Why on earth is the MWO community so toxic?

Always telling people to "Git Gud" at the end of a match is a **** move.

[FupDup]

ggclose?

[Bishop Steiner]

If this is not a troll post, you really need to get a thicker skin, kid.

[Templar Dane]

Yeah because 'GG' stands for "git gud".

[Juodas Varnas]

"Git gud"?
Seriously?
GG means "good game"... It's basically shaking the opponents hand after the match

[Nathan Foxbane]

And here I thought I was saying "Good Game" and being a polite sportsman. *engage sarcasm mode* I shall never try to be polite in game again and try to live up to you expectations of toxicity OP. *disengage sarcasm mode*

Dude, you must've smoked some bad granola.

GG is only rude if you rofl stomped the enemy.

It means 'good game', a stomp isn't a good game. Therefore it is an insult.

[Twenty0ne]

Wow thanks for the update, from the moba I came from, git gud was much more common to hear.

Is slander reportable?

[LordKnightFandragon]

The only time i find GG annoying is when it clearly wasnt...

A 8-12 is atleast a decent game

0-12 in under 3 minutes?

3-12, 2-12? no, that is not a GG...

so I guess when I told people that after I beat them at football and soccer matches it was to insult them instead of sportsmanship?

This generation needs to man up and stop looking to be insulted, I swear.

slander would require me to name the TKer. Feeling a bit guilty?

But don't worry your little head too much. For the person in question, there were screenshots, and PGI already has them.

Come on folks. Twenty three other people took time out of their day to play with you for a few minutes. The least you can do is be polite and thank them when it's over. "good game" is polite.

Thus sayeth the cranky old man.

[Kiiyor]

Man, GG is about the least offensive thing that can happen in a game.

Some people may mean it as some sort of sarcastic insult, (ggclose is a different beast entirely) but I frame it in context of sportsmanship.

Any sporting event, even a humiliating defeat, will usually see all players shaking hands at the end of a match. They aren't trying to insult each other - they're being professional adults and acknowledging the superior conduct of their foe without being whiny little *******. It's rare you see soccer players whine at the goalie about not pushing. You don't see hockey players whining about the cowardice of their teammates. You don't see boxers accusing each other of hax after a knockout.

Nope, but overheat suiciding at the start is!

I dont know. Are you trying to give the real TwentyOne a bad name? The 0 in the name was clever but intentionally suiciding in game and shooting teammates in back doesn't bode well.
