Assholes in MGE

So lately I've been wondering why the hell people are such butt holes to people that "suck" at MGE. This is probably more of a rant than anything else, but please explain this to me.

In my mind, the best way to improve at something is practice with people that are better than you at that specific thing. Then, it makes no sense for people who are "good" at mge to not want to play vs. someone who clearly is no way near their level of dm and generally be an asshole about it. This has happened to me personally, but I use it as a kind of motivation to keep going. However, there are those newer people, who maybe don't see things the same way I do and are not horrible losers like myself. Being treated like a piece of shit and told not to play is a real big kick in the balls to those newer people.

I see MGE as a gateway to competitive tf2, as well as a way of improving dm. Why do you have to be an asshole to someone who wants to improve?

I use this for my dm+mge config, its pretty much the best thing ever, just get some music going and you're set, nothing will bother you.

unbind tab
hud_saytext_time 0
hud_deathnotice_time 0
volume 0

But anyway, I just wanna say that mge gets really frustrating sometimes, for me at least I can't play it too much without getting frustrated, thats why I just prefer dm, and eventually there will be some people that will channel their frustrations towards newer players. Don't stress it too much dude, just use some of the commands posted above and/or ignore them, I went through countless dozen hours on mge when I first started practising as well and let me tell you it wasn't an entirely pleasant experience but you just have to ignore it or maybe practise in dm?

I can understand not playing people obv nowhere near your skill since it is pretty poor practice to play against people with obvious movement and poor aim, but if someone who stomps you shit talks they're probably mad, trolling, or just fucking dumb. It's easy to be nice to someone just play a game or two, say gg and !remove

Also some people have the worst brought out of them by mge rank. Not everyone but some people start thinking of mge as some trial of skill where if you lose its an embarrasement instead of a practice mod.

Killing only wants the mge points, he doesn't care how many toes he steps on. He has to acquire them at any cost.

Most of the reason people get mad at new players is because they break the

rules of MGE.

The servers would be so much nicer if everything just word filtered to "gg wp :)"

i think the unreal part is you can shoot 12 things without reloading and hit 2 of them and still get a kill just because the other guy spawned 10 miles away from you

I know right?!

I would also rather use a shotgun in MGE, but I don't care about my MGE points and since I'm a roamer I MGE without a shotgun so I'm forced to rely on rockets only.
