A little bit of consideration couldn't hurt

:o I'm sorry to hear that. :( Just ignore those players who're calling you a "noob". They're not worth your attention.

It is common for us to misjudge people mostly at first sight. That's how it goes for some players and people in real life as well as TO. Every player has a taste of his own. Some tend to remain silent for the most part and speak when needed whereas some tend to be chatty. 

 

You just need to ignore that. Play the way you like. Don't conclude by noting down negative opinions or keeping negativity in priority. Whatever others say won't change one bit of what you are. :)

Thank You DarkOperative,

Your answer is sincere, mature and I can tell you are a good person. For the most part, most of the people I meet here are the same. I usually don't even post in forums but I have always fought for the underdog and  I was thinking more of those who won't speak out. I am not thin skinned. I have been around for a long time ( not sure how many here are my age) and this post was done more in the hope that someone might read it and maybe, it could make them think. Rest assured I will play as I always do and nothing will change that. I am a team player and just love to help wherever I can. Thanks again for your wise and thoughtful words.  Later

I do sometimes insult people because they cannot turn their turrets, but I've never thought of it this way- maybe they really can't turn their turret because physical obstacles block their way. I really like it seeing how you shared your experience concerning this matter. That kind of made me think about my acts around random people in the game. Thank you for sharing your story.

Ignoring can be hard some times, so since you said you don't like to chat, there's an option to turn it off :)

[ThouShallNot 963]

Turn off chat if they bother you.

You should ignore them. Don't try to explain what is really going on as they aren't going to listen. Just ignore and work on yourself. Who says it's easy to master a game.

Unfortunately, people don't know your situation and so you shouldn't be surprised if someone calls you that for not turning your turret... Always be aware that you know for yourself that you are not a fool, and that should give you satisfaction.

My situation is not as bad as yours, i have keyboard ghosting, here is a brief explanation

"Ghosting" is the problem that some keyboard keys don't work when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously.

 

in other words i can only do two actions at once, either i move my tank and fire or, fire and turn turret

 

which means certain guns are hard to use such as freeze.

 

i sympathize with you.

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

You say you dont like/ dont chat mostly, and people try to make fun of you,

which quite hurts, I feel you,

 

If you just dont want to talk, and dont want to hear what useless things people say,

there is always this option to come to your aid :)

While the chat is off, you can just pay attention to playing and not what people say ;)

Gl on the battle field.

[blacksouleater 190]

Wow! Sorry about the ghosting issue. I can see how frustrating that must be.

Thanks for your insight and information. I will check out the chat button.

Peace.

Listen to me - you're an amazing tanker. The fact that you're a Warrant Officer 5 means you played for a long time and have enough skills and knowledge about the game. We're glad to have a tankman like you on the forum!

[NatchGa 665]

This is why players who use the term "noob" should be punished/banned. Its an offensive word to many people, and just over all discouraging. When you think about it though, everyone is technically a "noob", so the word really has no meaning when people use it in this intended way... 

[blacksouleater 190]

You folks are awesome and inspiring. I'm feeling much better now thanks to all of you. I know I am a good tanker and player. Thanks again. Players like you are why this game is so amazing. :D
