But then I took an arrow to the knee, got thick-skinned and actually started playing online games TO HAVE FUN.
You read that right - to have fun, not for fun, like 95% of horrible and brain-put-on-standby players do in WoT.
You might ask - "dafuq are you talking about, I also play to have fun!"
Well, lets be honest - do you?
How many times did you end up on opposite side of the map with 10 tanks around you, done no damage and gotten your base capped?
How many times were you last on the post-battle exp list while being top tier tank?
How many times did you ignore pleads and pings from your teammates who knew how to play and what to do, thinking to yourself or even writing on chat "stfu", or "you are not my boss, noob"?
How many times did you push out your teammate in TD from his bush ambush, gave away his position by camping next to him, or simply shot him in the back?
How many times did you simply went afk?
How many times did you teamkill?
How many times did you...
Is that fun? You know, that sense of happiness and joy when you did good at something?
What I am trying to explain, is that this sort of behavior, which, by large part of WoT community, is considered "fun" and "I got every right to do so", causes all the rage and insults.
And while you may consider it wrong and bad (as do I), next time you see it, try to take a step back and see what could you do different if your teammate was pinging you to go back and defend the base, while you were buzzing around the field going buzz-brrr-pew-herp-da-derp, instead of helping him.
Trust me, that little, tiny step in your in-game behavior can be a drastic change between someone calling you a r----d, and telling you "wp mate, gg"
