There definitely are some players that feel like they're entitled due to their experience and general knowledge of the game. Fortunately that's a small minority of players in general. Obviously this depends on the situation too, but recently I've had a couple annoying instances where players and admins need to act like complete dicks to get their little power kick satisfied. This mostly happens when assets (and asset whores) are concerned.
In the first instance I was playing Lashkar Valley as insurgent and I spawned in to main. The main base is up on a hill with a twisted road down and it would've probably taken like 10 minutes to the nearest cache. There was a 50cal techie in the main that I wasn't gonna use that. Instead I'd wait until someone spawns in to drive it so I can gun it or someone else comes back with their vehicle and give me a ride. So some 2 guys came back with SPG techie and I hopped in, because there's 3 free seats and no other way to get out of main so why not.
As soon as I hopped in, these 2 guys that I'm not gonna mention start screaming "Get out! Get out! GET THE FUCK OUT!". I asked them why (in chat) and they start reporting me for everything they could so I was like fuck you and shot them (and hit the gunner) as they were driving away because fuck them and their entitled ownership of that particular vehicle. So I just solod that last 50cal techie in the area and told everybody about it, and got admin killed, but at least that part makes sense, so I don't blame no admin (I think I had played with that admin before together, so he might've recognized me). And they think they're on to some form of teamwork with that SPG.
It's these types of asset whores that are worst types of players on PR. Too good for inf and in cases when they're on a side with no assets, they switch side or switch server.
The second instance was today, when I got banned on =HOG= server by admin called =HOG= Jevkins or something and he just couldn't hold back his full-on puberty.
I joined the server with about 30 people on it, so in those seeding stages the game is usually pretty random, mostly new players being wild and generally the whole team doing all kinds of random stuff. Anyways it was Fallujah and our whole squad was in main with no transport, but there were 2 APCs in main with 1 locked 2 man APC squad out on the map. Our squad leader decided we're gonna take the APC and get down to the cache. I could tell he was probably a bit newer player than I was (also in on some random shit), but so what he grabbed the crewman kit as a driver and told everybody to get in. Mech INF squad isn't anything new so I grabbed a crewman kit and became the gunner and we fit the whole squad in there.
Fast forward until we were at about 200m range of the cache, the squad had cleared out a T-building just next to us and I was a gunner in the APC waiting until the driver gets back in and we move down to the cache. It was pretty quiet moment, me just telling our squad to get in the APC to move down when this cute little admin joins to the squad TRIGGERED (just joined the server and probably had no understanding of the current set of the round) and starts SCREAMING "CARLITO GET THAT FUCKING APC TO THE MAIN NOW!" I was like, what? hold on let me just explain it to you for a second "I DON'T FUCKING CARE THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS MECH INF lalala GET IT BACK TO BASE OR I'M GONNA FUCKING BAN YOU", so I tried to keep my integrity and told him to go fuck himself. I was probably get banned anyways but I wasn't gonna submit to this miserable man-child trying to act as if his admin status make up for his ***** attitude and lack of reason and social intelligence. I'm a fucking adult and I'm not gonna let this admin with his **** attitude of major proportions think this how you get people to do things.
I would've gladly returned the APC if he explained to me like a normal guy would, that you should take this vehicle back to base, these are the rules and APC squad needs his APCs and you can co-ordinate with them if you need it. Seconds before I got banned another one of my squadmates told the admin he was taking it out of proportion, hopping in so randomly and not even understanding what was going on. Later if I googled "hog project reality" to see if I have a chance of unban, I noticed Bluedrake's video of Admin corruption & =HOG= ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5vC1YfoVs ), in which he generally explains admins, prominently =HOG= admins bullying players and abusing their admin powers just to stay on top of the situations and realized I don't even wanna be unbanned from there. Why? Just to reinforce the server in which flawed admin culture has been encouraged for a couple years now? I'd rather bring out their bullshit in every case I can until the server falls off and people find a better one.
I really never had problems with that server before this but then again I never came in hand-to-hand (or rather voice-to-voice) contact with an admin either.
I decided to create this thread.
It is simple.
How about a boycott against the HOG server. All I hear about this server is bad administration and abuse. I was personally banned 5-6 months ago.
I don't wanna be un-banned, I don't like the control freaks managing the server.
If they could sink, an other server could rise and all the players would benefit of better administration.
thx for the support
