The GG problem

[demonsushi]

To be honest, "eZ/m8" are a bigger "problem" than anything. That is assuming there is a problem, which really it isn't. Thes terms are used in a negative way to insult a players game style after they kill them. Is it annoying? Yes. Is it bannable? Techenacily yes. Will you look like stupid reporting one of these people? Yea probably.

I myself have in fact report someone who said this. However, after abusing aimbot in a death match, he said, "haha scrub eZ gg14 noooooobs". I reported this as abuse as well as the aimbot stuff. Looking back, I would have left this off. If someone killing you saying this really offends you, I believe you should use the following steps.

1. Take a deep breath
2. Say to yourself you are morally better than this person
3. (Optional) bounty all your points on them. This normally is good if it is before deathmatch and he doesn't have a team. Why? He'll get teamed on in that deathmatch. Cheeky way to get back at him or her.
4. Leave. Just play another game and destroy. Winning makes you feel better than the negative emotions of those minuscule words.

I believe someone above me mentioned how minecraft was designed for kids and it sets a bad example, and I totally agree. You look really stupid saying to a 9 year old these phrases; some people take things harsher then they should and it appears to mean more to them. However, no one should know each other's ages. So to those people out there who says this, treat everyone like there 8. If you were playing basketball with an 8 year old, no matter how much older you are then them, and they take a shot, and you smash it out if the air, would you say "GG m8 10 hertz scrubsz?" No. Because you look like a Feminine Hygene Product. Can I say that? Oh whatever. Someone snip It if I can't. But do you see my point?

Treat everyone like there 8. Only say what you would say to that little kid.

Now about GG. It is not really a problem in my opinion. Coupled with the other terms, just use the four steps above. However, alone, GG means good game. It is and should be taken as a compliment to the other player when you complete a fight. Some people may use it in a malicious sense, but if you think of it as a compliment, then it won't matter.

If it really bother you, use gf. It means good fight and you have to be really angry to call that abuse. I actually say it and the amount of hearts I had after a good fight, and if someone says it to me and I agree, they get a cake! So if you see me in game and we have a good fight, you are, in fact, rewarded.

May I ask, what exactly is wrong with 'm8'?

I don't mind people saying GG at all. But "rekt eZ" etc. is annoying.

To be completely honest, I think way to many people overreact when someone says "gg" "rekt ez" to them, I mean come on, it only affects you if you let it affect you, I was once called "eZ 23 hearts bad kid" Instead of just having a complete and utter rage on him, I left the server in which I saw him again where I continued to say, "What you said last game was immature and disrespectful, your actions weren't necessary." He said sorry and we became some-what of friends. What's so bad about just simply typing '/hub' and moving on. No need for this 'raging' behavior
