Kids mouthing off from the safety of their moms house ( or they act like kids ) is not the same as the Brotherhood of any sports team much less a Military unit. Even opposite teams have a respect.. because we are DOING it. Could not be more different than Apples and Bowling Balls. Sports teams, too many to List at high competitive levels. VET 101St 82-86 BTW ....Had fun the next game after I potatoed in the one we were in. Now up to 101 Krakens. Wish I could freeze that number for old times sake! Didn't you top that game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're 100% right here. It's just a game and nothing people say in it matter. Grown men and women should be able to realize that and should also be able to brush off what randos say in a video game 😭it's a game lmao people stay stuff and if you get Offended by the Well Done x3 that's just sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col_NASTY Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Lot's of spirited convo going on here! LOVE IT! Had to say I had a GREAT day in chat now that I am back. I had the ULTIMATE compliment today and it was awesome! In a single game I was called a Cheater , but the BEST thing was a long time player who was really giving me a run for my money ( read that as had me running scared ) When I finally killed him and began capping for the win he said. " Best DD player I have played against in years! " The others on the red team sent me <0 Talk about Dynamic opposites of what we usually see. I +1 every single one I could. Last game I played... Devstruck their CV and this guy was doing the WD WD WD the entire game every time a teammate died. His team was PO'ed He didn't do anything to actually fight us.. he just hung in back taunting his team. I've seen a ton of posts on this issue and it's great that some people don't care about what people say to them.. it's cool. Someone has to be the Pope. It's a generational thing too according to my DMs. You had to be face to face and be ready to throw hands back in the day. No such thing a talking trash without either getting your face pushed in or vice versa. It sort of made people think before talking ... SO people who grew up in the times you can tell a grown Man to CRY MOAR and go get some snacks from moms fridge will always be comfortable and unbothered. Funny you don't see them EVER do that in person.. I like the reply I saw about the single word reply and I'm Stealing THAT for sure!! Just going to Call them KAREN🤣 Have fun!! PS.. Can one of you young guys tell me what a NAK Moment is? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing how few words can convey such utter contempt for someones inabilities, excuses or lack of Esprit de Corps... Foreign students........oh my..... Heck, it's why Green Zone training was conducted on Campus: veterans are not "normal" people it seems. Oh gosh, there wasn't a day where we, the Veterans Center on campus, was not called on to litigate, mitigate or deescalate some conflict somewhere on campus. I had a Marine NCO wander in to talk to me one day because he simply felt like he was pulling the wings off of helpless flies.... "Sir, are they all this pocking stupid....." Sigh......... Language.......sigh. Especially, if a Veteran was in charge of a "team effort" for a lab or class.... Oh my....... It seems that communicating Army or Marine simply causes tears..... It's First Person; Active Voice; Bottom Line Up Front; Directive in nature; and, clear and concise....Hooah ! O-U-C-H.... Tear making material too funny for someone to make up... "When in Rome..." Being cognizant of the jurisdiction or environment that one is operating in *is* part of military training, right? Being a defender of the Citizens of our homeland does not entitle us to destroy those we swore to defend, correct? 🙂 As much as we would like to prepare the unprepared for whatever may await them, there are ways which might do so in "small doses" and using methods that "don't kill the patient while curing the disease", eh? 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend a day with an infantry platoon. The way we used to talk to each other would have some of you in therapy. Bottom line is, play how you want. If you want to just play shooty pew pew pixels boats and play poorly, be ready to get flamed for it. If you don’t like that, then turn chat off. It’s best to grow a thick skin. 4 hours ago, Jakob Knight said: I really hope you weren't talking about me. Sailors do have a reputation to uphold in regards to getting in curses that would curl the mustache of a third world dictator (just before making said dictator the problem for the next world, of course). However, there is a place and a time for it, and a need to know what one is doing with one's weapons. Using them when inappropriate has it own consequences, after all. Is a video game played among people you don't know anything about really the place and time to lay choice words reserved for when someone you know is qualified to know better has actually screwed up in the real world? With "great power" comes "great responsibility", eh? While I smiled with the quip about curling dictator's moustaches, and, as a US Marine Corps veteran, I appreciate witty banter and inter-service rivalry and joking around, aren't we supposed to abide by the TOS and EULA we signed when we became players in the game? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakob Knight Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) 2 hours ago, Unlooky said: All online games have some degree of banter/trashtalking. Nobody takes it seriously, which is presumably where the line is drawn regarding the EULA. If I triple Well Done someone or get triple Well Done'ed, I've already forgotten about it 4 minutes later. If someone truly wants to insult you, it won't be in the form of a triple Well Done. If someone says to you in real llife "Well done" sarcastically, are you actually insulted/attacked? Are you really going to find the nearest authority to report such harassment to? That is entirely the prerogative your actions have given me at that point. If I do or do not, that is my decision, and you will take the consequences. Saying 'I didn't mean any harm' or 'you can't be taking this seriously' is no longer up to you at that point, but up to that controlling authority (in this case, WG) . You may have forgotten it 4 minutes later, but has the person you insulted? Your assumptions mean nothing when it is grounds for your account to be suspended. You don't control the results of your actions, only if you take them. And I assure you that there are people out there who will take it seriously. If you want to bet your account and access to the game, that's your choice. Edited May 9 by Jakob Knight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that this is where we draw the line, instead of something actually offensive. Offensive is in the eye of the victim, as many people find out too late. No one can stop someone from being offended, even if it is a ridiculously low standard they are using. That's why WG gets to decide how to handle things in their game and not any player who wants to cry foul because someone stole their kill or told them they were not playing correctly in chat. Point is, if you do something that you know is insulting and intended to insult (again, abusing Well Done in that way isn't intended to make the target feel they did well or communicate solidarity with them, so it falls into a range of insults), then don't be surprised if you are called on the carpet for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize the futility of arguing what is offensive for another person? The conflicting perspectives are endless... The only practical response is acceptance... that at some you'll offend someone. It's within their rights to feel offended, nothing can be done about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the amount of actually serious bad behavior that slides by, such as certain widely despised Ranked griefers who have ruined countless experiences for years, I wouldn't hold your breath. It would be frankly somewhat shocking and hilarious if such a trivial and meaningless bit of sass such as the triple Well Done actually got someone sanctioned at all, much less seriously so. While said griefing individuals are meanwhile allowed to run rampant lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't necessarily think it would get taken seriously by WG either, unless they already had a record against the player and decided to use it as the final straw. As I said, they get to determine their game, not any of us. I'm just giving notice it is insulting and could be so used if WG wished to pursue the matter.

Frostbow Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 If there is a player who is about to commit a questionable move, like a DD rushing forward to cap, players double click on that DD on the mini map to call attention to that player. Apparently there are those who deem it to be offensive. And when said DD player becomes the first kill of the battle: Well done! Well done! Well done! 😂😂😂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itwastuesday Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 What we need is more commanders that spew insults. I think Starcream goes "Can't you morons do anything right?" or so.

Montrala Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 There is certain group of clans on EU server that is full of very toxic and whiny "superunicums" (not so super in solo stats BTW), who often start battle with insults and then it goes downhill. They are especially irritating in ranked, as in randoms they play in divs only, so probably they keep toxic comments to div chat. When I'm in team with member of one of their clans, I just blacklist and I'm done with that. I'm well past benefit of the doubt for anyone from these clans. Also when someone starts to spam quick messages or starts insulting anyone in chat, I just blacklist and forget about this player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
