There’s most certainly a ME in TEAM.
Man…what is it with people on online games these days. Either they dont want to hear out your advice, or just don’t want to work as a team in a team based game in general.
For example, for the last couple weeks, I’ve taken up Grand Chase, probably the first MMO I’ve ever played and liked a lot. Now when people do stupid things, like try to repeatedly jump and attack a flying creature that goes higher than you can jump, instead of playing patient and waiting for it to come to them, they don’t want to take helpful advice until they’ve wasted literally 2-3 minutes of BOTH our lives striking out swinging at a freakin Harpy. In a game like Grand Chase, you can get away with the Rambo attitude from time to time, but in other games where you have to work as a team, that kind of shit really gets you nowhere.
Another example. Shooters. I played left 4 dead online a bit last week, and sadly, my session didn’t last long. Its like you can’t enjoy the game unless you play with a group of your friends. I dropped into a couple of random campaigns and got the assholes who like to steal your health pack, and expect you to be the grand master of all and beast yor way through the map. Or the type of asshole that likes to run WAY ahead of the group and get you mobbed with horde after horde after horde, and not care to the point where they’re slamming doors in people’s faces.
I mean, come on gamers, is it THAT hard to work as a team with people you’ve never met before? Jesus.
