    AAAAANNNNDDDDD... off we go!

    90% of the community: "Shut up DeadEye. Nobody cares."
    DeadEye: "You guys are obsessed with me." "I don't play to win, even though I do."
    Shammas: "In competitive games..."
    bcdjacko: "[Insert comment that doesn't have anything to do with anything.]"
    Billy Rueben: "*Banned due to posting this*"
    Admin: "Thread Locked!"

    There, I just saved us two days worth of time wasting bullshit. Moving on!

    I would've complained, but I don't feel this thread could be any more productive, anyway.

    you forgot the part just before the bcdjacko post, where i try to make everybody realize that this order of events happens way too much, and nobody has to rage and flame and troll and get aggressive over one specific person and everything he says.

    you also forgot the part before the admin locks the thead, when he says something benevolent torwards productivity and agression in this thread before he bans and locks.

    and finally, and most importantly, you forgot the part where i laugh my *** off. i think that pretty much happens between every single stage of progression when these threads follow this path. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    but nah, this thread has came to a conclusion. plus, its in off-topic. so everyone do whatever your testosterone compels you to do.

    conclusion:

    ~people who want to win will do anything sometimes. we call this tryhard mode.
    ~people who play for fun sometimes complain about this. people who complain also sometimes conform to this. we call this "putting on tryhard pants"
    ~people can play to win honorably, in which case they dont want to seem cheap by shooting through walls
    ~games and balance can be complicated
    ~sometimes to try to balance more, people get angry at certain aspects that actually were balanced and swing banhammers that actually create less balance. (i.e. dont nerf classes to make them TOO weak)
