However, I would like to talk about some of the people who play this mod and about their attitudes.
After already stating that I was new in the game, there was a player who did nothing but insult and trash for the most part of the game. I was wanting to know, other than the steam overlay, is there a way of reporting these people? I mean, with a revolutionary mod such as this, that keeps the game going as well as trying to develop a strong community, one would think they would like to keep it clean and be able to prevent people like that from playing the game.
For one, it deters newer players, such as myself, from wanting to play. This isn't to state that I'm not going to play any more, but to emphasize that people such as this deserve no less than some form of warning system. Even if the player isn't new, it would still deter people from wanting to get involved with the community. In this way, people who stand and trash talk most of the game, they hinder the already dwindling community.
Another issue is that it is just bad to the community as a whole. Seeing a community that is trying to grow and become a solid foundation to attract players of all varying skill levels, one would assume that they would like to keep the community trimmed to have, though small, a solid foundation in which people can come and have fun. Being an experienced RTS player, I have met many kinds of people, and will say that so far, this community is a great community. I would hate to see this community become something like a small LoL or SC2 community with nothing but trashing.
And lastly, it's just bad manners. People who usually trash talk like that only do it just because they can against newer players. I'm not saying that most veteran players go around trash talking and stomp pubs, but what is being said is, if a person is going to play against a newer player, then they need to be willing to learn to cooperate with everyone. Courtesy such as saying "good game" or "good luck" is just a standard in most gaming today. These manners are set to establish stronger basis and wanting newer people to come and hopefully keep the game alive as long as possible.
To conclude this, I am not stating that most of the community is bad, but that I could see minor holes in it that can be patched. Keeping bad manners out of games is a huge step in establishing a stronger basis to help any game. This game is a wonderful game and has a ton of fun people to talk and play with, but it would be nice to find a system, other than Steam, to try to weed these players out and keep them out if possible.
P.S. I love this mod to death. I am also looking for somewhat newer people to play with, so whoever would like to play with me, just post on this thread.
