A request for more respect in our community

Maybe if they’d fix their damn game people would be more respectful

…and this attitude is exactly the issue. Being not happy with something (be that how other players play the game, or how a company develops and maintains the product they sell) does not mean one is allowed to be disrespectful.

Also, the net profit of being disrespectful (in any form) is absolutely zero, while when being respectful, people tend to listen more willingly and happily. It’s always surprising me on a daily basis (especially also in my work as GM) how people, grown adults, still don’t understand this very simple Truth of Live…

I mean I try not to be disrespectful but the fact I have multiple bugs affecting controller users in particular and those bug reports get ignored or never responded to again is making that quite difficult. How would you feel if you had a bug report, reported it over and over again, and none of those reports were even acknowledged? To me it feels like an insult. I am one of those people who are comfortable using a controller but not so when using a keyboard, especially when I have controller binds memorized. When I have to reset the game every time the cursor freezes and then I am unable to rejoin the match I was in it is frustrating. Then there is the fact MITL controls are permanently inverted on controller now and you can’t uninvert them. I have been told to contact people before but I fear that won’t change anything.

It would be nice if Gaijin didn’t treat us like a bunch of idiots, and release an alternative A-5C ( in the form of a Q-5D), while raising the BR for the A-5C for absolutely no good reason at all…

Yea, thanks for slapping me in the face Gaijin. Way to treat your customers. 👍

Loyalty means nothing around here. Not sure how Gaijin wouldn’t expect a negative response to such despicable sales tactics.

We need to be shown some respect as well. Not taken for idiots every chance they get.

It absolutely does. It allows speech you like and speech you don’t. I agree people in all games are toxic, but also some really pleasant people too. Focus on those. Ignore others.

You assume ignoring the toxic pricks is always a good thing. However, it is not.
Cause that’s simplifying the idea that if you are toxic at all, even if it’s merely criticizing something completely wrong.

Toxicity is not a black-and-white concept; it is a grey concept.
Toxic positivity exists; despite being positive, it is the Positivity that can be absolutely damaging to anything.

So do we just ignore them, and ignore everyone who is even at all questioning the decisions a company makes? After all its toxic is it not. So no, it doesn’t work like that. This is also why trying to be respectful is difficult.

I’m always a bit confused about that argument, even when I use it myself: It would somehow imply that you only need to be respectful if kids are around, and that somehow magically as soon as age creeps over 13, one is dfree to use toxic and offensive behaviour.

True. Guess that’s why it is something our parents and peers teach us already at an early age, and need to do so constantly.

Free speech is for governments, not private entities. Private companies can stop your speech all they want.

Even if free speech did somehow apply it still doesn’t mean that you’re free from consequences in any scenario. It just means that you can’t be preemptively stopped from speaking. If you then break rules/laws while speaking you’re still going to get the consequences.

Part of the issue on why so many people become disgruntled and disrespectful is many of us put in bug reports - plenty of documentation that goes against what currently exists in the game and we immediately get hit with ‘lolnope’.

When our efforts to try and improve the game are immediately walled or accepted bug reports are still not fixed years after said acception, it becomes frustrating or even demoralizing.

Yes, there are fixes that happen almost immediately. Which is great.

Others, that would make vehicles actually worth using (for example; Italia and Roma) or on par with their foreign cousins (example; Most of the US dreadnoughts going from 40 seconds aced to 30 for primary reload) - which goes to my first point have been almost immediately outright denied despite the proper documentation.

Thanks. And also, u neednt write thousands f arguments against each other on the same topic

Respect is a two way street.

…and that should somehow be an argument for disrespectful and outright offensive and insulting behaviour?

Of course not but but there comes a point where anyone loses patience to the point becoming as such.

Still doesn’t excuse it, of course.

In my experience it’s not the game itself its the people. It’s easy to get mad about getting pounded by highly skilled players, I do that constantly (the mad part lol) but thats on me not the game. They could give orbital lasers and someone would claim its op or a skill issue. That said I’ve met over the years maybe 20 ish humans that were actually nice and fun to play with. Ever. Only the peeps playing can change that. Just my thoughts.

In layman’s terms.
I’m stating that an Age Rating also affects what you can say to a degree.

Uh… no, it can’t.
If Gaijin were hypothetically in the United States. It would have to follow the 27 Amendments as if they were part of their company.
That isn’t an option; that’s a requirement. People have sued over this before in the past and won. However, since Gaijin is Hungry(joke spelling), or at least a part of the corporation is… while the rest is still in Moscow.

Won’t reply to the second part, as that is true.

That’s not the case.

To be fair, a lot of vehicles in the game right now are using reload speeds, rotation speeds, etc that are nowhere near accurate to irl. Case example: Treating 37mm rounds as if they were 47mm rounds.

i would respect Gaijin if they actually held their hands up and admitted to their mistakes, but their usual tactic is just blame the community, or call us wrong and deny the issues.

The actual quality of WT has been steadily decreasing after every single update. Favouritism for their homeland, game breaking bugs every single update without fail, issues that shouldve been addressed years ago just being left with no fixing (ghost shells and bombs going through wings), to more complex things such as matchmaking being the most pointless thing to exist (whats the point of having EU servers if we cant get EU games).

No, that is not how that works. Read the freedom of speech part of the amendment, it ONLY applies to governments. A company is fully within their right to restrict your speech while you are on their premises.

Incorrect. If you are reading what I said literally, then my bad.

However, I wasn’t referring to it literally.
Commercial Speech Regulations
Statutory and Labor Protections
Anti-Discrimination and Civil Rights Laws

I was referring to stuff similar to those 3. That is where it starts having an effect on private companies.
Cause companies always try to screw you over as the consumer.
