Korea Wins: flawless victory, fatality

[Riggswolfe]

Let me see if I can clear things up.  I wasn't commenting about the event itself, but rather the reaction of people to the fact that Korea beat them to it.  Getting upset because someone beat megafoozle_0643 before someone else kind of goes beyond the scope of intelligent gaming discourse.  Don't you think?

It's called being competitive. Can you honestly say as a gamer that when another gamer beats you in some way, whether direct competition, or even being the first to kill megafoozle_0643 that you don't go "Well fuck them!"

Gamers are competitive. If this is news to you then I'm a bit surprised.

Yeah that works for all the guilds running onyxia and failing or going after keys in order to take her on. It doesn't cover the people who hadn't even hit 50 yet and had no hope in hell of ever being first regardless.

For all their uber organization they still suck at pvp...

In the open weekend of guild wars a pickup group I was w/ dropped like 4 diff korean squads (all character names w/ symbols I didn't even know u could type w/ alt+numpad) several time.  They were max lvl w/ gear I didn't know you could get in the free weekend but they died to better tactics and better solo play like anyone else.

It was funny because at the higher tourny maps in GW its 4 team ffa and the other american squad or two would be like, "oh noes koreans we're going to get owned, lets gang up on them" funny shit...

The American gamer's envy of their Korean counterparts acceptance into their mainstream society and their "Skillz" @ PvE bullshit can rest ez knowing they suck at PvP like all fucking raid encounter lovers do... hard.

*edit* not to say that there aren't good pvp korean guilds, never met one myself but I'm sure they do exist.  But just because they can waste more of their life finding ways to pwn stupidly time prohibitive "encounters" doesn't make them inherently better gamers in some way as I see some people proclaim.

*edit P.S.*  I still hate Koreans because those "AzN only" games in SC made me sad..

The word is easy. It's just two more characters. Please use them.

Yeah alot of the asian guilds in UO were the same. A whole lot of organization. A whole lotta shiney. Not a whole lot else. Naturally they smash the shit out of alot of random american guilds, but then the organized american guilds slaughter them. I think it's more that the best pvp guilds are probably drawn to different games like lineage or something, and thus the other games get the dregs.
