Things to think about before you call someone "Bad"

I'll make a confession.. i'm a bad player because my cats like to sit in front of the screen and they sometime will roll around my keyboard or mouse..
I will be forgiven, right~?

Of course you'd be forgiven! Such circumstances are understandable - I've been knocked off of platforms or forced to stand in the fire more than once because of my cat suddenly jumping on my lap during an instance. I tell people what happened and they just laugh it off and we try again.

You should be thankful when someone calls you a baddie, because that is the chance for you to realize what you have been doing wrong and correct it. It is those people who keep smiling and nodding at everything you do that you should be wary of.

Okay, I'll bite. When you queue for anything, there are certain standards that are in place. Anything over 50 or so and then the standards are higher (but still extremely lax) and if you got more than 2 rocks to bang together in the bag you got, then you really should be able to figure out that being an ice-mage or some other windowlicker isn't okay. Coddling and defending people who legitimately think they are hot stuff while spamming Blizzard 3 is not only stupid, but also dangerous. This is because you just reinforce their thoughts on how cool they are, and they then pass this misinformation to others, which just makes the situation worse.

Other things to point out, if you are playing an online game, you really really shouldn't be surprised that someone sometime might be rude towards you. Grow a thicker skin.

Also this is the most ridiculous thing I've seen on the forums, so hats off for that. Now, going deeper in to this one, say we play tennis doubles, me and you in the same team, against who ever. And instead of me trying to play properly at my level, I would just whack you with my racket to the head over and over cause its "more fun" that way. Would you defend my clearly extremely bad play even if it "isn't optimal" and actively hinders our play or would you tell me to stop being an idiot?

Wait. There was logic in that post?

You tell me. It's implicit in your statement, "By your logic..." Thus if you are now telling me that there was none, that would suggest you were lying originally.

I suppose we can add sarcasm to the list of things you have no understanding of...

Keep digging that hole though. It's comedy gold at this point.

Guys, guys it's just a game


that I may play with 3/7/23 other people

I don't need to git gud, gawd

the other 3/7/23 others will pick up the slack for me


I could take the time to get used to my UI with a dummy or if I'm sick, I just play solo or not play at all

but the shit I got to do is group content so tough luck for everybody else.

Just love how embracing the victim mentality has become a norm everywhere.Instead of improving and strive for more, better to make up excuses and ruin everyone else quality time.
Either you learn from someone giving feedback (bad is feedback btw, not insult) and asking for more on what you did wrong , better to make up excuses . That works to a point and it will dry up pretty fast (cry wolf).

We are not here to play the saint card and pretend you're ok when you're clearly not fit to run certain content or even trying to comprehend why someone calls you bad .

My 2 cents.

before calling someone "bad", ask yourself what is the meaning of "bad", is it the same as the player you are about to call so?
