Guild Wars 2

It just seems that whenever at the start of the match ppl start talking in great detail on what to do , it almost always never work out. I’m almost prepared to lose when that happens esp. when you get some guy who is all preachy and telling people what they ‘should’ do. 9/10 times we lose and that one guy start raging. Some of my best matches are nice silent ones, ppl know what their doing, no one kittening no one yelling. If any chatting at all it would be joking around about names or outfits and a few gg at the end. Just saying..

It is sad but I agree. Too many “pregame strats” discussed in pug team chat are less than optimal and assume the cooperation of all players in the team. Many people will do the opposite of what is suggested just out of spite, and others will spend the rest of the game arguing why the the “strategist” was wrong (I am ashamed to admit I have done both of these many times, and I see other people doing it all the time).

In reality, I would love to be kind to my fellow players and calmly discuss strategy and try different things out as the game goes on. But because conquest is a game where the clock is essentially always running, and kills/decaps can happen so fast, I find myself and other players often discussing things in brevity (often in the rudest way possible, unfortunately).

Whether this will change with other game modes or different pacing in the game, I do not know. Just wanted to share some scattered thoughts of how I agree with the OP.
