An Explanation and Apology

[StormX2]

Its all good as long as you talking down to those damned dirty Orcs and Gobbos!

I wish more people would do the semi RolePlaying racial banter.

Its certainly better than seeing whole warbands saying "Thank You" every time someone gets a Kill in a Keep Defense/Take lol

So what your saying is that we should not be trash talking then? If that is the case, I will definitely not do it anymore.

I know it is the internet, but just put the situation to real life.

If you play against soemone, naturally emotes can go up (although onestly internet gaming simply misses the physical stress or tur eadrenaline rush of a physical engament like)...but at WHAT sport is it acceptable to say something as "you suck" ?
Maybe you can say later with yourfirends "that guy sucks" to vent, but surely not in public and surely not as the action is going on,that is absolutly a bad attitude.

And people saying "it is part of the internet game"...still means you have bad behavior, no grip on yourself and defiently not a grown up behavior.

On the other hand: making a public apology shows some adult behavior.

i just wonder what u guys think about /s taunting.
isn't it kinda dirty fight like throwing sands into eyes to get upper hand ?
making enemy angry to make mistakes so u can have slight advantage
seems to me not fair fight.
some may have other opinion whether it's dirty or not and i want to know others thought
i'm ok with dirty fighting it's your choice
but saying good or respect after dirty fight is little not ok ( just to me )

i've seen many good players who seeing taunt talk as tactic
but never saw who think it's dirty
maybe i'm too naive?

p.s. english is not my native language

if you think Shinto or w/e his name is good, then you have pretty low standards. Just sayin'

Shots fired!

On topic: Banter and taunting is part of the game, no need to apologise for that. If you get called out for that by the local carebear department please remind them that this is not wow.

In my opinion, cross-faction smack talk is an absolute must.

Stop playing Order, scrub.

You suck, Destruction.

You do not have the right to abuse the other side in chat nor refer to those who take exception as "carebears" or any other derogatory name.

Terms of use, everyone should note the first general rule.

Not pointing fingers and also not abusing anyone.

I was there, in that WB. "Under fire" might be overstating it a little bit, it was one person who thought saying "you suck" was over their line. But I get what you mean. I think your intent was good, it just came across as more of a personal attack than fun game rivalry. My own comfort level was fine with it, though I wouldn't have said that, I would have made rude/silly comments about greenskins or shammies. But that's me. This is all just a game and I actually have more fun joking with the other faction while trying to kill them.

On a related note, Pentagrasmus is Shinto? Cool! He was a colossal pain in the ass back on Badlands. Anomandar taught me to watch my positioning the hard way and made me a better player. Shebali was great at killing me until I got the gear and RR to shrug off even a great WE attack. Fun to remember those names. Hope to see some out there as I level.
