Really felt the need to address a frustrating scenario that constantly occurs when entering a PVP game....
You enter an established game with your head on a swivel. Ready to heal your team, drop bombs, or otherwise unleash havoc upon your enemies. Immediately after your first aggressive torrent against an enemy player you're bombarded by players whining about your actions...
APPARENTLY...You've just interrupted someones conversation!
I routinely practice what I consider to be good PVP etiquette but guys...seriously?! If you want to chit chat about your best combat techniques or perhaps the current annual snowfall in Michigan, that's fine...I just ask that you don't complain when you're dead because you were standing on the tracks when the train came through. If you're enjoying a good social experience with some people you met while pvping, fantastic...make a private match so you won't be bothered by people who want to play the game the way it was meant.
Another scenario....
Your entrance into a match has unbalanced the teams to a 2v1 situation. It's bothersome to hear people crying out over, and over, "wat r u doing noob?! it's 1v1!" after engaging the opponent.
Sorry folks...for starters, it ain't 1v1. It's 3v3 (or whatever), the other folks just havn't arrived yet. I'm mentioning this as a person who ain't afraid to get my butt kicked. I've sucked down quite a bit of frustration gutting out 3v1 situations cause people are nice and cozy padding stats, or simply too lazy to balance the teams. If you don't like the odds you have several other options, sitting in the lobby being one of them, until the game balances.
Can I getta' "hell yeah"?
