!!!LONG POST AHEAD. If you don't read it, don't post. This is a thread designed for intelligent discussion, not trying to buff your pointless little post count with unfunny jokes like "tl;dr". Such posts will be reported for spam!!
So today I decided to raid a base of which I will not name that is commonly dubbed "fair".
Because of the rise of whiners, entitlement and poor sportsmanship in the clan world, many leaders are being forced to make their bases "fair" (what an awful term. I'd prefer balanced but the common jargon says otherwise..) or else be subjected to said previously mentioned entitled whining.
Raiding the base, I took over and was completely and totally bored.
What most whiners don't get today is that winning a raid back in the day meant something. If you could take down those idiots with the carbines spawnkilling when you had a knife and you earned the carbines, you EARNED the carbines.
Raiding an unfair base keeps you on your toes. You know losing the base would cause a major setback because you're back to square one. Death in a fair base? Boo-Hoo. You never earned anything for owning the base, so who cares?
That's not to say fair bases shouldn't exist. Some people enjoy this different system.. this entire post is directed at the people that feel that EVERYONE should make their bases ALL to the current standard.
I'll give you an example of my raiding at VAK SMO today:
-We kill people with assault rifles -woo we have the base, too bad having it means nothing really -oh no, I've been killed. Not like I lost anything.
And one year ago during our x-101st Groundbase Franneh Raid:
-We are getting spawnkilled. We have weak pistols. -Spawnkillers stop to type, we act. We stack and run. We're all gunned down except for my friend who hid behind the fort. -Spawnkillers return to spawnkilling. Secretly, my friend is getting carbines. -OUT OF NOWHERE MY FRIEND GUNS DOWN THE SPAWNKILLERS -RAT Rushes in, takes the guns and contains control. -We lose half our men due to a guarding failure. No fear, we fixed it (but it was an intense battle) -After being on our toes for nearly 5 hours, RAT won.

In these days, people didn't rely on technicalities for their wins. They didn't try to resort to text and rules to justify why they win. They knew the true definition of victory - despite abuse, cheap tactics or underhanded tricks, they prevailed.
What I'm trying to get to you is simple-
Stop complaining. Making an excuse, resorting to pulling out that rulebook, insulting how "fair" a base is.. it's not victory. It's pathetic, it's childish, and it's the reason why this is all going downhill.
While I may be looking through rose tinted glasses, I've tried my hardest to look at facts and common human behavior.. common ideals and beliefs outside this silly game as well.
Earn your victories - don't whine over them.
Because in the end, putting all opinion aside and looking at pure fact:
If this pattern continues, Victory will mean absolutely nothing.

I get your point however it sounds like you are more of saying we don't take it seriously enough.
I mean I get the SMO and X-101st thing but I do believe it is fine if you don't take this game that serious. I mean it is a game. |
