I never experienced the goons' antics in-game, but I've played with one of them a bit recently. I can tell you that the reports of their being jerks are grossly exaggerated (mostly anyway ). As I understand it, they had a particular agenda that didn't necessarily revolve around griefing per se, but more toward highlighting flaws in the game in hopes they would be addressed. I don't necessarily agree with their tactics, and they perhaps took a bit more pleasure in it than they should have, but I can certainly see where they were coming from.
While it's true that I can only speak from my own experiences, they have all been negative experiences, pointing out flaws by team killing? They are pointing the finger at themselves, they are the flaw, the *** end of the community. I have also seen them fight each other one at a time while on the same team, thus throwing the match for the rest of the players on the team. Spamming squak all match was annoying as well, I'm glad I havnt seen them in a while.
I can appreciate your opinion of them but I have my own and would prefer credible members of the community point out bugs and flaws instead of them griefing their way to "fix" bugs
