The world is full of all types of people and personalities. Not everyone thinks the same. As we see here a mixed bag of responses from various folks. From the over analyzed gamer types, to the simple "it was probably a joke".

Some people don't like compliments it makes them feel uneasy and awkward, just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. We come from all walks of life, background and upbringing. What one person takes a compliment some could take it as insult. Without actual voice chat in most situations on the game it is very difficult to discern someones tone, manor, or meaning. We are not all the same person.

I'm not saying that was the situation, just pointing out the diversity of people and personalities that play this game, and how interpretation is dealt with.
