But this isn't a war, this is a game.
Let me repeat.
It's just a game!!!!
And by being a total douchebag you'll make sure you'll be only playing with yourself really fast.
And in no game EVER is it your opponents responsibility to make sure you know how to play, that you understand group play, or that you own mechs that can fill the roles needed for end game content.
There are guides written by MS, 228, and many other groups SPECIFICALLY to teach people what does and doesn't work in this GAME. I personally have spent the last year training group after group of new recruits for MS, and helping many, many other players learn the basics of FW, and I am not the only one doing so, not by a long shot. Hell...we have had nights where our drop callers switched and called for the opposing team, in private lobbies, just so they would learn what we like to do and what we think works. I know others do the same...Church of Skill, the Davion hub groups, the FRR hub.....all of them help other players out, IF ASKED.
If you want to get better there are things you can learn, people you can talk to, and groups to join to help you learn.
If you don't...then stop whining and making excuses. Be as casual as you want, but don't project that on to other people or groups who want to learn and get better. Everyone enjoys different things about gaming, and there is no right answer. For some people getting better and learning new tactics, loadouts and plays are what they enjoy, and your lack of desire....or time....or ability... isn't their problem.
It's not my fault I get teamed up against new people, and half the time I am trying to show MY new people the right way to play a map or position, so don't care how far up we are, or what the score is... we still try to drill the correct moves. If I can push into a spawn and get 1-2 permadeads, I do, because against REAL players that is often the difference between winning and losing a match.
Easing up just teaches bad habits, and never wins us any friends. We still get salt even after letting someone point, so why should we bother continuing to do it after people get pissy and call us cheats, liars, and claim we ruining their game while they were driving 4 mechs that sucked even in closed beta?
I'm sorry if that makes your playing less enjoyable, but if it does that's your fault, not mine. You don't enter a chess tourney if all you have ever played is checkers. If you do, that's your fault, not the opposing players.
