As to the OP - the correct thing to do as others have said is just block. Most of the bad attitudes are picked up as a conditioned reflex in other games and people who enjoy that kind of interaction probably won't stay in this game .

The many that I saw that acted that way in the last huge influx with that totalbiscuit thing...Iunno...
Anyways, many of them left after facing the "elitists" because...well stacked teams on that matter I guess...

And the others got to level 5 acting like that, and I haven't seen many of those again.  I do remember them gloating about achievement farming....

just a clarification - I don't look on high level players as being elitist.

And yes I've met a few bad pennies around the level 3-5 mark too but they don't seem to stay on in the game, given that the game culture of GoI isn't welcoming to braggadoccio and predatory behaviour.

Damn, **** just got real!

As to the topic, yes, there has been an influx of bad eggs recently. Every time someone popular on YouTube or whatever gives us a signal boost, a mass of new players hits us, often not truly knowing what they're getting into. It seems about only a third of these newer players stay and confirm to the Guns of Icarus society. The others either lose interest and stop playing, or get upset when they see they can't play well without the help of others/requires strategy.

I think that's a valid point, and something that I see from time to time, albeit somewhat rarely. Players who think they can just charge into a ship with whatever idea is in their head, work alone, and get kills. It can be frustrating on both ends, because from our perspective, here is a player who will actively resist what strategy we give and just sort of do their own thing, and from their perspective, "WHY ARE THESE GUYS TAKING SO LONG I KNOW WHAT TO DO I GOT MY AMMO I PWN AT COD THESE N00BS JUST DONT KNOW *foams at the mouth*"

I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea. I think more often than not, however, I do see players who want to learn but they see lobbies with a lot of high numbers and they're afraid to ask questions, and I feel they get frustrated when they lose or when they don't understand what's going on in the bigger picture. I like it when a lower level player takes the ammo I tell them to bring, but I like it more when they say "Why that ammo for that gun?" I feel like I'm helping to forge a better player xD
