In the mains, you kill them where you find them. No quarter given. No apologies required. Next time someone pipes up with a rant like that, report them.
Lol, report them? Why, unless you report every bit of swearing you hear. If you don't, it boils down to you using their swearing as an
excuse to report them, only because they struck a nerve when they call you a "f***ing gang-banging skilless tard". Really, whenever I see people trying to defend the hoarding, and the picking, all I see is a guilty conscience. "Expect it to happen, you're in the MA" only means "I feel like I have the right to interupt your fun", no more and no less.
In the many occasions when I was in a MA 1v1 and the *con's* team mate jumped in, no one asked me if it was "OK". I just dealt with it. No complaining. Certainly no swearing.
This is ENTIRELY irrelevent. The con shouldn't have asked you before jumping in, he should have asked the other con. And the onus was on your first opponent to ask not to be interupted, it wasn't on you. To be honest, that you feel the need to say "look how well I handle things", especially when the situations aren't the same, or even comparable, makes me suspect you have a guilty conscience lurking somewhere as well.
And even if the situations were comparable, all it shows is that you haven't gotten to the point where you notice the scarcity of those truely good fights, and feel annoyed when they are cut short, and that you're a bit colder than most people. It doesn't say your method of opperation is better, it doesn't say that at all.
Same deal when a team mate jumps in. Many times this has happened. Not once have I complained. Some seem to think I should have. I didn't and I won't though. Often as not when my team mate jumped in it enabled *me* to get the kill. Especially when my ride was inferior to the con's. I appreciated the help. But if my team mate got the kill then great. I am a team player.
And herein lies the crux of our discussion. Essentially we just have two conflicting points of view on what is most important. One group says its the fight itself, and more specifically the QUALITY of the fight that matters, with the outcome being meaningless. Then we have the opposite, where the outcome is primarily or entirely what matters, and how they reach that end does not factor into their thoughts.
Personally, I feel like you shouldn't form your opinion based on reading the opinions of others. You should try flying both ways for a good while, and decide
on your own which is for you.
I will also say if you're in an inferior aircraft, and you're trying to shoot down as many red guys as possible, as quickly as possible, while 'helping your team', then you're trying to do it wrong. However, that you're flying inferior aircraft also give me some hope for you. You'll start improving, flying better, and lasting longer. You'll start recognizing the good fights from the average and the mediocre, and you'll appreciate them as such.
Lastly, if you want to be a team player, find a squadron to fly with, and make them your home. If you're furballing, or just out fighting, then the only purpose those 'teammates' of yours serve is to act as distractions, so that you can get a guns solution on that spitfire, and to keep you from being the only target for the enemy horde. To that end, they're interchangable, and when that happens in a group, its hard to call that group a team.
