The importance of good in-game conduct
Дата: 25.07.2011 16:16:30
ARGO: Greetings,
Most of you all know me from my articles regarding “Behold the power of PLEASE” and “You too can help stop the spread of P.U.T.T.S”. Or others regarding good sportsmanship and what not. Today I am going to talk a little about in game conduct and how it truly effects the game. Some of you may have become comfortable in WoT and get lost in the heat of the battle and may write a few things in chat that are less than “G” rating. Sometimes we forget ourselves when in a platoon, company, clan and get a little heated at another player and verbally rip them a new one and that basically what I am writing about here because my goal here is to have you all look at it from a different perspective.
You see WoT is huge, many people from many cultures “including children” play this game, all have the same expectations you do and want to do well and that’s where basic in game conduct is key. Imagine you are a fresh player, just downloaded and never played the game before, you go into your first match and instead of being treated to an awesome gaming experience, all you see is spam, filth, profanity, and other less than adult commentary running all over the chat windows. What kind of 1st impression does that make? I realize again it can be hard and especially when you having one of those infamous losing streaks to control ones anger in game and not tell that arty, Lowe, leopard where to go and give him directions but seriously my friends, Try to keep in mind that maybe to yourselves, you have played and worked hard to get where you are and earned a name for yourself here but to others, first impressions mean a lot and I am sure most clan leaders, or gamers who really enjoy the game do not want to turn off perspective new members. It’s bad for clans, it’s bad for players, it’s bad for business, and it’s just bad for any game. So in closing I would like to just put one single thought in your minds…..
Every time you play, may be somebody’s 1st time. Let's try and make it a good time.
