Almost every time I go on PS, I see groups of people standing somewhere out in the broad daylight of Hydlaa and talking. I, usually, have no problem with this. Sometimes, if I happen to be doing something near them, I'll stay and watch. I don't do it to eavesdrop or to be nosy, but just out of sheer curiosity.
Many times I'll see a newer player, or just another confused soul like myself, walk up to them and ask them what's going on. Said player is "chewed out" and asked to leave, sometimes not so nicely.
This is something I do not understand, and something I'd like to bring to everyone's attention. Why would people discussing such important, secretive topics hold their meetings on the street where eveyone is walking? First of all, it is very unrealistic. There are many private places (lakes, upstairs of taverns, tents, empty buildings, etc.) in which these meetings can be held, and many are actually implemented for such reasons. Second, even if you're in heated discussion and don't want to be disturbed, there's no reason to kick a curious newbie in the rear like they had some major offense.
And finally, why do people feel the need to have such cladenstine events in the open air? Is it to make them feel important, to gain attention to high-and-mighty? I'm not sure, but from what I gather that sounds like a valid idea.
