The most enervating discourtesy is writing nonsensical "gl hf gg" during, after, or before the match. People should actually bother and transcribe their ideas following all grammar rules.

I prefer random comments to standardized ones.

BL/DIAF is nice, for example. Bad Luck, Die In A Fire.

MS, WP! I'm not going to tell you what that means, as it's a personal joke that would be offensive to most, but is highly amusing to me.

I usually suggest we all leave our mechs and have a snowman building competition to settle the fight in Frozen City.

Too bad that can't work. Would be worth it for the one time your mech comes stomping up and the enemy is all standing there outside their mechs waiting like nice, defenseless targets. :(

had one match where someone made some comment something like "ok kids don't get cocky."

the next couple of minutes were then spent spamming star wars quotes at each other until we got interupted by actually running into each other. stupid mech fighting interrupting quality star wars time.... :(

If even a 10th of these "gl hf" idiots put the same effort to tactically communicate with their team DURING the match, this game would be so much better off.

I don't communicate with people who are too lazy or too l33t to answer my "gl, hf".

If you want rainbows and sunshine go play some other game. Maybe we need to start a movement where gl/hf dopes get an alpha to the face.

i like to say GG or good fight when i had fun and game was really interesting on i had nice fight with somebody or even i dont mind saying nice shot if he/she cores me nicely :(.
But i definitly dont type it like mandatory on every game and so on. It just based on personal fun factor.
I find it funny when winning team roflstomping other one 8 to 0 say gg, its ok when loosing team had at least fun trying to survive and didnt kill anybody but they say gg but not the other way around thats little bit rude:P.

In some 8-0 match the losing team actually put out a good fight at the start, but then someone made mistake, and thing turns very bad, but it is a good fight nevertheless.

I only use the chat to shout abuse and watch people get angry. It's even funnier when I have actually failed horribly myself but they still take the bait.

I find the current state of the in game chat to be a disgrace. It should be removed until such a time that people learn to respect each other. One of the biggest gripes I have about this game are the 13-year olds who can't play the game properly and instead resort to insulting other people.

Geeze...get over it... This is a game for a built in TEAM CHAT...just like Chromehounds and the XBOX...On that venue...you could talk to both your team and the whole match...

Frankly...I do not waste time typing...because the da mn keyboard is mapped to the fricking game and is so complex I have other things I am focusing upon...

I rather be silent than complaining about pugs inability to pilot in terms of " GO UNINSTALL YOUR GAME " or " Your piloting is bad, you should feel bad "

I generally type something nonsensical or funny.

For instance.

Is it considered a dwi if your driving a giant stompy robot.

I shouldn't have eaten mexican last night is there an exhaust switch in here?

Man atlai have a sexy waddle. Etc etc etc.

I see most answers here and my mind and soul is bleeding. Pointless to be cordial and respectfull? Uau, i mean uau, when i write something i mean it and i always write something, might it be a cordial lore challenge to steiners or Dracs (which most people that use faction symbols dont even know the meaning, another source of sadness) when i actually see a reply in also cordial challenge it brightens my day and reminds me of a better community from other times.
