Foreign Players..

I can sympathize with the frustration some people may feel when they find themselves in a situation in which their playtime may be ruined by players who a) don't master English to a sufficient degree that they are able to comunicate clearly and efficiently and/or b) don't realize that MMO gaming does require a certain small degree of knowledge and skill. Yes, I believe that while you shouldn't be required to write and read English at the same level as a native speaker, you certainly don't belong in this game if you cannot properly express yourself in this language or understand what others are trying to say to you. And it certainly is my opinion all players should make the minimal effort that is required to play their basic role in a squad.

However I do take issue with singling out a specific ethnic group. Players of all backgrounds, including anglophone countries, are certainly capable of writing in br, 1337, and other such gibberish, and as for nubness, well... I am Mexican, I do tend to avoid myself Spanish speaking factions as, in my experience, most tend to heavily emphasize regionalism and isolation which are things that I opose out of basic principle, and this is something I do believe negatively impacts MMO gaming. In here what matters is that we are all people first, gamers second, our class third, and everything else (nationality, age, gender, etc.) a distant fourth, which does not mean we cannot bond over other things we may also have in common. I hope you understand that this attitude can be seen as stemming from somewhere else when you point your finger at a certain group of people.

The real problem here is broken mechanics (genies, aps) allowing others to take away our jobs in squads.

lmfao look at perses here,mr or misses i know everything about spelling and typing. everyone makes spelling mistakes. i saw all my grammar mistakes when i was done. i can care less if make a few errors. im not gonna bother correcting every underlined word. as long as people can read and understand im not adding every little comma and capital. and i know im hated for this thread lols. dont care. let him add me to his collection of idiots :]

It seems you like to moderately rage at people who correct your issues. Listen, this is a forum on the internet. This is not a text message sent between you and your best friend, or **** buddy, or whatever you wish to call the other person who is recieving the message. People who read the threads, tend to like a person who can spell and structure their sentences in a logical and readable manner.

With what you had shown in your first post, I personally was unable to read past the first ten (10) words before I had to stop and proceed to correct all of them so that I was able to read the few sentence paragraph that you had conjured before us in this board to read. Sadly, it seems that you are unwilling to correct these mistakes yourself, as you clearly stated in your thrown together with your very low level writing skills.



With all of that said, I bid you a-do. As I don't wish to converse, nor associate, with somebody who is unable to clearly type a sentence with proper structure within a forum of any kind, so that others may be able to clearly understand the legible writing of that person and then understand the clear idea behind the said persons post or thought.


Good day.

I'll just leave this here... b:sad

How much skill and communication do you need to 3spark 5aps...

Barely any at all.

But you do need a fair bit of it to even acquire the equipment needed to reach 5 aps without CSing.

It's definitely not a race/culture/language specific thing.

It's an idiot thing. The language barrier makes un-idioting people just more difficult. I've left more squads due to idiot native english speakers than ESL players.
