The point where they feel like they have to pick physical fights with me to prove how masculine they are.
Fortunately, there are some additions planned for 3.3 to help with this side of things, I think.
Because, seriously, some people...
Auric shielding will help with people of this ilk sending "bad vibes" your way, either consciously or subconsciously, and trying to influence your progress negatively through such. It won't stop some moron from trying to pick a fight, though. But, like I said, I remember Shannon having something planned for 3.3 to help with this.
Since you can feel other people's negativity, you will be warned when the physical fight is coming. Does that mean that the user is better off without the auric shield? Does the auric shield influence people from having negative thoughts or feelings about you or does it just prevent you from feeling their negativity?
Hmm.
I was wondering about the same thing, actually, and considered it a potential loophole for one's subconscious to try and resist the auric shielding. But - I highly doubt it would make one oblivious to danger. Especially remembering my experiences back on DMSI ver 3.1, which had the auric shielding turned on; if my subconscious decided to tell me/warn me of something (like, f. in., "this and this person is trying to bamboozle me", or "this person is very, very angry right now", or "this person is lying to my face"), then it did do so when necessary.
In other words - auric shielding does not make you blind to potential sources of danger, but simply protects one's aura from barrages of negative energies being sent by others your way.
It also doesn't prevent others from being negative towards you (I mean, it's their choice to be so) - it just makes it much, much more bearable for the user.
