Aythreuk, I'd like to draw your attention to #1 and #4.
Every time an experienced player takes a newbie under his wing, and teaches him how to play, that's a kindness. Every time a player on a winning team switches to a losing team to balance the teams, that's a kindness. Demanding that players always behave this way ignoring all other circumstances, which include
-Playing with friends
-Playing with teammates
-Playing with vocal partners
-Playing with people you know are cooperative and helpful
is just wrong. The strength of this community is that experienced players frequently provide kindnesses to those who are just beginning or on the wrong side of the battle, but demanding that the kindness becomes a law is absurd. In fairness though, you aren't doing that. You're just blaming literally everyone for an abstract vaguery.
Good day sir.

Squash gets a salute for that.
I like helping new players. If the other team if getting smacked really badly, I'll be one of the first ones to say "Okay guys, I'll lend those people a hand". But sometimes I just want to play with people I know. Simple as that.

Posts like this are why the community isnt that big.
Please provide evidence and explain.

Because anyone with your mindset will be doing the same thing, posting on the forums, claiming regular players are killing the game somehow, instead of actually playing the game.
--- Quote --- Problem is you just missed the fact they won 5-4 against us in a very good match.
That definitely isn't normal, not sure why you would post that.
--- End quote ---
Because you decided to post our match as an example. They won because they learned, changed strategies, and beat us. Not come onto the forum and point fingers at the loyal fanbase of GOIO.
--- Quote --- No one is forcing you to press the ready button. The title of the match is not "New player game!"
Quite often there will only be two-three matches up at all. And when one of those is Asian and another is European, my options are very limited. Me and my friend actually did what you said a few times this week. We didn't hit the ready button, had to just go play something else.
--- End quote ---
Good. And just because a server is not located in your area does not make it unplayable. I play on Euro and Asian servers all the time. While only US servers would be nice, its not always feasible.
--- Quote --- Stacked teams is a poor excuse for not learning from defeats.
Quote the part where I don't learn from my defeats.
--- End quote ---
The moment you logged onto the servers and posted this thread instead of playing the game.
--- Quote --- Just because 11k people bought the bundle does not mean they bought it for GOIO either
I knew this point would come up, feel free to knock off a few thousand from that number, it doesn't really affect it that much.
--- End quote ---
I would be tickled to death if 9k people bought that bundle for GOIO. The sale before this, with only GOIO on sale, only got us ~1k. Thats not all in one region either, so its spread out.
--- Quote ---but whining about stacked teams will not make you a better GOIO player.
You can say that I was whining, you're clearly going to say what you want regardless. I'd like to believe I was simply informing you of the reasons why your community is small and didn't grow at all much in that huge sale.
--- End quote ---
You would of been worried then if you think this is somehow low. We could barely scrape together one match at non-peak hours. The community has grown quite nicely despite your reasons for believing it hasnt.
--- Quote ---I knew posting here would bring about these kinds of responses, due to the fact that only veterens will search the forums, and veterans probably don't like having their attention brought to these facts. Basically, my thread was doomed from the beginning.
Maybe I'm illogical.
--- End quote ---
We invite everyone to the forums. Ive met plenty of new players through this medium. Not everyone wants or cares to look at forums and participate in the comunity in a bigger way. To think all your posts are useless is illogical. However, it is also illogical to think the loyal fanbase will not give its opinion when falsely accused of hanging new players by their necks just to shrink a community.

I'm sorry, but you're in no position to judge the growth of the community. It wasn't that long ago that I was getting seriously worried about the size of the game's community. The recent influx of players from various promotions has reignited the game. I hadn't seen 300 players online since... Well... When the game launched in October.

I'm allowed to have any opinion I like actually. Unless you wish to exercise your powers as a moderator and silence my opinion.
My opinion, at its core is that this community could of benefited more from the big sales if the veterans didn't stack together constantly. Problem?

Go ahead, keep stacking. I'm not "demanding" that you guys stop stacking. rofl, I'm just gonna play other things. Thought you'd like to know what you're doing wrong though.
--- Quote from: Aythreuk on March 05, 2013, 10:04:33 pm ---This may surprise you, but playing against your pals is actually still a form of playing with them.

I never said that you didn't have the right to an opinion. That's just misquoting for the sake of misquoting. I said that you are not informed enough to understand the growth that the community has seen recently. Nothing to do with opinions.
And please don't suggest out of nowhere that I would censor what you say. That would be against the mod rules, and would be plainly stupid. I don't even have mod powers in this section.
