I do not believe I fit into any of those categories the original post described. I am just simply a Good Gamer.
I have my hands in several online as well as SP games. I just choose to help out the "clueless gamers" and beat out the "hardcore gamers" and I do so with respect and I do not taunt, or bind 1337 or pfft...you wish.
In my travels I see that most hard-core gamers are the exact cancer you speak of within the worthless category. They become so involved with any given game that they see their custom skin they made for themselves but everyone else still views them as default, as themselves in real life. Anyone that dare thwart them in a duel/battle will recieve obnoxious comments in return. Like, "Man, wth my fps sucks today." Then they proceed to drop little comments here and there, "This server is too laggy." One of my personal favorites is "Pwned". The list is endless. The unfortunate thing is, most of THESE gamers are admins in many games. Pointless to argue with them. I have even collectively tryed to reason with them before just resulting in /amkick.
I believe that people look down on clueless gamers too often. Not everyone is as computer savy as others. Remember, everyone started out as a noob. Fortunatly there are "Good Gamers" out there to give advice and help to these "clueless gamers".
Show them that mp games can be fun and that there are some normal, good people out there to kind of show them the way. Face it, if you suck at a game and get taunted relentlessly...You are not going to come back and play more. (Unless you're into the whole abuse S&M thing. But thats a different thread.)
Anyways. The games I currently play are JA, WoW, COD2, Gta san, and Battlefield2. Gf2usir.
