Maybe I just see things differently than most of you do, but every time I've been on, I have seen members of JG54 flying both sides in the CT. They may not always be the FIRST to switch, but they do try to even things up. And despite the reputation, I have NEVER heard storch or VWE go off on ANYONE without some prior provocation. All of them are quick enough with the insults or whatever in retaliation, maybe even to the extreme sometimes, but it has always been provoked first. To my way of thinking, if you dont want to get stung, dont go around pissing off bees.
As far as "ganging" goes, I just see it as squad tactics. They have each other's backs. Thats a good thing. They dont do it any worse than any of the other squads ever did, its just that they are one of the few squads left that have any real numbers up at any given time in a relatively small arena. Yes, it can get frustrating when the numbers get really low, but if it happens and they dont feel like switching, I just log off. Pretty simple solution.
Problems with individuals? Well, VWE sucks.
No seriously. He does.
Ok ok. Not really. I just get tired of him shooting me down lol. But thats more MY fault. No problems there, I just need to work more on my SA.
Other than VWE though, who really just gets folks ticked off at themselves, I think there are really only 2 others that get the focus of the anti-JG54 feeling. Storch, TK, I think are great guys. Both have a temper control problem. Storch has certain issues that seem to be buttons for other people to push, and they do. I think people get the wrong impression when they come in to the arena after someone else has had a chance to get him fired up, and the wrong ones end up being the focus of his temper. Makes for a bad rep. he doesnt completely deserve. TrueKill........ well, he's creative and pretty good at organizing........ but like most creative people I think he's about half nuts lol. It just seems sometimes like he is on a hair trigger and he doesnt do anything by halves. Whatever he is doing is 100%. Including going off on people. All I can say when someone pushes him over the edge is, thank God those guns arent real. Really, people see one of his eruptions and they REALLY get a bad idea about the CT. I can say his reactions are almost always provoked. I cant say the level of his response is always justified. I think he overreacts. But then I'm not him. Still, there needs to be some self control on the language. We all need to work on it, I know, but ..............
Anyway, its just my views. I think the squad brings alot to the CT. And if there is some bad with the good, thats true of every squad. They just stand out because they have the numbers and the presence. I say, if you dislike them that much, dont desert the arena. Come help shoot them down.
