What's up with the Manners in Echo 8?

For every 10 SNDs I play I'll go to Echo 8 once.

Every time I play there, all I hear are "You're bad, kid", "Go home", "PZ kid", "I'm not even trying", or other such examples of maturity.

Echo 8, as far as I can tell, is made up of primarily NA players, a good number of which go there for WOGL pug or practice.

Is there some secret mantra for the lack of courtesy on this channel?

And if not, why are we (NA players) harassing others (foreign players, e.g. BRs) for their lack of manners if we can't do better?

    Thats the competitive players for ya'. They either call you a tryhard for walking, and tryhard themsleves all the time, or just trash talk.
  • E8 is a bunch of new kids who think they're the ****. And then a few oldies who go there to try to find a game with other oldies and cry when they see who ridiculously stupid the new community is.
  • I only see like 2% of the people in e-8 that are any good and are sound guys.

    So many people just fail, then cry that i armor and lag then get me kicked. geegee...
  • echo 8s is a bunch of 13-14s year old that occupy the server we used to scrim in...
    we need to find a new one~
  • because the internet is full of people with respect and good morals at all ages. amirite?
  • Echo 8 is a joke from the start, those lousy goons think they're so good, always make up an excuse in a "wannabe professional server", what a deface to the community.

    Define start.

    You mean in Bravo 10? When the game first came out?

    You have no idea what you're talking about if you lump competitive players in with the rest of the moronic community that calls themselves competitive.

    There are under 40 people in the "competitive community" (your definition of it) who should actually be considered "competitive".

    Also, please define "wannabe professional server".
  • e8 is home to many idiots who have no skills, hobbie, or interests outside of CF, which has become the most important thing in their life. it's quite depressing. ironically, CF isn't a "competitive" game in the first place.

    CSS is competitive. CF is casual. some people think they're so pro because they're good at CF, and i think, "wow congratulations, you're good at a casual game. go play CS if you actually want to compete."

    let's face it, a game with flight attendants running around in bunny ears, wearing turkey backpacks, and throwing "baby ghost" grenades is not a truly competitive game.

    You must be one of the many people that pub in echo 8. This type of behavior isn't often seen in real echo 8 scrims. Echo 8 which in fact was made for scrims not pubs.

    League rules and competition between players and teams makes it "competitive". Counter Strike has many mods and plugins for servers to make the game more fun and casual, along with being competitive in others. The idea of a competitive channel such as Echo 8 and all the ones previous was for people to follow a certain set of rules from League's or other sources and play matches/act accordingly. At the moment this idea is just flying over a lot of peoples heads or is being ignored.

    Also, just so you know, competition can happen in any game, sport, activity, ect.

    CROSSFIRE INCLUDED.

    Just need the right type of people to make it better.

    Edit: Just so you know, Counter Strike did not start being competitive right away. People needed to put some effort in the beginning to create the competition seen in most Valve games now. CS, CSS, DOD, DODS, TF, TF2 are all different. People created rules, tools, leagues, tournaments to allow for a sort of "growth" in the areas that needed it most, which is how games like Counter Strike have risen to the top and set a sort of "standard".

    dumb .
  • Lolz. If you don't want to have trash in your face, don't bother talking to them or playing in the server. E-8 is for competitive people who are childish and PLAY AROUND a lot. It feels weird for being retired in a game and trolling on forums :D

    The word "Lolz", naming yourself "retired" and a "troll", calling other people "childish", and your choice of font, boldness, and green color all make you look stupid and "childish". Maybe I shouldn't bother talking to you eh? Edit: You should probably find better things to do now that your "RETIRED".
  • Can I ask you guys a question?

    Why are most competitive people total jerks all the time? There's some who I understand why they flame other people. They're annoyed by morons and stupidity...but some act like if they're good at a game, they're better in life and just treat everyone else like trash.

    I haven't played this game in a week. I feel like trolling this forum because I'm not used to A.V.A.'s yet, and maybe I just don't like seeing white all the time. And how does this makes me look stupid? At least I don't bother talking in pubs because that initiates an argument and in this case you just started it.
    EDIT: I already have. I'm playing A.V.A.

    If you mean the "competitive" people that are the new kids who play E8 all day and flare their egos, it's because they're stupid.

    If you mean the oldies/goodies who actually have fun competition with each other and can't take a loss/play the game for the game, then it's because there are so many ignorant idiots who lump both groups of people together that we just get ****ing tired of the stupidity.

    They act as if they are better than everyone. I just go with the flow by just playing regularly. They use "tryhard" to make you run instead of walk because they likely have headphones on and say they don't have them on so they can kill you. It's an obvious IMO.

    Ooooo wow, retired from your long career of CF to play AVA, amazing. (An entire week?? Geez!) If you don't want to have an argument inside the game, then just completely ignore people and chat block them if they get anymore annoying. You do your thing, and ignore everyone else if need be. Whats the point of making friends with hundreds of random players and listening to their opinions?

    Have a great time buddy, I'm out.

    I see..rofl
    Thanks for clearing that out.

    I see you flame people...but at least you got a reason. Unlike others who just trash talk and think they're better than everyone else.

    What you have just said, doesn't make sense. I just basically answered the topic of this thread and you just barged in here flaming at me. And I did do my thing. You just crashed my thing. You should learn to think before you say something because you are the stupid one. Don't go around and accuse people like you know them.
  • I see..rofl

    In actuality I don't flame anyone. I point out truths which, because of their own immaturity and lack of reality, they take to be insults and flames.
  • I really dont know what to call it, but yes you're right. :D
