Well, I feel like participating in this discussion, hopefully without encouraging any shitstorm or else....
I pretty much read thru the whole topic and on the one hand I would like to thank all those who are on our side (and who have the (imo) more reasonable arguments) but on the other hand address those who are complaining and unlucky about us, I do (most of the time) understand your reasons. Nevertheless this discussion has reached a point way beyond rational thinking.
M0stlyHarmless: None of us takes this 'serious' nor does the game fill all of our lifes content....we are just having fun playing it, we are having fun playing it as a team and it's even more fun when you can use the teamspeak to coordinate as a team.
(I'm mentioning you in particular cause you're the only XI complaining recently.....and after being accused of hacking for months, after being insulted in chat over and over again, after knowing this discussion goes on within XI for months, you can understand that the answer to 'Split up as we agreed' isn't 'Yes of course we'll do, sorry for plaiyng in one team'. I was telling you we didn't agree on anything (which is the truth) and after several hostile comments from you I told you to shut it. I believe everybody can understand that)
In general nearly everything has been said.
- When there's only 1 or 2 of us, we aren't that good...it's just teamwork
- There's always many people on the XI TS, simply team up
- Getting rid of players because they appear to be too good, that's just poor
- Leaving the server because they appear to be too goos, that's poor either
Further, I believe we don't imbalance anything. E.g. there was a game of CL yesterday which our team lost like 600:0 ... sure ZonK were in the upper ranks but it didn't help, the team still lost big time. And just about two hours ago, CQ on Hangar....it was 210:180 or something, so nothing unbalanced there....why start switching us around? Where's the sense in that? This shows that the whole team counts....five good players in a bunch of stupid players don't make the difference.
I've been playing games like BF or CoD for quite a while now and I was pretty bad as I started...I had to play on my own, every teammate was doing their own shit and it was really frustrating. Then I joined a clan, started playing as a team and suddenly I got better and I had much more fun. Even now I don't really like playing on my own. But that's exactly why we have communities and ts servers. To talk to each other and use tactics to our advantage. It really is that simple. And sorry to say that, but blaming everything on us (cause that's exactly what is going on at the moment) just because some of you XI, foXI or other folks visiting the TS are not able to play together as a team....that's really weak....and I just don't get it. I've been to your TS server quite often and I know that there is very few people who are actually using it for playing the game.
Either you just play the game with no enthusiams, but then why would you care if you get shot over and over again? If you just wanna talk about dinner (or whatever was mentioned in a post above) go ahead but don't be depressed if you play a bad game. But since everyone on this topic who is complaining seems to have enough enthusiasm to care, why don't you change something and try to be better? If you were on our TS you'd all notice that talking about the day, making jokes, being childish and having a lot of fun with your buddies after a long day at work goes hand in hand with playing together as a team and scoring top ranks.
You are right by saying it pisses us off that we're getting split up into different teams and I can assure you that, if this continues to happen on a regular basis, we won't play on your server much longer. If that's what you all want, go ahead and do it. But in my opinion that's not any better than simply kicking or baning us. We don't pay for the server, that is true, those who do have to decide. You all wanna enjoy some nice gaming to clear you mind as do we. But honestly, making such a big deal about a frickin video game....that's just ridiculous.
Well, you heared our side of the story...I believe there's nothing left to say.
Cheers
