Subject: Why all the insults?

I have been playing a lot of social lately (mostly due to de-rankers) and after a match (typically one I do very well in) I will get messages about how terrible I am. It always has something to do with the fact that I am a Brigadier. Or should I say, a "garbage brig". People tell me "I should get my 50 because I am garbage". What does this mean exactly? Will being a 50 make my bullets hurt more? No. So how would that make me any better?

I AM DONE linking my gamertag. I'm sick of people constantly following me and giving me their goddamn opinion about every game I play.

Get a life and stop following me.

if it's really that bad, you can play with me. I typically take all of the heat from players.

I don't know, I guess people get butthurt when a staff captain whoops their ass.

I find it interesting though, it's only 1 game.
1 friggen game people, if you beat someone once, it's not like your suddenly god and you can trash on the entire team. beat them maybe 10 times in a row and that's another story, but there's too much of the 'random crap that's bound to happen' variable for them to make a good point.

avoid players, mute them, report if they send more than 1 or 2 messages.
if you T-bag or overkill people, do expect some heat though, but if you try to play professionally, or in silence, I don't think they'll bother you that much.

course, this is the internet. sh1t is bound to happen.

BTW, if you get a 50, you get this = )

Occasionally I'd run into people like that. What ever makes them feel better about themselves, I guess. Don't worry about them, you've got a better conscience than they do.

I probably get insulted more than most people, but I never realize it because I have "Team and Party" set. If I'm playing random, I immediately mute anyone on my team that sounds like a douche or has a noisy mic.

my team never has mics.
actually, in most games I play, almost no one has a mic. it's a little strange playing such quiet games after going through the ringer with my group.

Thanks for the positive words guys =)

I truly am curious though as to their logic. Maybe they just have no logic at all.....

There are 10 things I know about you. 1)You are reading my sig. 2)You are thinking that's a stupid fact. 4)You didn't notice I skipped 3. 5)You are checking it now. 6)You're smiling 7)You are still reading my sig. 8)You know all these things are true. 10)You didn't notice I skipped 9.

If I look retarded, It's because I make myself look retarded.

I'm actually pretty glad I'm not a 50, I think I'd get even more messages.

Yep, your bullets will do more damage when you become a General, it was said at some point in Team Slayer that this 1 Star General killed someone by shooting a plasma pistol alone.

In all seriousness, just ignore comments like those that they sent you.

Just ignore them.

I mute teammates who rage, complain, or disparage people on our team.

I will search without a mic in social playlists a lot. In ranked, if people are complaining too much, I'll just mute them or remove my mic.

  • 08.10.2010 8:37 AM PDT

Rei!

Where?

:3

Who gives a flying -blam!- if they insult you? It's their problem, not yours. If anything, the people that insulted you are pathetic bastards because they have to insult someone over their rank in an online game.

I almost always have it on mute all in social. I was referring to post game messages though. People are so immature.
