Imagine if you had your car tow'd to a Repair shop because you had 3 flat tires....now imagine if the Mechanic told you "Stop your whining...you still got one good tire left...plus the car still runs...it'll still get you from point A to point B...what more do you need? You still like your car right? And if youthink your car isbroken, go buy a new one!!! Stop complaining..."


That's the kind of response I've been seeing for awhile around here and other various places when we post about wanting fixes...


"Commandos aren't broken...It's still fun to be a Commando...stop whining...If you think it's broken go play something else...blah blah blah..."


Why is it whining when we ask for fixes? Why are we wrong when we say our profession is broken? Why should we abandon our profession if we think there are things that need fixing? I would say a car with 3 flat tires is broken and in need of some repair...sure it's still drivable, but I needs to be fixed so it will perform at the level it is suppose to...That's not whining...We have 3 trees in our profession that need major attention...we have 1 tree that works, but is no longer as reliable as it once was (pretty much the FT is unusable when facing a 80 to 100% Heat resist NPC)...


We are not asking to be made uber...we are not asking for MORE POWER...we are asking to be brought up to the level we are meant to perform at...and I can assure you as can any Commando, we are most definitely below that level...


So quit the "Your Just Whining" responses...they are ridiculous...Any fix request seems to get labeled as "whining" in any profession...it's just sad....


Anyway...like the subject says...this is just a random thought and my 2 cents...

Thunderhearts unofficial response: "Technically, your profession isn't broken...You can use a HAR...You can use grenades...You can use heavy weapons."


But forgets to add: "You just can't use them effectively, or as intended, even at Master level..."


It all depends on how you spin it. We say "to-may-toe", they say "to-mah-toe"


But your analogy of the car with three flat tires is dead on.

Garvin, you are a better man than myself. I have just about given up trying to explain to these "stop whining" posts. I am just as frustrated as you are, and when many of these people come hereand tell us to shut up you really have to wonder. Many of them DO NOT understand the commando profession and have never really tried to comprehend it. Many of them are probably rifleman and TKA ( 2 of the only working professions ) who tried to dabble in commando or got beat by a commando at some point.


Most long time commandos have been extremly patient and forgiving to the nerf herders and would be shut up posts. I also think that most people understand ( at least on my server ) that commando is a broken class and have some pity for us. But now all I do is /shrug to all the people who think otherwise, chances are they wont listen and never will.

Wait a second Garvin...


We STARTED with four flats! They overfilled one tire, left the rest flat, and our oneoverfilled tire has a slow leak. That one is about half flat again, but they DID fix the car once right?


Sheesh...everyone is switching cars, but if my last tire goes flat any more...I'M SWITCHING DEALERSHIPS!

Why the hell are so many people prejudiced against Canadians on these boards? I mean **edit** is this bs other than just plain ignorance, which is EXACTLY whatthis thread isaccusing other people of being. Swear to god, sometimes there forums are worse than the crap I have to put up with in my guild.

We Americans like to pick on our Canadian friends because we love them so much. Although we may speak of you as if you were our dim-witted cousins; in all actuality, we're just jealous because you invented hockey and Labatt's.


Sincerely,


you obnoxious cousin from south of the border....

Farkey,


Hey man, I wanna be the first to say sorry about that comment. I have MANY Canadian friends. 2 of which are in Gaming teams here. My best friend is working for Big Huge Games...Canadian!


Sometimes things are taken out of context (A LOT of times...especially with younger viewers) , the fun competition between us is taken to the ignorent level of "South Park". Which can be funny, but some of our younger, and un-supervised viewers, take as "Cool" or "Norm".


We are brothers. Sorry!


We are Commandos!
