Then you should really look at the players you're supporting. I'm not the one running around in these threads calling them "scrubs"
Matter of fact, I consistently say I'm tired of some trying to portray PUGs as drooling idiots who can't pick their own nose without help.
Again, before you start slinging "back atcha" stuff, you might want to actually read who's posting what and do a little more research as to who's actually advocating what.
and again
maybe you should bother understanding the people you keep slinging accusations around at. Either stop with the personal attacks or the report button starts getting used a lot more often. You know nothing about anybody here personally based on your own statements, so stop trying to label them as something then until you do get to know them.
your the one who keeps using the scrubs term to refer to all pugs in a blanket manner.
my use of it has been to try and get you to understand that not all pugs players are the same. they are a very wide ranging type of people. A small section of which are totally devoid of team function in any way and are just there for C-bills they can grab at random moments.
Some of them are like yourself ( or so you say ), grouping at random and meeting new people, trying to enjoy a game in with team work. Happy to use 3rd party voip, and may occasionally engage in groups / units.
Some of them are solo's who group at random, work with the team they land with and will strive to help the other 11 players, but don't give a fu*k about joining a 3rd party voip. They WILL communicate, and work as best able within the game client to achieve the best result for the TEAM that they are apart of for that round. They won't bother attempting to train people that won't learn or work with a team though, and if they see things are doomed within the first few mins they won't bother communicating with a dead rabble of players, they will do their best to survive and try and turn the round to something favorable. But why bother trying to educate or converse with a brick wall, it does nothing, so they don't bother for that round once its largely over, as it's often wasted breath decried by the fails as whining and crying.
Some of the players are just dropping for the sake of somewhere to grind c-bills, they have zero motivation other than themselves, they have zero team skills and will often go out of they're way to avoid what the rest of the team is doing. They have zero considerations about the team they are about to "support" when building their drop deck, and will often go for high alpha - quick shut down mechs or all guns -limited ammo builds that best suit their spray and pray "team of me" methods. These are the solo scrubs i refer to, that you have made every attempt to turn my reference into a blanket term related to ALL pugs.
These are not the only types of pugs either, there are more. You say you don't appreciate others referring to pugs as scrubs, try not applying to reference all pugs when it suits your desires to distort what others have said.
Just more of your continued efforts to distort other peoples views hoping to discredit anything not aligned to your opinion of how things should be.
I'd appreciate if you would stop referring to all players who support a split as being the pug solo's who are crying over being rolled. I don't like the roflstomps, I don't like taking part in them, I am often on the winning side when they occur, though i don't regard it as a win at all. And yes, iv'e been on the receiving end a few times, it by no mean translates to me just giving up for the round, I fight to the bitter end. All these matches are a waste of time, serve only to demoralize new players, distort a window dressing campaign, and it brings out the worst of all players. The cry moar scrubs to the units who do their best to avoid it, are all damaged by every "match" that is totally imbalanced from the start.
Iv'e often suggested just closing it to non unit players and be done with it, but if people insist on still having the scrubs and solo's and pugs in, then you have to allow some room to have the scrubs moved away from the rest of the units so the whining stops. Let them get rolled by stealth teams ( I know you know what that is referring to before you go off half-cocked on that ) but the units no longer attract the blame, and can get on with real games that aren't a time sink for free c-bills.
People either need to accept that CW is for units and lock it accordingly, or accept that it is open to all players, no matter how they play. If it is to be open to all players, are we to sit here and let the bullshite go on and on, or can we at least separate the bullshite and stop the units having the most distorted gameplay.
Get over yourself dude, and take a step back and look outside of your narrow field of view, you might be surprised to find other people out there enjoying the game without playing it the way you do. You might find an opinion different to yours that might not be invalid by default. You might find a greater level of enjoyment if you took yourself and the GAME less seriously.
I have no problems with how anyone want to play, I do have an issue being lumped with the scrubs and written off as one of the crymoars over groups. I would love to be a part of a unit, and will wear a tag proudly so all my opponents know im functioning that way, when being a part of a unit actually holds meaning and doesn't attract the rage it currently does.
Until then i will continue to enjoy my GAME in pug land as best able, while not miss-representing myself as being a pug when im really a unit. I will continue to work with the team i drop with, and will remain silent if we lose. I will continue to have my successes and losses against both pugs and units in the alternate game mode that CW currently is. I will continue to laugh as the scrubs get thrown up against units, and stealth units drop as pugs. I look forward to units one day having greater meaning than being honorable and sportsman enough declare how they are playing by wearing a tag. I look forward to seeing the rage quits of the elitist entitlement people as the game progresses, not stagnates as they seem to be wanting.
and please, iv'e asked before and will again, please do report me if you feel iv'e attacked you in any way. I welcome it.
