I don't like it either (though admittedly I have used it sometimes, but only if the game was actually good and balanced, for the most part at least. I swear! ;)). And a 'gg' etc. after each kill by someone is even more irritating.

I haven't really ever seen anybody congratulate each and every kill against them.  Some people say it more than others, some don't say it at all.  I fall into the group that congratulations an opponent when we have a very close fight, usually with a, "good fight," or "nice one," type comment.  Would I say it to the Mk II pilot that walks into our spawn and instagibs my Osiris the first minute I play in a game I join late?  No.  Do I say a "good game," to a team that stacked themselves and roflstomped a bunch of newbs while nobody bothered to switch teams and help out despite them being outnumbered?  No.

Just yesterday after posting my last comment, I hop on to a Thunder Rift match that had 60min remaining.  The game was less than 20min over and the IS side was outnumbered by 3.

Do you guys enjoy 15min matches?  Is your idea of fun being able to switch maps as quickly as possible while the other team can't even experience a full asset list?  Would you like to be the newb on the losing team each time that can't ever get a chance to play the Mad Cat because the game's always over before he has the money?  Just asking because I often see people saying it's better to continue a stomp to get to the next map quicker.  Why?  So hopefully players will end up rearranging teams?  In the case of clan stacks I rarely see anybody in the clan switching to help the other team out, so you end up with the same type of game for multiple rounds in a row.  In the case of non-clan players, most seem content with staying on the team with the winning players.  Sometimes the best player on the newb's team will switch to join the side with the winning players, which leaves the other team pretty much helpless to avoid another onslaught.  Then of course come all the players that stack an already winning side.

Getting butthurt when somebody throws out a customary "gg" after a match, are you serious?  You guys are worse than old women.  I wish I had the time to worry about something as stupid as this.  Post-game "GG" is a social convention akin to saying "how are you?" to somebody you pass in a hallway even when you don't give a fapp how they are, or saying "good morning" when it's a shitty morning.  The person typing it isn't literally giving you a post-game analysis of the round, they're just being polite like Waffnuffly said.

I did not read the last 3 pages, but I think shooting people in repair bays is fine. Shooting them anywhere is fine.
Except the main base of course. But even this is legit if you give them a chance to come out, wait for five minutes and they are still hugging their base defenses.

... to somebody you don't give a fapp ...

Exactly. That's the condescending part of it. If it does not fit, don't say it. Don't try to project customs from real life interactions into the gaming world.

I kicked ass that round ;D
(it was still a crazy shameful stomp and me and you got pretty fapped up when we joined considering they had novacats shooting into our hangar from 700 meters out and we were in lights)

Noting like going head to head against a fresh MKII B in a base with your already half dead Heavy laser puma, double arming the guy, and then tearing through his side torso for the kill and managing to repair from 1% health in the base you just captured  8)

Yeah I'm going to keep saying GG at the end of the round regardless of whether it was a good game or not.  I know it will be difficult but you'll just have to find some way of carrying on I suppose.

Does it irritate you to see both teams of children's soccer (football, whatever) shake hands after a match when you know one of the teams just lost and would rather not be there?

Though I frown on it I do not think it is a bad thing but rather a quite clever way to remove an opponents asset from the battle with little to no risk of your own destruction... with that being said only freebirth cowards and dogs of fake star league take that road which holds no honour.

LBX2s ARE OVERPOWERED!

TANKS ARE OVERPOWERED TOO!

ALSO ASFS ARE BORING AND RUIN THE GAME

I WANT BEAM LASERS TO DO TWICE AS MUCH HEAT DAMAGE!!!

ONE TIME I GOT SHOT BY A SSRM, SSRMS ARE OVERPOWERED

THE HARASSER IS BY FAR THE WORST ASSET IN THE GAME. IT COSTS TOO MUCH AND IT'S TOO SLOW. I WANT A HARASSER WITH ARROWS PLEASE. DAMN

LEGGING IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY TARGET SOMEONE WITH THE LONG TOM. I LEG WITH THE 'TOM AND IT'S THE GREATEST. OH BUT THE SHIVA E IS TOTALLY BROKEN BECAUSE IT CAN FLY.

GG

[Edit] i BOUGHT A NOVACAT. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ASSET, THANKS. FOREVEr
