If I see conspicuously strong play I'll usually compliment on the spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

635 [THICC] LuckyStarFan Beta Testers 1,251 posts 8,316 battles Report post #5 Posted August 1, 2016 I quit a lot of games when I die, so I often miss anyone playing well enough to compliment. To get a compliment you have to do something skillful/helpful within my field of view, so it just doesn't happen often. That and there is little incentive to compliment.

33 [WK] Pocket_Yorck Members 222 posts 11,667 battles Report post #6 Posted August 1, 2016 I often run out of complements when playing I think it is a good idea to compliment someone for sharing tips to beginners and simply being generally nice people to talk to/play alongside... There has been more than one match where I was in a new ship and after telling my teammates just that they shared some tips to me on using the new ship... very kind of them. Otherwise I will compliment people for being patient with me, providing cover fire, etcetera... I also tend to complement enemies who put up a very good battle. But at the end of the day I do not mind if other people are less inclined to complement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,298 [A-D-F] alexf24 Members 7,879 posts 44,684 battles Report post #8 Posted August 1, 2016 I give compliments to ones that play very well, and the ones that carry, or get a Kraken The one absolute case where I always give a compliment is to a CV driver that parks a fighter near my Ninja DD and renders me ineffective. Rare, but it happens. They get a rec from me for a job well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"useless" is relative, as the in the gran scheme of things, even playing this game can be considered "useless". It's sad to see someone that finds this place and what other people do so "useless" that he has to continue to stick around and tell people how "useless" they are. News flash: You and your degrading comments on everything are just as useless if not more useless than tits on a boar. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,386 [SYN] Camo68 Members 3,775 posts 25,446 battles Report post #11 Posted August 1, 2016 I always give one to any pain in the A$$ enemies if they hounded me through the match. I also give them to players who did something well in the match like spot or defend the base. I don't bother too much with complaints but do hand them out to BBs who end the match on full health not having done much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6,910 [RLGN] Estimated_Prophet Members 19,396 posts 36,204 battles Report post #18 Posted August 1, 2016 Maybe because some of us don't believe in the silly Karma system? Who knows; mine has fluctuated between 5 and 9. Don't think i'm that bad, but I guess bad enough to never stand out and collect + pionts in 4k and change games. Try harder, maybe?! As for me I try to give compliments often. If I've had a game with good cooperation, or one where I think an enemy pulled a good play on me, I'll ofen give compliment points. Complaint points are generally reserved for someone who hacked me off, are thankfully rare, (thank god I have at least that much self-control,) and are generally, if I am honest with myself, undeserved. Rarest of all are points given for someone calling to report a bot. Generally I have better things to use the points on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

63 [PWI] ChaosDrill Banned 551 posts 1,839 battles Report post #20 Posted August 1, 2016 You earn the +1s if it's actually good. If there's biased reviews that the writers can't take criticism and report you for it then they don't deserve it. Also if the writers constantly make poor posts for the sake of +1s that's bad to.

I may have made it my personal mission to burn that French ship to the water line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
