Very disappointed in the PR community
Posted: 2013-07-25 01:07
While my confidence and love for PR remains unshakable, I witnessed a truly disappointing act by admins and some regular PR players about 2 days ago in the Hardcore server.
I'm writing this not for my own sake - I'm a grown man with a career, my ego can hardly be scratched by the childish nature of that clan. Rather, to educate the PR community of how you should act around people who choose to fly Trans for you.
DISCLAIMERS - 1- I was operating the TRANS squad in operation Archer. Squad was locked because there was ONE chopper. Opened later when more choppers spawned 2- I'm experienced with flying choppers, however it was the first time flying the Chinook - it is quite different, it does take a bit to get used to.
From the get go, players immediately started berating my cautious approach to flying the thing. Ridiculing my lack of jedi control over the chinook. Not once did I crash, kill anyone, flip-over, or do any other amateurish mistakes in flying. Regardless, the berating continued.
As an example, I deviated from delivering supplies to the castle due to immense AA enemy activity in the area. Regardless the children manning the squad in the tower continuously complained.
This is pathetic. I've always considered the PR community to be a family, a group of like-minded people who enjoy playing and fighting together. What I saw on display that day is below the dignity of the Project Reality community, and of the hard work RDEVs, RCONs, and everyone else involved in this project envisioned.
Members of the Hardcore clan. Grow up.
