To people who Que up and ignore objectives / call outs

[Gember]

1. They don't read the chat, or have chat turned off.

2. They think their strat is more important/better than pugs.

3. They focus on the team attacking them instead of looking at the scoreboard to see which team they need to focus on first. How many times I've seen two teams just butting heads and the 3rd team just wins because they ate all of the nodes with little to no resistance? too much

4. Revenge... yes I've seen it. They look for that one dragoon that goon'ed them and just b-lines to them into oblivion. Not smart, but heckavah hilarious to watch.

5. The big group of teammates are over there, so everyone is going to hang over there, and not over here where they are suppose to be. Its l o g i c to be safe with the group right? (Oh wait, we lost)

6. They don't care, and just go wild. "Why not?" They think. "I don't know how to play this job so I am not gonna take this match seriously at all."


Ya know... our wonderful community.

I ignore "Escort the Crystal", because they are typically made when there's 4 enemies under the crystal who would slaughter us single file if we heeded the call. A much better use for that slot in the command menu is a Mark target macro so we are all on the same target. But that requires more situational and job awareness than just spamming Escort the Crystal to annoy your team mates into losing so the sound ends.

Aye. Sitting in spawn saying "Nice Job" while your teammates throw themselves at the enemy 1v5 over and over again is literally less harmful to the team than what they're doing because at least you're building ult charge. CC has exposed what a bunch of smooth brain soft heads a large chunk of this community really is.

Well, Yukiko is whining about FL and not CC. If you haven't noticed, they whine about FL a *lot.* I feel like they should probably just stop playing it if it angers them to the point that they have to come to some random forums and whine about it frequently.

But I get what you're saying about CC. Keep in mind that spamming chat/intentionally misusing chat to harass others *is* an actionable offense. If you see someone repeatedly use chat to harass other players (particularly if they're one of those dips that uses Target to Ignore markers on teammates), report em. It's a pretty unequivocal thing that GMs can add to a list of offenses. If there's an established pattern of this player acting like this, they'll get thrown into timeout gaol or worse.

I've never noticed a player to get banned, but there two players that I'm aware of that were *constantly* malding in games and spamming quickchat, Target to Ignore, etc. I had to report both of them on multiple separate instances on separate days. Nowadays when I see them, they don't say jack except for an occasional (correctly used) good match and target macros. I'm assuming they got pulled aside and reminded of the behavior standards the ToS expects.

Aye, I've had people get so salty they've come onto my server from another server, send me a snide comment, then block me before I can reply LMAO!

It's just too bad we can't report people for being mentally stunted. I swear a lot of these players should be thrown in a zoo and studied because they're a new breed of stupid.

I often ignore them because they are made by people who have no idea how to play to win. Last time I did Seal Rock I had the same annoying Person in my team for 4 times in a row, who insisted u win by sitting at the nodes and avoid pvp. Needless to say we lost 4 times..

Yeah. Or you get those tactical geniuses that immediately start pumping their multi-line, sound effects macros to tell people to go to the node that just spawned... even when it's across the entire map from the team's current location and is one of an enemy team's "base" nodes. And then another node spawns in an area your team can safely contest a little later, but now you're out of position and feeding that team on the other side of the map, so you miss out on *both* nodes and have fed the enemy team some kills while trying to take a node that they can reach while they still have invulnerability buff.

As far as I'm concerned, for FL you only need one macro - a reminder to open maps and keep checking them frequently during the match, that you use before the game starts. Because anyone that is actually using their map does not need call-outs or flags, because the map will tell them everything they need to know. And if they're too lazy to check the map, they aren't going to bother doing what your macros tell them to do, either. Those call-out macros are just nonsense people do to feel important, they don't actually accomplish anything.

I had one dude spam quickchat at me for the entire 2 post-game minutes after a match. I was just looking at the scores and he was spamming while I was doing that, so out of curiosity I decided to stick around and see if he'd keep going. And he just. kept. going. All the way to the end.

I wonder what kind of chat the GMs had with him.

Do you want to see my long list of PSN messages sent by cowards? Lol
