>what do they mean by this?
I guess back then people cared more about the world and less about the players

I don't think text is as powerful as Bartle thinks because the conventional rules of language can be broken when words get sucked up into nonverbal communication

or in other words language can be deceiving if you are not paying attention

language in general is about dissociation while what the guy in red is doing is called association (nonverbal communication)
the guy overcompensates from being pked as a noob since he couldn't read the underlying cues of their real intentions
I think they both overcompensate in their own way but whatever

the cue is that these pkers talk too much and avoid nonverbal communication that would betray their intentions
they are not capable of hiding their true intentions though because they display compensatory behaviour
in their cases I would assume being bad at pking and having to deceive a noob through language to get a PK
they are not good at language use since they aren't socializers which would be another sign of betrayal

it is probably possible to shift the dynamics of language into association but I wonder why you would wanna do that
