For the love of the gods - please introduce some id verification and limit the game to people that have accumulated at least a minimal amount of self-respect and decency. At least until the testing stage is over.

Really I don't care, this is mostly a suggestion for testers to treat each other with a little more respect both in and out of the game. A chat filter would be nice as well, so we don't have to have our screens flooded with curses from some p'd off kid who ran alone into a pack of atlases.

Children come in all ages. I doubt that requiring an ID check, even if it were even remotely feasible from a technical standpoint, would do much good.

Anyone who has worked in the service industry knows that there are simply some horrible, miserable, sad excuses for human beings out there, and they are always the ones screaming the loudest and longest.

I concur. With any luck one or two of them will see this and take a second to review their behavior.

Wow.

It is nice to see your faith in anything related to this game hasn't been beaten out of you yet. Carry on good Sir, carry on.

They should also limit IQ...sadly you wouldn't be enjoying metal mech mayhem with your hilariously mongoloid idea. (which is probably due to some sort of rage jest expression from being told off by a pre teen in a game or two.)

Yeah! Treating people with a bit more respect is a ******** idea.. what an *****.

BTW: Im pretty sure you are the intended recipient of the OP message.

[PANZERBUNNY]

Why on earth would anyone give respect to an OP declaring that only those who are 21+ should play this game?

Sounds like a toss er to me.

Sometimes younger gamers are more excitable and inexperienced socially in online games.

Sometimes it's the opposite and those "adults" are hundreds of times worse, because they know better and choose not to act like a human being.

Better yet, lets restrict this game to neutered males who are mamas boys and bleeding heart liberals who make cup cakes for their Lance mates and talk about the new sears catalog.

Lets ramp this flame thread up a bit.

This would almost work...

...if not for the fact that usually the most offensive, belligerent and abrasive "children" are over 21.

This somes it up. Warning though, it does have a F-bomb.

they first need to have a censor game chat option. because kids are not the only ones that swear like a salior. ive seen grown men in their 50s swearing like a 16 year old gangster punk.

what i wouldnt mind seeing is a iq test to weed out the lemmings and newbie players that have no teamwork or tatics experience. the swearing i could handle by just not paying attention so long as they are good players.

but im tired of teams that are like lets stick togeather and we'll win, then they rush through the most open area on the map and get decimated because they dont focus fire. while im the one that goes off alone and flanks the enemy and can get on the cap and i have to fight the entire enemy team, which if im lucky my team killed atleast 2. and im either the last one to die or a magically pull a rabbit out of my backend and manage to cap the flag while holding off a few mechs.

a good example is forrest colony snow the enemy team was already down due to 2 disconnects and my team lined up like lemmings and headed out into open water. i even ask them what they where doing and they where just like duh "sticking togeather" de de dee. and i said yea like a group of lemmings. me with half a brain stayed back a bit to catch any scouts even though i had a feeling that with them lacking two they where on the defensive.so when my forces engaged i snuck around the cave side kill an lrm cat and get on the flag. well my team died except for a commando and the two of us me in my cent managed to take on a cent, cataphract, raven, and catapult, only two of which where heavily damaged and some how we won the match because we where smart enough to focus on one target, and you can tell by if the triangle above their head is filled in.

so yeah puting an age limit wont get rid of those that swear but an iq test could give other players a less of a reason to swear. i refrain my self as much a possible though i will resort to the noobs or lemming commenting but in reality im swearing up a storm that causes my dog to leave the room and its all do to the the teams i get put on
