My feeling is that this is a problem with human nature.
You could power up sniping and that would help with the competitive game, but it would encourage player laziness in pubs as seen here.
As the vast majority of games ARE pubs, is it not better to simply throw the role of sniping under the bus for the time being?
The only real fix I see is that if one team is displaying such incredible levels of incompetence, games need to end faster. |

I think sniping is for gimps.
Lately, I've been squadding up and realized that a LOT of children play Dust 514, and a LOT of adolescents and adults simply don't have the skills to compete on the battlefield so they choose sniping.
My plea to you: If you're going to troll snipers, please troll the enemy snipers, not friendlies.
But still, what you did is awesome! What does children VS adults have to do with competing on the field If I may ask? Children may not have any depth of insight into the game, such as the constraints of team resources during battle. They may play from an entirely subjective perspective without an objective overview of what is happening on the field and how they may best contribute to a victory. There is nothing wrong with playing for fun and getting what you want out of the game without regard to anyone else's welfare. The battlefield is punishing enough. If judge wants to punish them further for their actions that is a corrective action made under a set of morals which those subject to it may not share. In other words, anybody can do whatever the hell they want. There is no established code of conduct. That said, Judge can do whatever the hell he wants, hence my plea, derived from strategic insight not to waste other team members' time, despite how insignificant their contribution may look to me.
You said a whole lot to say nothing at all. Even included a couple of fancy words. Good job.

That's a terrible quote. If one was "bound" by desire they would only be able to see what could not be in their hands. Otherwise it wouldn't be desire, it would be fulfillment. |

You made a leap in logic to determine I'm a sniper. An incorrect one too, I don't snipe.
I just like calling people out when they say silly things. |

I just like calling people out when they say silly things. Well, if you would like to b*tch slap each other, then hear this: 1. While, technically, the statement was not an accusation, I intended an understood accusation, to be sure. While whether or not you practice sniping was uknown to me I did intend to raise the intensity of the conversation to the f*ck you level. 2. The hypothetical form of "to be" is conjugated in the past tense. i.e. "If one were ..." 3. It is a word of wisdom, nearly a koan. The statement may be interpreted on many levels. 4. You will see what you wish to see. Only your humility, curiosity and open mindedness can lead you to enlightenment.
You're still saying a lot in order to say nothing at all. All the literary effort in the world will go to waste if you do not actually have a point.
This is like the writer's equivalent to "shooting the ****". A conversation without purpose. Have you really nothing to add except to coin more phrases which don't even fit the context of this conversation? Throwing a vague quote into the wind and claiming depth from the value of broad interpretation is simply a way for a not-so-intelligent person to seem more intelligent than they actually are. It's an escape from the responsibility of actually having anything relevant to say.
Besides that, a quote would indeed indicate past tense. Otherwise it wouldn't be a quote. |
