sm community killing this game

[dazzy65]

the amount of times this last week that i have been kicked from a server because people only want to play with friends,
thats fine but do you wonder why not many people play this game?? the reason is because there isnt many server with people on them & when you do find a server with people on they kick you as soon as you join,
ironic that the sm comunity is killing its own game,
how do yo expect to attract new players when your treating them like this?
fact is you dont, so im uninstalling this game, there are a few good guys on the scene but most are stupid kids,
good bye & good riddence, idiotic mentality,

Without knowing the other side, it is always difficult to judge properly.
Of course it is rude to kick players just like this without any warning or any comment.
But please think very well about your own behavior here.
Perhaps you simply went too often to team servers, and you were yourself not always acting in a way that made you welcome?
See, if you jump onto a server, don't say (a chat function exists also in SM!) anything, and start eliminating all the others if you are too strong for them, or don't keep up their pace if they are all stronger than you, then they soon don't enjoy the game - with you.
Perhaps the modes you chose were not adequate for you.
There are so many servers, perhaps you did not look long enough for a really nice one.

the 2 guys was around the same rank as me, i joined a server & said hi, then they just vote kick we with out a explenation, & it was the only server where players were my rank,
fine just go with what you beleive but i know mannors,
i joine the same server a little later on & there was another 2 guys playing so i joined in just to get abuse fron the same 2 guys that kicked me.
if you think there behavior is right then fine let sm die, such a great game but with such a bad mentality,
the guys that was abusing me was mystery & jusif, as seen in the screen shot above,

Please don't consider the bad behavior of only two players with the behavior of the whole community.
It is not because of those two that SM will collapse.
And you won't make it better by generalising and insulting the community on the whole as kind of revenge.

Certainly the tone in ShootMania is more rude than for example in TrackMania - as for most shooters people get more easily angry.
But most of the others players are not all like that.
That currently there are not so many players is due to the fact that there was no bigger update recently, and that many seem to only wait for that, or are already through with it, in this fast-paced world.
Don't forget it is vacation time in almost whole Europe, and the active player count often decreases then, to raise again in fall.

Again, if you feel not well treated, you can name the players here, and then go to other servers.
But it is certainly not the fault of the game, not the fault of the game creators, and most probably also not the fault of the server admins.
If you chose to stop playing definitely, it is a pity, but it is your decision, and simply let it be then.

I think that :
- You will more frequently see the players you dont like, because it's always the same players playing.
- People get more quickly agitated by the current game state which results in bad manners.

I dont really play a lot of games so I cant really know for sure, but a lot of players can really be a pain in the ass.
I recommend reporting the players in-game because it seems like NADEO is on a banning-spree. They do look at the reports and I'm sure it will help the community

But please think very well about your own behavior here.i just joined a server, how could this be bad behavior??
Perhaps you simply went too often to team servers, and you were yourself not always acting in a way that made you welcome?it was a normal server, the 2 guys were not part of any team

Perhaps the modes you chose were not adequate for you.i was playing elite, 3v3 so how can that be not adequate?
There are so many servers, perhaps you did not look long enough for a really nice one, there was ONLY 4 server with people on in elite mode, 3 was full & the rank was higher than my rank, the 4th server had 2 guy simular rank as my self which is the one i joined,

i actually found these remarks quit provoking,

I think that :
- You will more frequently see the players you dont like, because it's always the same players playing.this is why i dont use lobbies, 2 reasons, the players are higher ranked than me & most of the idiots of sm can be found in lobbies along with good people ofc,
- People get more quickly agitated by the current game state which results in bad manners.

[TMarc]

people like these guys are killing the game,

and people letting them do, and giving up to quickly, do so, too.
Don't forget, you are also part of this community.

It's good you reported them, then the others know... and can avoid them.
Simply don't play where they are.

You can always check who is playing on a server before entering.
Either in the maniaplanet server connection display, or with the maniaviewer page.
