Edited by H0RSE: 8/6/2014 7:03:23 AMdon't know if you guys are trolling or just not comprehending this... [quote]When did dancing on a corpse become a sport,[/quote] It didn't, but it is gloating, which is unsportsmanlike, and I already explained where that gets you in my book... [quote]Good thing video games aren't a sport :)[/quote] Well technically, they can be considered a sport - every hear of esports? But this isn't the point. The point in me mentioning pro sports, was to show that if this kind of behavior results in being penalized in a professional competition, then it is obviously not looked at as simply "just having some fun." I grew up playing online MP back in the days when Quake and UT reigned supreme. My games of choice were RTCW and W:ET, and I played competitively. It was a time where people said "gg" after a round and actually meant it. Where compliments were given for good performance, rather than shit talking and excuses, and teabagging was virtually nonexistent, and when it did occur, it was looked down upon, not embraced like it is now. I play with a code of honor. I don't gloat, I don't shit talk, I don't teabag, I don't rage quit, and I don't send messages to players filled with curse words and insults. I don't even use knives in FPS games unless it is my last resort, because I see using knives in shooters as dishonorable. "Never bring a knife to a gunfight." You wanna kill me, do it with a gun. I keep to myself and I play the game. I acknowledge good players with a "gg" in their mailbox, and sometimes even invite them to my friendslist.

What he's trying to say is his code of ethics is vastly different from the average gamer (especially nowadays). Besides, he's not even reporting anyone, just avoiding the ones that (to him) lessen his experience of gaming. Do many people see this as a dull and boring way of life? Would you want to almost kill and t-bag yourself in the agony of such a monotonous gameplay where where humour does not exist? Well yes, but dammit, he still has the right to play however he wants. In all seriousness though everyone really does have the right to try and create the experience they want while gaming, and if in the process it hurts no one else, why should anyone care? But hey, this is the internet, where everyone cares about completely useless things...

Edited by H0RSE: 8/6/2014 5:54:15 PMthank you for this. However, I will respond to this: [quote]Would you want to almost kill and t-bag yourself in the agony of such a monotonous gameplay where where humour does not exist? Well yes, but dammit, he still has the right to play however he wants.[/quote] Humor comes in a variety of forms. To assume that when I play, it is devoid of fun/humor, perhaps says more about you. Perhaps my personality isn't so dull, that I need things like teabagging to have a good laugh or extrude any sort of enjoyment from gaming.

Actually I just forget that sarcasm doesn't always come off properly when written. I was trying to make a statement that by your overly serious replies that is how the majority of others who are somehow entertained by every dick/fart joke perceive you. I thought the rest of my message made it obvious I didn't actually feel that way, but its cool. I still think my main point got across and I hope you, and honestly the majority of people that play destiny (that aren't trying to just ruin the experience for others) enjoy this new world in whatever way they see fit for themselves. After all, life is about the journey, not the destination.

Edited by H0RSE: 8/6/2014 6:19:03 PMSarcasm is my strong point, and I can usually pick it up. I didn't here...

Well notice the sentence right before that statement you quoted, it went like this: "Do many people see this as a dull and boring way of life?" <--- notice, I said many people, not myself. My opinion before this was obviously contradictory. And then following up the part you quoted, I start a new paragraph with, "In all seriousness though..." So I just thought it was obvious, but I suppose you are right, it could have been taken either way without further clarification. Anyway, perhaps I'll see you in Destiny, and though it is possible you may see me t-bagging, it won't be you, because the ones I do it to, are the ones that already did it to me, in mutual retribution. That or a particular npc that's really pissed me off, haha, though usually I do prefer the 'victory dance' nowadays, which I usually do break out the moves with my fellow guardians after we finish a tough strike.

I'm trolling you bro. You shouldn't feel the need to prove anything to a stranger online. I understand the need for order in the competitive market but let's be honest, do you really expect 10 to 14-year-old kids to not get on multiplayer and not trash talk or teabag? My generation did it with Halo 2 and maybe Halo 3 as well as Call of Duty 4. It happens but most people grow out of it.

Omg it must be a joy to be around with you.

Teabagging is for newbs who cant win gracefully.

Edited by Kimikaro: 8/6/2014 6:40:17 AMI agree with ya brianO, these are games not a real life sport. gloating happens all the time in games, can either spur you on to do better or make you go crying foul and apparently reporting/ avoiding people lol.
