Leaving For Good...

[Egossi 1017]

I'm going to give a couple reason on why I am going...

- The community can be toxic, people hardly have anything good to say, either snarky or sarcastic in a non-humorous way.

I think I know what you mean. People acting in a "snarky or sarcastic in a non-humorous way" or, as I like to call it, acting like assholes, was something I wasn't totally prepared for when I was first playing xG. I heard a lot of shit over the mic on TGH, and it really used to piss me off. There were certain members who just irritated me with their ignorance and incompetence. There are even staff members who I've nearly sent PMs asking them to stop acting ignorant, culturally insensitive, or just super sarcastic while on duty on an xG server.

But you know what? I accepted that people will always act this way to some extent on the internet, and many of the people who used to bother me have already adjusted their behavior accordingly.

 

Like people are saying, if you ever feel like someone's going too far and outright harassing you, you can always talk to one of the many staff members.

There's always almost someone online, you know.

 

- Peers who are apart of this community have repetitively attempted to troll me via steam, it actually gets aggravating.

Yeah this happens to me too. :p

This is honestly just completely your responsibility. When they send to messages via steam, it's all private. It's a personal conversation between two individuals, NOT an issue of public trolling on an xG server. You have power to just end the conversation. No one else has that power and therefore the responsibility of dealing with it.

If you don't like it, remove them from your friends list.

 

- I haven't been playing that much anyways, only once a month.

WHAT? If you've only been playing once a month, why the fuck does any of this even matter?

Dude, what if you just had bad luck and ran into some trollers who just joined the server for the first time?

You're giving 9 reasons why you're leaving xG based on an incredibly narrow scope of gameplay. :thinking:

- This isn't 4chan and stop trying to act like it is. (If you play on here enough, you'll get what I mean.)

No... I don't get what you mean.

Feel free to explain what you mean, though.

- Random players are getting harassed because the ignorant people, that can't find my profile somehow think that I am them.

What? Randoms on the server are being harassed by more experienced but "ignorant" players who think that they are somehow you?

That makes NO SENSE. I think you just misspoke here, I get it.

Go ahead and elaborate on this because I am thoroughly confused. :wut: wut

- I can't even use my mic on here anymore without someone saying something.

Well, I should hope someone would respond to me when I ask for something over the mic rather than ignoring me.

But seriously, you probably mean that people immediately backlash at you when you say something, right?

Well, either they are trollers and you should just ignore them, OR they have a valid point and you are the one in the wrong.

 

Again, that's a personal problem unless they are actually harassing you in which case you can, again, talk to a staff member.

- Another thing I forgot to list too, is that I am pretty much (maybe) quitting TF2 all together. I've been playing for 5 years straight and I still have the skill level of a toddler. I'm not sure if it's my mental endurance or my set up but either way, I suck. What's the point on trying to be good at something you can't. Maybe it's the fact that I main as spy or sniper. But either way, my reaction time and my k/d ratio is off the charts awful.

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm a sniper main myself, and it can be either very frustrating or very satisfying. I'm not good either, I played TF2center twice and I doubt I'll ever be playing again. I learned just how bad I was even with nearly 1000 hours in the game.

But you know what? The whole point of xG's servers is that you don't have to be good to play them. You don't have to be good to have a fun time, either. That's kinda what I like about xG.

But yeah, I get sick of it too. I totally understand your choice if you do quit TF2.

I'll quit too, some day.

 

That's all, wish you all luck if you choose to stay on here.

Well man, sorry to see you go on such negative emotions. :/

However, to be honest, most of your post and reasons for leaving xG/quitting TF2 sound a lot like you're just simply sick of the game and ready to move on. I've been there too, that's how I moved on to xG after over four years of doing everything possible in Minecraft.

If that's the case, go ahead and say so instead of listing off a bunch of reasons why you think xG sucks based on one-day-a-month gameplay.

 

And finally, if you feel like I made an assumption where I should't have, let me know.

I don't want to act like an asshole, either. :p

 

Anyways, good luck out there man. (y)

Not sure why I wrote all this crap, maybe it's because I could relate with some of what you said.
