As for me telling my store: me getting into the game 4 months ago and 17th letting me in and letting me fight with them, was meant to show you that 17th actually has made an effort to train people up. And I´m not the only one who has been given time and training in this clan. And to show for that effort 17th has an opfighting-team.
As for me personally, I´ve shown many new players around, helped out with starter weps, practiced in Neofrag with people. I helped out the guys whos tarted the NC^1 clan, I even have a character in that clan, helped a few of them lvl and get gear.
So my clans actions, and my actions speak for themselves. You however, seem more interested in just reaping the rewards of others efforts, not wanting to train people, not letting them have the time to grow as fighters. Helping peopl isn´t about throwing gear at them, it´s about teaching them some stuff, showing them the fun of the game, letting the into the fights even if they aren´t the best fighters at the moment.
As for the other peoples posts, I did talk about what Powerpunsh said, he talked about noobs just being cannonfodder. I said that what they needed was to be given time and practice and experience. Specifically, I said this:
"Yes noobs will occasionally hurt you a bit in fights in the beginning. But then they start to get a grasp of things and soon they make pretty much a neutral impression on a fight. And then, after being neutral for a while, getting their practice in, they start to make a positive impact on fights. But you gotta live through the first two phases first, accepting that they will need time to grow. What you need to do is to accept that you might have to let people have time to get better, like the people in 17th did."
As for the posts on improving game mechanics, etc from Ake and Zoltan, this was not the topic of the thread, nor do I know enough about the progress of the balancing project or the fixing of game mechanics to discuss it. I know some stuff I would like to work better, and I definitely want balancing, but that wasn´t what we were talking about.
I really do think that actions speak louder than words. You´re leaving... So it must mean you don´t really care that much.
What you should have done is make the effort in game instead, like I did. Like 17th did. And then, you might have had something to show for it.
And Falk, come back, it was great fun fighting TASA, even if you´re a fucking nightmare to put down most of the time, and we lost as much as we won. Some good fights tho.
