Is taking a game seriously bad? When is seriously "too" seriously?

I think taking this game serious as in its game mechanics and its future is alright, since we're investing money into it.

But i think its stupid how people overreact to the way others play and try to police the game to make people play how THEY want them too.

I've raged a few times when I'm screwed out of a good fight by the game (puffy ack) or another player (there's nobody else in sector, just wait a moment and I'll fight you too!), but I don't express my anger through the keyboard causing a purse fight on 200. I did make a snippy remark the other day, didn't call anyone names, but apologized later.

The only thing I take seriously nowadays is the opportunity to fight, I don't fret over the fight itself, but when one's dangled on a string in front of me and whisked away 10 times I'll get frustrated.

Still a fun game though, I'd rather play it than anything else.

In some respects I probably do take it too seriously, in most I do not.  I tend to take my dogfighting very seriously, I'm thinking this is mostly from the trainer aspect.  A lost aircraft in my mind is percieved as weakness in my ability, and therefore weakness in my ability to teach.  I know this is almost entirely on my end of perception but it still does bother me.  GV'ing on the other hand I know I'm not good at (except wirbles), so I can play them with absolutely no stress.

Some people live and die by the number of bases that their team has.  It is those people that can be a very big drag on morale, if that is what we're calling it.  The constant crying, taunting, and finger pointing gets old.  

I just and remind people as politely as I can that unless they can put it on their resume' then it really doesn't matter what happens in the game.  Then there is the opposite extreme and that would be those players who care for nothing except their score.  Those players are easy to spot, they are the ones who constantly take up the crutch aircraft (P51D, La7, Spit16, etc) and refuse to be challenged by player or aircraft.

I'm with you here... people who make multiple posts because they were ticked off over something that happened IN A GAME on Thanksgiving really need to re-prioritize things in their lives...

IMO leaving a fight and going home without a scalp in hand is losing.

But not in my book

What do you think? Of course what I said isn't an absolute, I wouldn't think that I lost if I left the fight PW'd by ack or something, but what's your opinion?
