After a good game I send other players that I saw doing a good job a gg. Now what bugs me is when I get nothing in return from anyone that was in the same squad. I send 2-3 people a gg in a squad and what do I get in return, silence. At least send me a F*** off. I have had someone send me one of these and I asked why. They said they felt I was picking on them and targeting them specifically. I told them I wasn't and it was all coincidence, I hate all reds and try to kill you equally. We had a good laugh and squaded afterwards. So my question is when you get a gg, do you reply and if you do not why you dont you reply?

Does that matter? I am just asking out of curiosity. What happened to being nice, oh that's right in an online game being a **** is encouragable.

interesting. so how would you tell someone they did well. Trying to figure out a very PC way of saying you did well without coming off as an asshat or douche.

GG can have two diferent meanings.
The good sportsmanship meaning "good game",
And the more commen "get gud" meaning.
They probably think you are saying "get gud", insalting there skills and stating you generly don't like them.
I advise you write out the full "good game" instead of just gg.
I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

I don't usually send a gg but when someone does a good job of killing me I send them a gg, I have gotten hate mail and I just responded with why are you getting so worked up over the fact that I killed you a few times, it's not my fault we were in the same places and I spotted you first |

If it was a good match, I'll compliment their performance.
If it was after a stomp, they're just up their own arse and I'll ignore it.
If I had to hunt them in the redline, I'll compliment their bravery.
No.

I always respond and, usually comment on something that I thought they did well on. Like keeping pressure on a point or an impressive shot. I have had some pretty nice conversations with some folk this way.
Sometimes it's easy to think that you were ineffective sometimes, even when you impacted the outcome of the game. I don't mind letting people know how they did well.

GG = get gud is actually a thing? I thought that was just a regnum thing...
I respond but usually with something simple like "same to you" or "likewise".
on the incredibly rare occasion that I send a GG I type out the reason in the body and send it with a million isk present.

most recently it was a shotty scout that got a GG
the match was horridly stacked it was like 16v6 with a full keq squad on the 16 side and the shot gunner on the side with 6, he shot me in the back while i had my map open, I switched out to a nova knife fit cause nobody gets away with that insult. after 3 more very good fights (nova knife v shotgun) it stood 3-1 me. but he was always playing the objective and trying to cap points for his team even though they didn't have a prayer in hell of winning.
that's the sort of play that will get you a GG from me.

I usually get frustrated with the game mechanics. With dying several billion times. With Tanks being spammed and not being able to kill them because I get killed by infantry when I'm in my AV and by Tanks when I'm in my infantry fit.
So receiving a GG is not what I want to see when I lose. When I win I don't care because I'm an arrogant prick so I don't care about receiving a GG then either...
Maybe that's how other people feel?

Yea, I don't know really. If I'm sending a GG mail, I'm sincere. Not trying to be condescending or an asshat. Yet, it seems some take it that way. For shame.

Typing with the controller is a pain in the ass. It's not a big deal, anyway.
Why does the lack of reply bother you? Maybe try not being bothered by it. It'll be tough, but I have hope for your success in this endeavor.

I always get a GG from Atiim for some reason.
I don't really send mail ever unless it's "important". To receive a GG from me requires someone doing something incredible enough to catch my attention and making me laugh.

That being said I always send mail to guys whom are actually talented and play a good game.

Wow I didnt realize that there are still some polite people out there
I often talk to the people I play with about the need to be more polite and less of an ass, but the prevalent attitude of young gamers is "Im king **** and its funny to make other people angry" so you never see good mail its always sarcastic or just straight up rude.
So in closing I tip my hat to you sir please keep spreading that good attitude and I wish you all the best in your future
It is better to be thought an idiot, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

well either they are butt hurt that you killed them so often, or they just have bad manners or they think you are trying to tell them to Get Good.

I think this is the only game I have ever played where GG implies "get good." I have heard of it used sarcastically before as when it is an utter stomp and it is sent as a "gg, close game *eye roll*" and that kind of thing but never as a "get good." I think people might be reaching a little bit by implying it means such a thing every time they get such a message. I generally don't reply to messages because I am an anti-social basement dweller unless it is literally hate mail, in which case I generally include something like "If I didn't know any better, I would say you are trying to hurt my feelings." |
