First to complain - worst on team.
No exceptions.

Except, that VERY often isn't true.
It's usually the guy who can see what's going on, and where it's going wrong coupled with a distinct lack of patience with other people, combined with said people's refusal to listen/and/or act when spoken to nicely:)
In this game quite often the team IS at fault-usually through being excessively passive.
I've been "that" guy and am "that" guy sadly.

I don't threaten or swear at anyone-but I will have a pop if I think I need to. Sometimes people have called me a twit (or worse) but I've taken it on the chin and learned from what they have said. Not all the time they have a point but sometimes they do, and sometimes a harsh word is needed...and sometimes appreciated.

An argument that gets brought up every time ;)


There is a world of difference between complaining - and helping and guiding
If all the guy is doing is complaining - then he is not helping.
He is distracting
He is demoralizing
He is hurting his team

If he is offering guidance - making USE of that extra knowledge - then he is not complaining, is he?

If all you are doing is spouting negativity (IE: complaining) then you are not helping.
There are ways to say someone is failing without complaining or dragging them down

In text - most niceness (or rudeness) disappears
Tone is lost completely.



......



Can that be my whine for today?
Not that I am any good at reading tone of voice - but at least I can read some of it.

I was birddogged earlier this week because a guy didn't like how I was playing my spider. I always enjoy people who are hurr durr, you're not playing how I want you to play, so I'm gonna screw up your game.

Make sure you screen shot that garbage and file a service ticket on them.

Screen shot it if you can.

Send an e-mail to support@mwomercs.com with the date the match ended (day/month/year, hour, timezone), the name of the offending player, and which map it was on. They should hopefully take some measures.

Player on his team kept reporting his position to the enemy. It's a ban-able offense. Team Treason.

I did, but I realized I left a few choice words for the guy and I don't want to possibly get into trouble for them as well.
