May I rant about the community's competitive players behavior about pub stomping?

You cannot justify extending a PUB stomp by 20-30 minutes, because you feel victimize by the community and say "I never get to play with my friends"
All of you who wear "CLAN TAGS" - You represent the CORE of this game's success and you spit at its legacy with CHILDISH behavior.
This community is filled with generous gamers with compassion and not selfish mindsets.

Certain players have a fetish with going to green marked servers
(Yes, I know "this means nothing, green means nothing" but to a new player, it means everything.)
and stacking a team to mow down the hordes of rookies. Recently it has even gotten to the point of flat out trolling rookies, talking $#@% to them and about them and making them not enjoy the game at all.
Frankly, this behavior is sickening and isn't justifiable with "lolol drama, cool off" or any of that such.
My favorite argument has to be that "the playerbase is too small, uwe doesnt make MP balanced"
If you're going to !@#$% about the playerbase being too small, don't be the cause.
/RANT
I haven't made myself clear enough.
There is a mindset that you are victimized by your massive kdr/skill/knowledge of the game; the point i'm making is those who use excuses to make RIDICULOUSLY long pub stomp after typical pub stomps, and use, "Because of my skill, the community requires me NOT to have fun because I'm not playing with my friends now" is a very weak and childish excuse for you to HAVE to play with the BEST PLAYERS, whom are your steam friends, whom know your smurf name, who after round and round always stack because - well, I'm selfish, I have 1000 hours but I dont get to play with my friends.
That mentality is what is killing this game.
my name means deceit - and created wayyy before that awful GZ case. You validate my point.
Or at least that's the same shit that gets thrown out every time. How about we just face the fact some people like to stomp and nothing will be done about it. All you can do is drop and join one of the many servers with active admins or high level players that will try and balance teams. The new player experience is a glaring weak spot in this game, but servers like the Rookie Only server at least give them a fighting chance. All the "how to NS2" video's in the world won't help a green player against a stacked high skill team.
"this is killing the game!!! hyurr" Without any actual Logic or backup proof to it. kthxbai.
Can you blame them for wanting to have fun despite being woefully outclassed as players?
It's annoying but fun to com noobs but as we played I noticed a fade decimating the ranks. Some complaints at this point, but he hadn't done much so I was in the AuroN2 camp. This was ok for a few games.
Later, mineshaft I noticed his k/d. 142 kills. 2 deaths. Quite frankly I am surprised we all stayed, one of those deaths was me hopping out with a dropped shotgun and pulse nade telling someone else to hop in "and rain healfire on me".
Even that might have been fine, but he didn't ever say anything. No talk, no "try using a shotgun" just kills.
I hope it was fun for him
I guess when an NFL pro team plays against a Jr HS football team and crushes them I won't blame the Packers either.
I already used the "we made this thread six times image" but just imagine its right here.
And (more on topic because of the title) how competitive players should be the forefront of keeping sportsmanship alive because when they join games with their friends, they greatly affect pub games- And when everyone is back in ReadyRoom, of course there are complaints, but the responses, all i hear is selfish excuses.
That's after some people put many hours into a game for the FUN aspect.
a pro nfl team has competition to face against
these threads can stop, the game doesn't have the playercount so that these 'better' players have other 'better' players to play against, make a valiant effort to get good players against one another and just play out the match and have fun or whatever; if losing makes you upset then practice and get better
Then you are just saying that the community sucks and have no real sportsmanship or respect for their fellow gamer. The tide could turn to the effect that all servers kick anyone getting close to a "l337" score and removing said solid waste matter of a player and replace them with someone with more compassion for the better of the group and not their own selfish idealogy that the better of the group must serve the few and frankly, sorry lot of disrespectful saps iv'e ever played with, and one of the reasons i decline any form of competitive invite. The apathy towards ever coming to terms that maybe the main (pre-release) crowd could be more of an active role than "Oh here we go again..."
The game's fine as it is, however, UWE needs to put some serious work into the skill rating system.
Yeah because the NFL pro team had no other options?
I've learned a lot from playing with comp players. Every single one I've played with has a great attitude and doesn't mind helping out new players, in pubs or in pugs. Maybe you could give them a chance and talk to them or play a few pugs with them before saying they are all "dissrepectful saps."
I'm not concerned about losing the $6 steam sale wow player getting stomped and quitting an hour later. I'm concerned about losing the competent FPS player that can't experience how amazing the asymetrical gameplay can be because it's near impossible to achieve in a pub, so they move on.
Please stop being so short-sighted with the "that guy is 40-2, it must be all his fault" bullshit threads. It's been done before.
It's when the 2 good players both keep joining the same team that games start to turn into pubstomps.
"stop preventing us from playing with our friends"
Some of these "pro" players are so good they can often unbalance an entire server alone, yet they think it's cool to toss out insults when the inevitable complaints occur.
Decent "pro" players will laugh and/or apologize, often even giving out tips to help the other team do better. They usually switch teams in between games, and sometimes even comm in an effort to keep it fun for everyone. - You can't blame them for being good either, they deserve to play as much as we do..
On the other hand, I see too many "pro" players who immediately respond with insults, trash talking, profanity, etc. They always pick the same team, never comm, insult their own team if they aren't good enough, etc. - There is really no need for such uncivilized childish behavior. It only serves to drive players away from the game. (Especially new players)
Stay on topic people. I am talking about when its 3/4 SAME competitive people "wanting to play with friends"
@PaLaGi
I find it hilarious you say you hardly play and yet you are the 40-2 people, and it's because of incompetence and lack of teamwork.
If you say that your game time in NS2 is not worth the effort of your own fun, a main aspect of gaming, how do you think those $6 sale wow players learn off the typical endless stomp, you have no say to come "back" to NS2 and say my complaint is not rampant about ALL of gaming.
I expected SOO much more from NS2 & its community, thats why I bought into Alpha.
This is such a terrible response.
I wear a "clan tag", even though there is no real clan and I have never seen any of my friends play this game. I am also far from good aim.
Your argument is invalid.
I'm a damn believer of a good fight. My brother and I NEVER get to play together on ANY damn team games together. We are the elite gamers of our gamer friends group (It runs in our blood). When we do even play games together, it's two player cooperative [yea portal]. So LANs - You know, what, It sucks sacrificing not playing with my friend. We've learned that good games come from good competition. I'm sure you competitive players know what I'm talking about. SO pretty much every gathering of our friends group consists of my brother and I, my wingman and my backup (givemethatmag,heretakethisnade) ALWAYS PLAYING OPPOSITE TEAMS - I love my brother, but the camaraderie and desire to inspire my team to shatter my best friend....capture that flag; pick off power; choose the wrong path, know there is a grin on the other side of that com link - matches even the first time installing this game
& then I hear pathetic excuses from some of you lot - after 3...4 rounds/1.5hours of poor gameplay...
I never get to play with my "best friend" and you know what, my brother and I scream and shout more because there's nothing like a good fight.
