I have gone into match's that started out really good. My team has the majority of null points (skirmish, my favorite mode) then part was through they just stop trying, they kind of just roll over and present themselves for mounting. Then while i'm trying to motivate them, give direction or tactical suggestions. I get derided, I catch flak for trying. I'm sorry, but I grew up in the era before they started handing out trophies for just showing up. We had to earn the trophies. You didn't when , guess what? The only thing you got was pizza after the game.
The lamest excuse I get during my DI inspired motivation speech's is "It's just a game." Football is just a game. But, you don't see the Raiders , the Bears, Steelers, Packers or the Vikings going out and NOT trying to kick ass. Baseball is just a game. But, you don't see any of the going out there and not trying to win. Hell, Monopoly is just a game, but I don't know of one person the at plays that GAME and doesn't try to own every property.
But yet, here on Dust it's ok to be Losers. So, what if there are Molon Labe players on the other team, so what if there are Contract Hunters, Opus Arcana, or any of the other "Hot" corps. They are just like you. Not all of them are "Top gun" players.
Just saying.
It's much better now, if you can believe it. You should have been around when AFKing was the favorite past time.
But yeah, why even play this game if you're not going to spawn in? Might as well play something else.
And a friendly PSA to all you noob smurfs out there: Uplinks are the most valuable piece of equipment in the game, for all player classes except dedicated heavies. Learn to use them correctly. Matches are frequently won and lost due to uplinks.

Lol. Hey, I'm just looking to help other mercs kill some folk.
Here's my favorite fit, when faced with r3tarded AFK teamates and everything goes to shinola:
http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/1304/6474
Gallente scout with a RR. Cheap but effective fit. Flank the protostomping bytches and put a few in their head from a distance, then run away. Repeat. Don't have to rely on your fellow idiot smurfs (who spend the entire match looking in the same direction like lemmings and not ever checking their six) for a damn thing.
Point is, there's always a cheap mil/standard fit you can run when things go south, instead of AFKing.
