The community has decreased in size but sadly this kind of attitude is on the rise. For some, showing any class is a wasted effort. As one player told me, "I don't care about class, I'm here to make myself happy." This came from the same group that told me in an event, "We are here to get kills, don't get in our way."

As I said recently, any one can learn the game and improve but you can't teach someone good character.

QFT  the game is changing I don't know if its in a good way.

I remember just after I started playing getting bawled out by someone in the DA for hoing. He then took the time to explain arena etiquette and give me a few pointers. That was Nrshida. We have become firm friends since then and regularly attended 'breakfast club' in the DA with some fantastic fair fights and banter. Sadly nowadays nobody seems to want to accept advice.

If class was required there'd be a stat page for it!  :old:

I would give anything to be back in the air with these tards!! Hopefully my new house will have reliable internet.  I remember this player. Pretty sure I got some PMs from him as well!!

And it gets old! Well said. None of this makes for good game play.

It's a shame that there are a few who should have never got off the shortbus.  The Joker's Chokers have always been full of this type of player and it's not unexpected behavior.  Ignore them and fly on Snuggie!  :aok

P40s are a tasty treat for an I16............but they usually show up in groups because a squad decided to up them for the novelty.

It is a shame that co's condone and encourage the behavior.

That's pretty funny.

Dr7 looking for subs at the spawn made me chuckle too.  :D

Most co's in general.   HamrDown apparently has an affinity to want more out of life, but settles for morally bankrupt.
