noob. She also don't have time to play sky because she needs to work at office. Im very sad. I hope that toxic people's get banned at sky >:( it's very sad to lose my friend 😔

[@Do_Re_Midi]

I recently found out about this game because of the beautiful graphics. I started playing a little ago and even though I have a hard time talking with people, the few I've met have been nothing but sweet! One person even helped me in the eye of eden. It's sucks that this person's first experience was with bullies. Everyone was a beginner at some point and from what I've heard, this game is built on making friends and cooperation. Luckily, once they block them they most likely will never see those bullies again

[@NanaVaruna]

What do the bully mean by useless?! Aren't them use to be moth, only have brown/yellow cape, less cosmetic, and only have 2 star at the back? Everyone literally start from he bottom at the sky. Do they expect new player who's still new to this game suddenly have all the new cosmetic?! I hope that poor moth will still continue playing this game. That moth also will probably being a Ikeman/Ikejou and have more cool cosmetic than the bully anyway. Protect moth from toxic player!!

[@asifkhodu4543]

When i was a moth a year ago, a veteran showed the disgust emote to me at prairie lobby when they light me. When they lighted up the sky kids with cool cosmetics, they started spamming kiss emote. That day, it really made me sad because i only wanted to hang out with strangers. The worst veteran i have ever met. But not long after that I saw a chibi with brown cape and basic hair no. 3 playing piano at wasteland lobby. I added him, and he turned out to be an enchantment veteran. He told about his journey in sky and gladly showed me his cosmetics since i asked. He loves dressing up his sky kids uniquely too! He would come to me a lot of time and hang out together with me after our first meeting 🥺 The best veteran i have ever met! Now i also have lots of new player friends and we hang out together

[@Ivi_vivivivivi]

Poor moth 😢 Those veterans must be gone, so rude, they thought he was stupid

[@rubyros-cy5rx]

I also got bullied by a vet back when I was a moth. They just left me in GW at the shipreck and gone and sometimes laugh at me whenever I follow them. After that, I step my self up and discover this game on my own. Now I manage to see one and only moth that is active grow up even though we never play anymore due to language differences.

[@thatskyworld]

Sky needs more kindness for this moth

[@moonlightfox6384]

I've been bullied once when i was a starter moth and they're mocking me using the emotes, i feel traumatized at first haha but in the end, i've met kind moths and make them as my friend in game

[@Madeoftea]

I just want to hug this wiggle moff and squeeze it’s insides all happy. 🥰

[@tosyaz]

I also had the bad experience when I was a moth. It was my second or third day in game. I joined to players on the table and I asked some questions about this game, kinda what should I do here. Those two guys started laughing about how stupid I am, because this game is simple. I said that I just wanted to ask, and then one of them asked about where am I from. And the worst part for me. They said that I'm a poor Russian, I shouldn't play this game because I'm Russian and other rude things about my nationality I just went away. Fortunately I have never met such people after And at the same day I met a person, who showed me all the world of sky, even an Eden. He is still like my bf and teacher after months 😆

this made me to take more care to every moth i will meet... and also be kind to others ♥♥♥

I chased someone to light eachother’s candle, and then he and I started to talk, he said some bad things that really hurt. I was like “Hi! I’m catpop! U are? :D?” And then they said “I don’t give a sh catpop” and that honestly made me feel like he didn’t care. Then he started to ask how old I am, which made me uncomfortable, where I from, (as in what state) and then when I said I don’t fell comfortable saying they were like “oh. That’s okay :) but your honestly a *(n word)*. And started saying more slurs after that. I was at my limit. I left, saying goodbye and then I vented to my sky friend about it and that made me feel better. I’m so glad there are very few of those players, but that was just my bad luck. I’m so sorry for that new player, they didn’t deserve to be treated like that and neither did I. Edit: I don’t know how to block people :(

[@unknownnew8990]

[@cora5475]

okay when I was a new player in this game I also experienced the same thing and when I became a veteran I also still see the same thing I can't do anything because I'm afraid of making the situation worse, so after the toxic player leaves, I will definitely approach the bullying victim and chat with them, give them a heart and give them a motivation. I hope nothing like this happens again so that we can create a non-toxic fandom so this game is saved for minors

[@Hugo-uj1sv]

You should honk at the bully. It is good to help after, but it is also not good to be a bystander during a time of injustice

Those guys didn't learn anything from Sky if they really think cosmetic is what matters. Well, you can give a plant good trellis, but if the plant is rotten, no trellis can help it.

Only I have met toxic players, small in age and immature, feeling their inviolability and impunity, they think that they can write whatever they want. So she was called by her friends to laugh and discuss it. I'm an old player, most people call me a veteran, although I don't think so, I've only been playing for 4 years. It's very sad.

[@yami_yaniie]

As a care taker of moths and almost a sky veteran, I'm fairly disappointed to these some players who've making fun of the new moths. I felt really bad for the moth. He shouldn't treated in that way... I experienced back in the days we're some people I have met on Sky are pretty mean during my moth days and the thing is that most of the people I have met are veterans. But I'm still never let myself down for that. Veterans are the one who will treated them very nicely and help guiding for them, not just to bully and harrasing them if they were a hacker or just making fun of them how they wears. Remember, we all started as a moth, everyone was a moth. Sky is a place where everyone can have fun, explore, team up, and share thier own loveable feelings for there loveable friends around online. But this kind of situation are not acceptable for this game. I'm very glad that you helped and listen to thier voices from what of thier experience.💖

I still get the odd player who chooses not to help me and others open a 4 person door. Instead they just glitch through and carry on. I find those kinds of players very discouraging, but even so, if I've done that task already but I see someone needs help, I go out of my way to help them. It only takes a second and the reward is bliss.

I’m reading the comments and I feel very bad for some players when they were moths, including the person in this video. We should take care of moths and make them feel welcome, we all were new at one point! Fortunately, when I was a moth, a veteran player helped me to relive spirits and showed me the way around the realms. Now I like to help moths navigate the areas and enjoy playing with people.

[@VentiCappuccino]

That's so mean I really hope they don't stop playing cause of that. And I hope if they do continue to play that they find many amazing people in the game. I've been playing for almost a year now and I've never seen anything like that it makes me sad cause I guide moths all the time and I really enjoy watching them collect spirits or winged light. I really hope that nobody has to go thru that at all and that we don't stray from being the caring community we have been so far.
