Premium players and others complaining too much
Posted: Wed 18. Jan 2023, 21:35
Good afternoon everyone all the way from snowy Canada,
H-Man 92 here. I scrolled around on the website and found a post where I was name and shamed regarding me dropping gas grenades on spawn point. I thought I'll make a new post
Just stating my side of the story before I get to my actual question / response:
On this specific day, I did not drop any gas grenades on spawn point. Maybe a flash, but not gas grenades. I reported the player to admin as he kept calling me to stop and kept calling me chicken for playing with Para. I know what this player is going to say, no he said I am playing with a chicken gun, but he did call me chicken specifically. Now, as I understand (and please correct me if I am wrong):
1. Dropping flashes and gas grenades are not against the rules. (in any case, dropping flashes or gas grenades is nothing compared to spawn camping)
2. Calling people names are a hinderance and a reportable incident, right? (that's why there's an option under the reporting menu)
I find that on some maps, certain teams have a clear advantage, for instance on office, the Ts always spawn camp - it's nearly impossible to get out the garage and to win as CT. On Dust_2 - Ts have a clear advantage, because they spawn camp on the bridge and kill CTs on spawn (btw moving the knarf store helps a LOT), and Dust, where the CTs have a clear advantage as well, and CTs on Aztec (just to name a few examples).
What I find is the premium players jump to these teams with a clear advantage on these specific maps and they take the other team out. They do not complain crushing another team and making a lot of kills, but the moment they are on the other side and losing, they complain a LOT. There are also a lot of players that calls the game boring whenever they lose, blame it on lagging, or calling people all kinds of names like chicken, or more specifically cheaters, or swearing at premiums in general when they get sniped.
I always try and be on the team that has the disadvantage (I am not always successful as the game autobalance and put me sometimes in the stronger team), and when my team is losing I am doing EVERYTHING possible to help my team win. Some sees it as disrespectful, I see it as being competitive. The game isn't fair at all times, so when premiums or other players start losing and not making their 100s of kills per map, they should stop complaining. It's part of the game. Move on.
So to conclude - I do ask you - Could you please make certain rules very clear like dropping gas grenades at spawn point or hindering other people. Maybe as a popup at the start? If it's against the rules, I'll make sure to never drop a flash or gas grenade on spawn. I'll also report people hindering others with the expectation that it will be addressed on the day and it stops. But if not, can we PLEASE stop the whining and moaning. It goes for everyone - Calling people cheaters or disrespectful makes the game unpleasant. Can we stop the moaning and just play!?
