    Default i need hosest answers

    I mean I have met a lot of cool 1st 2nd and 3rd re-ups since fenix rising. And they all get treated like crap. And I understand why. A lot of re-ups get hated for stuff a lot of them do( not all re-ups are like this) but a majority of re up I have seen online in matches bully and make fun of lower levels all because they think their rank makes them better than everyone else. Anyone can get a high rank if they play long enough and for there being level 400's two hours after the the DLC dropped I call BS on them but I think that there are decent and respectable re-ups out there, and they shouldn't have to get hate because of what the other ones do but I understand where lower levels come from. It makes people not want to re-up because they feel its not worth it because of what people make it. Does anyone think that re-ups are bullies and if you do do you think all re-ups should be hated because of what the bad ones do?

    anyone who thinks they are good because they feel good about their rank should just be ignored. not all reupers are jerks just hate the ones who are.

    That's exactly the way I feel don't condem the good for the bad. If they didn't do anything wrong leave them be, but I also feel the hatred of reupers goes further than that a lot of people can't trust many re ups because a lot of them aren't legit. I mean 3rd re up lv 100's. Two hours after the DLC comes out?

    And then they don't even have the cheevos for reuping at all. But they boss people around like who are you? But still and all the humble players who don't do anything but play shouldn't get hated for what others do.

    Do I think re-ups are bullies? Not necessarily. I'm half way in the red right now. I admit it, I can be a bully. I don't trash talk (unless I'm super angry), but if I'm getting annoyed because someone refuses to engage in a battle with me, I might take some frustration out on him mid game (taunt, etc). For example, I'm one who likes the gnasher more than the rifles. I do both, but I don't exclusively use one. If someone is camping a spot with a rifle all game, that really gets on my nerves. I start thinking, like how are you going to win camping that tower with no power weapon while your whole team is getting pooped on? It makes no sense. He gets a kill or two, but he's just being a campy, boring opponent.

    If someone repeatedly camps nades or boom, yes I will taunt you. It's annoying. Epic is only part of the problem in that they give kills to players that don't deserve it. Camping boom/nades all game doesn't mean you deserve to be 12-1. It's the players, and I admit it's the high level ones that understand the game better, that abuse the 'cheap' and 'less skillful' aspects of the game. It's makes me angry to see some guy who knows the schorcher is a joke pick it up and go bonkers against a team that is already spawn trapped. Meanwhile, I'm pushing them with my starting load out, doing more work, trying harder, and he get's a whole bunch of effortless kills.

    One of my regular team mates used to be a hammerburst king. All he did was hammerburst, such a quick trigger finger. He's good with the gnasher, but every time we play alpha execution, it's more difficult for him. Now, he uses the retro 90% of the time. He's almost a blue, and it's like, I feel THAT is more so bullying. Not humping, not trash talking. There's nothing more disrespectful IN MY OPINION than those players that KNOW there are easy, cheap ways to get kills, although they are efficient with the gnasher/lancer/hammerburst/longshot/torque/anything that takes some amount of skill, they refuse to do so and resort to these boring, BULLYING kind of tactics.

    Why is it those players in the top 500 in ranked tdm all start with a retro? I played a team of these high-ranked individuals on sandbar. It's like there's nothing else but pre-activing a retro/rifle, and just going to the top and shooting everything. Or, picking the schorcher up and you're down in 2. We beat them, yes, but got pooped on the first round until I took charge of my team and said 'guys, pre active your retros and lancers and we can win.' I'm not a gnasher fanboy saying rifles take no skill bla bla, but it's boring when teams exclusively abuse aspects of them, aka the retro, or pre activing, and only do that one thing. Not to mention the gazillion power weapons on every map that spawn 30 seconds after use. ugh.

    end rant.

    I have to disagree and say that I've only seen it played the other way around, where the lower levels bully the high level players for apparently having no life or things of the sort. I've yet to see a high level bully someone for being a low level. The way I see it, bullying really only occurs when there's a minority group, (i.e. nerds, socially awkward kids), and the higher levels are going to be the minority. Not everyone is going to become a red 50, but everyone will have been in the whites. That's just the way I've seen it, and there's likely some high levels who bully, but I just haven't seen it.

    x2. agree fully.

    I find most higher re-ups to be pretty respectful, the kind of guys that just shoot you when your down and move on. But you can never tell by rank, it's not something I ever look at. I played with a white ONE the other day, and he did pretty damn good. It was immediately clear that he got reset. So you can just never tell.

    I swear this whole re-up drama doesn't exist/is exaggerated. The vast majority of people I come across don't bat an eyelid at other people's ranks and those that do are likely small children or with that mental age.

    Don't get me wrong I never said all higher ranks were like that. But from personal experience a lot of high ranks behave in a way that is disgraceful to the rank in full. There are very respectable high ranks out there an I acknowlege that. But a lot of re ups that I have seen start mess with lower ranks and I quote " It makes me sick that we lost to low level punks" we never said a word to those guys and they act like we should have lost because we were a lower rank and even if nothing is said you can always tell when someone is raging by the way they play.

    I have best friends who are max rank. My co leader is a level 400 and is 6 onyx medals away from 3.0 and he is cool as hell I won't blame him for what other people do, but still and all if re ups didn't think they were better why would they rage quit when they get killed by a lower rank. One time a downed a level 40 and as soon as I meatshielded him he dashboarded I was a level 50 white then. Then I got a message from him calling me a modding piece of lowlevel trash. If re ups don't think they are better because of rank why do they do things like that?, why do they bring level into it, and why do they always try to bring modding into it and say they are so good because they are a re up the only thing that can touch them is a modder.

    This. I'm a very respectful player, but when someone pushes me I will fire back. If they continue, I'll do everything in my power to make them rage quit.

    If you aren't doing very well in a match, and you're a re-up or something like that, some trolls might be like: "You have a legit level but you suck!" Stuff like that.
    That really makes me angry. -.- But then I do really well in the next match and I get 12 kills and No deaths, they're like: "This guy must hack, he did bad on that last match!" :l
    Wtf?
    I'm a 2nd Re-up, and I personally think some re-ups can be trolls and stuff, but when Re-ups sometime do bad, they get bullied, but when they do good after they do bad, people are like "Hacker!" or "Modder!" D:<

    I've seldomly experienced this. Only once or twice and i spoke up for the little guy and they shut up. Must be since i was "on their level" they didn't have anymore to say. Bottom line is that there are @ssholes of every color and number in the game. I chose either one of two options, reply or ignore them. Often times trolling somebody like that is more fun than ignoring them.

    Im a reset green,I own.................. Rank means absolutely squat in this game this time around.Took 2 years in 2 semi moderate gameplay to achieve 100,In 3,been reset once and well on my way to second reup,My opinion,means you play a little bit more than the next gamer if your a higher rank,period.Everything is boostable in this game,don't sweat it,means as much as YOU want it too.
