Hi,

I can't name the person, but it is bad form telling people in game that Alt F4 opens the new 3rd person view.

This didn't work on me, but 2 puggers in a game I was just in, disconnected due to this person.
Of cause when we complained in game the person apologized, but wound not disconnect themselves when prompted too.

So if you have the balls, I suggest you answer on this thread and apologize where we can all see.

Regards,

DK

Alt f4 is funny, every single time.
It was funny in 1998, and it will be funny in 3048.

That people are dumb enough to still fall for this is amazingly depressing,

Apologize? No, this is a just a classic troll. It's so obvious, so those who fall for it truly deserve it, and you can't help but laugh when you see it succeed. It's probably one of online PC gaming's greatest jokes.

I came in here expecting another angry rant about people disconnecting before death, but instead was pleasantly surprised.

From now on, if anyone in my game ever asks how to switch to third person, I shall tell them alt f4 :)

Yes, it makes me "glad" that Mechwarriors and WoWheads are no different. "Ipwnnoobs You have been reported AFK. To prove that you are not, type: /afk clear" and "Hey guys! Did you know that you can pitch a tent by building a basic campfire and then typing /camp here?"

No different.

For real if people don't know that is the hotkey for killing a program, that is virtual Darwinism.

I've done this.
If you've not done this, you're too young for the internet.

If you've fallen for it, you should really get a new hobby.

That's all there's to say about it.

I do this, I will continue to do this and will not feel bad. I'll even do it to my own team.

Yes, this might be funny for many of you.

But consider this. These are new people to this game. They are the people that would be bringing in new money to keep your sorry ar*s*es playing this game.

Instead of being a bunch of griefers, how about you try and grow this community, so we can all benefit?

You where all newbies once...

While I do not endorse it, I do not feel it is a crime.

If you are old enough to use the internet, you bloody well ought to be old enough to know what Alt F4 does. If not, you just got a free lesson while doing nothing more important than playing a bloody video game.

Seriously.. if someone is too internet ignorant to know, I wouldn't want em on my team to begin with. That is like Internet for Dummies level stuff.

I regularlly give the right answer and follow it up with the alt f2 through f5 statement. Gaming Darwinism at its finest.

Random Guy: "Whats the fix for the yellow screen"

Me: "Right shift f11"
Me: "If that doesnt work, you can toggle through the modes with alt f2 through f5"
