dumb for them to have a go! a tomato is someone with a red name on
xvm, like really bad stats :)
Dakiras: It's dumb, but it still happens. When people are raging at
someone else for being terribad at the game or whatever, logic and
reasoning rarely comes into it. Sad, but true.

think.
Dakiras: ^ Sound advice, there.

Dakiras: For the most part agreed on the advice given, specifically
the part after the second quote. "If people randomly call
you names because of your stats: Ignore them. If people call
you names after you killed them: Laugh at them. If people call
you names after you did something stupid: Try to learn from
your mistakes while not taking it TOO serious."

perceive/understand the word "fun"?". I've been thinking
about this too, actually. What makes the player play the game? What
makes it enjoyable? What makes it fun? The opinions will
vary. Some may enjoy the game when they win a battle, others don't
care about that and their goal is to perform well in that
battle. And a third person may enjoy himself by just getting
the feeling of driving around big lumbering chunk of
metal, a tank; a tank is the embodiment
of power; feeling powerful over others can be fun too
(but let's not go over there). Anyway, there could
countless posibilities why people play the game and what makes
it fun for them. But the important part, I think, is that we
should stop judging people. Because at the end of the day,
we're here to have fun, right?
Dakiras: Indeed, you have to define where your enjoyment is in the
game. If you don't enjoy it, then there's something to think about.
Why do you play it when you don't enjoy it? Find what aspects of
the game you find enjoyable and focus there. If you like to win,
then try to win. If you like to obsess over stats, go nuts
(honestly, you will go nuts.) If being competitive is your cup of
tea, then you'll want to be a bit more try-hard. It's all
subjective and really up to you whether or not certain aspects of
the game matter to you.
