Just more "otherizing" by obstinate morons.

You've just described 95% of my unit. Do you really think we're "different," as if we're some kind of troglodyte species who are separate from the rest of humanity? We're normal folks with jobs and lives who happen to enjoy playing MWO. MWO is a game, and we're just trying to play the game to the best of our abilities.

How would you know if you don't even bother with groups or TeamSpeak? If you did bother, you'd know that Pat Kell is a good dude, as are everyone in KCom. You'd find the same in MJ12.

This last page or two gave me a headache to read through it.

If the population in CW was healthy it would smooth out issues between the various sub cultures in this game.

Since there is like 1 Kcom for example then you have more of a subculture clash whereas if there was 10 kcom like very active units they would have better fish to fry. (not singling them out in a negative way)

Yeah, guilty as charged. When some rando comes on and says 'I'm better'n all y'all FW braindeads' I get curious and derive a bit of sick pleasure in publishing his abysmal stats.

Argument 1: "FW sucks because of the following mechanics, and here are the examples/supporting data".

Argument 2: "FW sucks because you all suck and I'm better at it than any of you so my opinion is more relevant. I know what I'm talking about because I'm a BA at this game."

Argument 1 is valid (or invalid) on the strength of its arguments. Stats are irrelevant.

Argument 2 is based on the performance of the person making the argument and, as such, stats are a relevant point to bring up. Ironically argument 2 still isn't that strong unless supported by an argument 1. Making a type 2 argument with bad stats however is hard to take seriously as it's faulty on its basis.
