What fun eh? Six matches in a row with premades, stomping us. At least five of them were goon squads with thier squawking. No big deal eh? Just another fun night in MWO.
But ya know..the name calling, taunting and general grade-school level open chat crap is just annoying, and really bad for the game in general. Being called sh*ts and other names before the match begins, then laughed at and called names after the match ends with our overwhelming loss, is not making anyone in those matches, other than the frankly offensive goons, want to play this game. A bit of pre-match trash talking is fine...but have some good sportsmanship and decency.
Being beaten over and over as a PUGer facing premades is enough. I, and I'm sure others, don't need the insulting on top of it. And I was not alone in my feelings, judging by the team chat.
Yes..I know, it's the internet, and apparently being safely anonymous is an excuse for displaying bullying behavior and general stupidity. However, from a business stand point, it is gonna lose this game some customers, and probably already has.
As much as I have always enjoyed Battletech and Mechwarrior, I'm on the fence myself as to whether I want to keep playing and/or spending time and money here.
It seemed, for a short stretch there, that this community might be a bit more mature than many other FPS and competitive PVP games, but the past month has certainly changed my opinion. Not that everyone is rude, premade or PUG, but enough are, with more all the time, that it really leaves a bad impression.
LOL wut? lol
not my team, sorry for your loss.
