Hello Again Mighty Forum Warriors,
I have come to realize that a good portion of this player base is completely insane and not enjoying this game. They do not seem to understand that no one in the end really cares about how skilled they are, or how bada$$ their sniping is, or that their unit is one of the best in the game.
Allow me to explain, a few weeks ago one of my members created an ranking of units based upon his opinion and half as a joke. Someone sniped it and put it on reddit with a name that looked similar to his in game screen name. Honestly, we had a huge amount of fun trolling the community with it even though that wasn't the original intent, but there was something that amazed us. HOW MUCH PEOPLE CARED!
Oh yes, random player from the internet creates a power ranking and man oh man were people upset. We had so many people upset at there rankings, others were hurt they were not included, and only a few actually realized how funny the whole thing was. Some of our unit members that are into psychology think this community is worth studying as there entire existence seems evolve around being validated in a game involving glitch stompy robots.
As much as we enjoy being able to rile 3/4 of this community up at a given point I've decided to do my weekly good Samaritan act. For those of you honestly riled up to the point where you're getting upset and expending all of this energy on this dumb game...... STOP!
That is right, just stop.
When you feel you need to post that screen shot to show how awesome you are just stop.... no one cares or will remembers how cool you did in that game. I personally have had those 3000, 4000+ games. Want to know how many screen shots I have taken, none. I don't care if you believe me or not, in the end it really doesn't matter or make me enjoy the game more.
When you are getting ready to defend yourself and get all self righteous stop.... take a lesson from SWOL, just tell them you suck. It makes it all the more funny when you roll them.
Spend a minimal time on the forums..... honestly, no one cares or will remember your posts in a year or so from now. Being validated here means nothing.
And with that note I have no wasted enough of my time and am gone.

It's no surprise that eSports would begin their own zealotry, especially when people start speaking good/ill about their own team that they are a member of.
In other words:
Meh...
