Funnily enough, that's exactly what I used to do - help people get better in fighters. I have always used ego baiting to screen out those who are worth my time in helping; one must be willing to put aside ego because that's what it takes.
That strategy worked well when there were many more players than today. You might argue, why continue the strategy today and you just answered it,- it's still valid. I even saw Zapkin make a similar comment in the video posted here. I will help anyone who sincerely asks, and as for the rest, I'll continue to step on their egos.
My strategy and rationale has remained consistent. All I ever do is toss out ego-hurting comments, "dweebs, slobberdonkeys, geldings, castrati, hordemonkey, hoboi, gunbunny, locusts and losers when these situations occur: coming at me and running to help/ack because you got reversed, coming at me to only joust one pass haul ass, coming at me when I am engaged having a fun fight with someone and being the 3,4,th one in for the pick, flying in overwhelming numbers needlessly lessening fun. What do those situations have in common? A lack of effort and willingness to get better. It goes directly to what I've already said about game integrity.
You must be seeing (on ch2 and vox as well) the insults that are hurled my way that have nothing to do with game play. This isn't anything new, what's new is that these very same people and a few others like PTBoP (he thinks i don't see him) who are mashing that manbaby button, not out of offense, but as a method of griefing me because I stepped on their egos with terms that are far from being offensive.
No one is ever forced to respond to anything I say. Yet you have numerous people I don't even engage with jumping on my ankle with insults and baiting and abusing the .rpt. I'm sure you've seen me go on about how I don't like hypocrites, especially a clique of them.
So, if you really want help, put aside your ego and ask, doesn't even have to be me really - I can name several players offhand who would be willing to help you - none of them are bish regulars, which is part of the problem, really.
Let me ask you - did you watch the video?
<edit: oh, and I actually have helped players recently with tactical tips and others with more general knowledge that doesn't seem to get shared - this is where the .rpt abuse becomes bs as it stops me from helping those who are asking for it. And I have never, ever claimed or presented myself as being the best. Ever. This is what I mean about people projecting things onto me. Why do people focus on my words, not my actions?>
Shane, I don't dislike you, nor do I think your always wrong. On occasion you bring up some good points. What I see is you get on an issue and you beat the horse till its dead, then you beat it until the body is gone. That obsession drives me to squelch you. Let your flying skills speak for themselves, you don't need to tell everyone your the best or declare how you are the only player with integrity. Actions speak louder than words.
Your flying skills, from my unskilled position, would benefit a lot of us that struggle with air to air tactics and ACM. If I'm in a fighter, for the most part, I am just flying bait. I know that I don't need you, or anyone else for that matter, telling me that. What I need is for you, if your so inclined, to tell me what I am doing wrong and help me improve my flying skills.
There, rant over. I wish you the best.
