No name and shame, no flaming. Simple questions but important ones that in all the flurry on the forum don't seem to come up very much.

The focus is on what is respectable, not what isn't respectable. If you get into the 'what isn't' part you'll just make people defensive and waste valuable electrons on the interwebz with bickering posts.

This is about what you respect. You, personally. Not anyone else, not what you think other people should think, just you.

Haven't played any private match yet.

PUGGING:
What builds do you respect to see played well?
Any built that the pilot can use well.
Sniper? If your shots are accurate then kudos to you.
Lurmboat that know when to rain and when to reposition? I want you on my side.
Scout and Striker that seek out the Sniper and Lurmboat, and eat them alive? Excellent.
Brawler and Support that hold the line so the Sniper and Lurmboat can do their work? MOAR pl0x.

What behavior in teammates do you see that you find respectable?
Not breaking off to go solo, unless you are a scout. 3 Stars
Not shutting down in a corner when the match is hopeless. 4 Stars
Communicating enemy location/situation to the team. 5 Stars!!!

What behavior do you see in the other team that you find respectable?
Manage to flank and set up a pincher attack on my team/lance. Well Played.
Having a mix of different role working together to scrap my team. Good Game.

FINAL BONUS QUESTION:
If you don't do all of this stuff every match you can.... why not?
Because I died early and is ghosting.

I like how you rate them stars.

I admit, I'm also pleased at how many people list communication as very worthwhile. We all wish people did I guess.

I respect anyone that is playing the game without the meta and ecm, The guys that know how to play deserve respect, Not meaning to be disrespectful to the meta and ecm types every class room work place has the bad people no one likes , got to learn to tolerate them , and try to teach them the error of there ways.

Is the WubShee considered meta?

I respect that PGI still has the drive to get out of bed and come to work everyday after what they have done to the name of MechWarrior.

I do not mind about whichever bult, i respcet people that change builts every other game

I repect teammates that try to communicate and don't blame their team if they die

I respect the people give some advice to someone they killed about what to do to not be killed like that again.

P.S.: Just to be clear that doen't mean i disrespect everyone else, i respect everyone that respects me.

People who dont rig the match by stacking teams.

People who can do well in non metabuids. I think it says a lot about the difference in skill when someone can do, say, 1000 damage in a non metabuild while a metabuild only achieves 500 or less.

Actually, doing 500 damage in a metabuild would be better than doing 1000 damage with lasers, assuming you hit the CT every time.

More efficient use of damage. But it's fairly difficult to get 1000 damage with pulse lasers. Between the fact they are so hot, and the fact things die so fast, you just can't pad the stats.

I also like people who say "rgr" or "thks" after a team mate shares enemy location on chat.

Underpowered weapons generally. Brownie points for trolling effectively with them.

What behavior in teammates do you see that you find respectable?

Simply people not whining so freaking early in the match... better to see them complain when the match is decided.

What's actually respectable is to see people actually trying to help each other (even while dead) in chat... but that apparently is frowned upon by some.

Teammates that "know what to do, w/o actually needing to tell them". I'm not talking about skill, but even basic things like not literally stand next to each other (giving proper "elbow" room) and bringing their own TAG as a missile boat. The little things that count and matter... AND actually doing them.

Quote

What behavior do you see in the other team that you find respectable?

Usually, there isn't any because they are the opfor. I guess perhaps saying gg even when it was a roflstomp. Personally, most matches don't deserve it though.

PRIVATE MATCHES/12MANS:

What builds do you respect to see played well?

Any build that is successful FOR THAT PLAYER is good for me. You have to carry your weight. I give loads more credit to light pilots, because they have to do the dirty work.

Quote

What behaviors in teammates do you see that you find respectable?

Taking personal responsibility is most important, in addition to striving to not repeat mistakes. I think I repeat plenty of mistakes often, but I can't fault people for trying at the very least.

Quote

What behavior do you see in the other team that you find respectable?

Outside of not spamming ggclose at the end of a match (when they are the victor, because I don't care if they say it when they lose)... I guess it would be good sportsmanship to occasionally say "we'll see you again" and some niceties. But, I don't expect that much really in this game...

FINAL BONUS QUESTION:

If you don't do all of this stuff every match you can.... why not?

I play too many matches, and lost too much "care" for a lack of a better term. I do what I can, but seeing how people ignore obvious hints like UAV deployment or just simple basic stuff (because, you know, tutorials), it's hard to have faith that the guy that isn't part of my premade to have a clue. That's what drives me nuts. I've have more faith in humanity if people wanted to get better, instead of just saying it and doing the complete opposite.

I respect anyone that plays well and isn't a tryhard in a meta mech. Tryhards in non-meta builds are fine.

PUGGING:

What builds do you respect to see played well?
Anything but the meta builds

What behavior in teammates do you see that you find respectable?
Proper baiting, flanking... Actually sticking together. Just about any simple things anyone who's ever played a team sport should know.

What behavior do you see in the other team that you find respectable?
See above

FINAL BONUS QUESTION:

If you don't do all of this stuff every match you can.... why not?
Sometimes I just don't care and want to shoot giant stompy robots, without paying any attention to anything but said giant stompy robots being shot.

Skipped 12-man/privates because I haven't touched the private matches and my ridiculously limited experience in 12-mans has been running troll builds (ever go up against an entire team of 3xAC2 shadowhawks? It's hilarious... But not very effective against an entire team of dragon slayers).

Lasers arent the only thing thats non metabuild....2x ppcs by itself is perfectly fine for example.

2) Good teamwork. Sportsmanship in defeat.

4) Cause I'm human, and as such, I am prone to failing to always practice what I preach.

Any build, as long as it's working for the player.

What behavior in teammates do you see that you find respectable?
Quickly adapting to the current situation, assisting teammates, communication, actually hitting what they're shooting at.

What behavior do you see in the other team that you find respectable?
See above, I prefer my enemy to actually be competent, easy matches are boring.

PRIVATE MATCHES/12MANS:

Same as the above, though the ability to follow orders and/or lead a team is much more important here.

[Bobzilla]

I respect players that aren't afraid of pushing or breaking cover. I'm not talking about a crazy suicide, (looks that way if only one does it tho).

I've seen teams being 8v2 and the 8 is still protecting themselves, usually letting the enemy seek petter positioning or rtb.

[Blood Rose]

I respect fellow Brawlers, especially us whom get up close and personal. I respect the great skill that we need, and the vast amounts of losses and deaths for very little reward that we must go through just to get that one little snippet of a true close quarters brawl that we crave.

I also respect those whom run energy heavy builds, especially given how the heat system penalises them to stupid amounts.

I also respect Locust pilots. Those little guys have a hard time as even the tiniest bump or smallest drop strips a gackload of armour from their already tinfoil plated legs.

I disrespect any Metatard whom stands back and lets rip with his multi AC build and tears anyone whom opposses him apart, and then goes to whine on the Forums when something like an LRM boat or a strike hurts him because he was to stuck in his Metatardness too adapt and try a different playstyle.
