483 [KRAB] MaxL_1023 Members 949 posts 7,418 battles Report post #1 Posted January 30, 2018 I am an Elitist. I believe that if you are better at WoWS, you should get rewarded. More wins, more credits and exp, more flags and special consumables, and access to additional content such as pennants, premium camouflages and event rewards. I believe that if you choose to play a competitive game mode (Randoms, Ranked and CB) you implicitly accept any criticism of your play, whether valid or not. You should always make an effort to improve, considering any and all advice, weighting it based on the source and results it brings. I believe that if you wish to play in an environment where performance expectations do not exist, you should play Co-Op battles and Training Rooms. Operations count as random battles, as significant rewards and penalties to earnings exist based on success and failure. If you want to play in a competitive environment, accept that you will run into competitive people. We are human, we get angry, we might attack your play. It is text on a computer screen - just ignore it and move on. If it is unjustified, we are in the wrong - take that knowledge and go to the next battle. If you make a mistake, accept it, acknowledge it and learn from it. If you don't think you made a mistake, look at the results. If they win more games than you, they are probably right. Results matter in the end, and with a large enough sample size statistics converge to the true result of your play. If you don't want to improve, take advice, or honestly believe you are not subject to the above - there is nothing I can do. I will keep criticizing your play within the limits of the terms and conditions of the community. These ships fought in SALT water after all. Elite players earn their rewards and accolades. Everyone gets the same chance, plays the same game in the same ships. If you accomplish more, you deserve more. Everyone gets enough to enjoy the game anyways, so what is the problem? This makes me an Elitist. Keelhaul me. 8 1 5 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4,521 [WOLF7] awiggin Members 12,620 posts Report post #3 Posted January 31, 2018 Riddle me this Mr elitist.... Why would elitists play a game that's filled with casual players? I mean other than to beat up on them and stroke your ego? Isn't that kind of like a Alabama football player going to the local high school and getting into a pick-up game? Personally I'd be embarrassed to take such an attitude in a ftp, massively casual game, but I guess it takes all kinds... WG forces players into random with events, they force players to throw team play out the window in pursuit of rewards and they don't seem to care whether or not they can actually compete.. So you you want to cry over random teams, perhaps you should start at the top? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
483 [KRAB] MaxL_1023 Members 949 posts 7,418 battles Report post #4 Posted January 31, 2018 I play WoWS and played WoT because I was good at them. That includes the effects of whatever the playerbase is - I honestly doubt there is that big of a difference between multiplayer games as a whole anyways. People are people - they are all drawing from basically the same pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Why? Because you're going to get into a fight. Just because there are no direct repercussions from insulting people and teams doesn't mean you should. If you're mad at your team go back to port or close the game, don't start insulting people because it's going to do absolutely nothing to improve their gameplay. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

944 Gavroche_ Members 2,304 posts 11,472 battles Report post #13 Posted January 31, 2018 I don't think you should get better access to modules and ships because you do better. Flags, maybe. They are a decent award for a well played game (or a detonation...), but I think it's pretty dumb to have reward ships better than the tech tree versions. For example, if ever there's a T9 ranked why bother bringing in a DD that's not Black? Also, ships like Belfast and Lo Yang ruin ranked, but that's another story...

Operations count as random battles, as significant rewards and penalties to earnings exist based on success and failure. I don't get how you include Operations as Random Battles? It does appear to be true that, like Random matches, winning or loosing an Operations match will draw greater rewards that comparable wins in Co-Op matches (and the training room gives nothing either way). But what penalties are you referring too? I haven't suffered a penalty in any match of up to T6 any any mode. I cannot speak to higher tier Randoms. Perhaps there is a significant penalty at T7 and above that occur in Random matches, I don't know...yet. If so then, perhaps, you should claim an elite position because you play only T7 and above as well as your other statements. As to "performance expectations". Isn't that something that is unique to the individual? Is Elitism a good thing for this game? Any game? 54 minutes ago, MaxL_1023 said: It improved mine. I have only ever learned from being insulted in one way or another - must be a mental illness or something. This is either a flippant response or a very sad thing. Haven't you ever driven yourself internally? Consider my example above regarding performance expectations. Haven't you ever looked at your stats and used those as a metric for improvement rather than the bullying of others? Or is that why you asked to be Keelhauled?

I believe I"ll accept all criticism critically, and if it's not valid then the person who delivered it can take a long walk off a short pier, stats be hanged. If a broken clock can be right twice a day, the best player can be wrong about the game no matter what results they normally achieve. And if the deliverer is a jerk about it, they can just keep their criticism.
