Is this kind of behavior acceptable in GOIO?

Want to know the difference between a gold nugget and a bad player? The gold nugget player listens, responds, and asks questions. I just recruited an entire crew the other day. All of them new players with less than a week of play time. Some even on their first day. All because they did these simple things.

So yeah, guy goes berserk at him that isn't really warranted, but he's clearly joined as a 2nd gunner on a Goldfish. Instead of stating right away it is his first time he just highlights it in his vid as like lol why so serious?! That does not scream a first time player to me. That screams a player that doesn't care and is borderline trolling. I have no patience or mercy for trolls. So cry me a river, I'm not going to put up with it.

Gryphos:
I think that, bottom line:

Rugerfred went way overboard with the level of verbal abuse thrown at PBG and should have approached the situation in a much more friendly and accepting way, realising that PBG was probably inexperienced. The non-stop screaming and insulting is inexcusable.

But... PBG should have also made sure to make it perfectly clear that he was inexperienced so as to attract a little more sympathy. And, if he didn't know exactly how to communicate, he should have looked it up in the options menu beforehand, seeing as communication is key in any multiplayer game.

It does go both ways, you need to make an effort to learn if you want to be taught.

WhiteWeasel:
Ok, PBG was a bit slow to start (If he wasn't new to the game how would he have known a 2nd gunner is bad?), however verbal abuse like that can't possibly be less worse. Albeit annoyed, I usually brush it off. But to put it simply compared to Team fortress or Starcraft our player base is really small. Upside people know eachother better, downside trolls have a larger impact by damaging an already small player retention.

That's why I'm a bit more vocal about these kinds of people here then mentioned above.

that goldfish pilot reminds me of me in the early days ...im better now.  when u help  train someone  they seems to stick around you and u might even gain a powerful ally in the future.
