People who RA or AB or "high-end" PvE are bad players.

Sup?

Bad players can easily be recognised.

1) They make the same mistakes over and over and will not learn from them.
2) Whenever something goes wrong they will blame other players and the game incessantly

A clear example of both is this:

A wammo or sin charges into combat blindly, clear out of the aggro range of the monks and dies because he cannot be healed consequently. Then he starts yelling at the monks for not healing him.
Next encounter he charges in again away from the monks....

This applies for both sides of the game. Major QFT.

Bad players are players who fail at gaming. Gaming is all about having fun, if you can have fun and are less skilled then you are a good player. If you cant have fun and are more skilled then otherse and whine and complain about "bad players" then youre a bad player. Unless you have fun complaining then I guess youre good too. A bad player is someone who cant have fun. Because when it comes down to it, thats all that matters. It like life, if youre not happy, doesnt matter how rich you are , youre a failure. If you are happy, youre a success. Simple.

The problem here isn't one of subjectivity, it's that the question was posed too broadly. For instance, in competitive activities there are established, objective metrics by which to measure players - win/loss ratios, performance statistics (e.g., batting averages), etc. The fact that this data typically isn't compiled for all players doesn't mean there's no objective way to measure 'good' and 'bad'.

The contention that there are no 'bad players' is plainly false. About the only activities that have no 'good' or 'bad' participants are those that do not depend at all on the abilities of said participant (e.g., lottery).

It's easy to come up w/ characteristics of a good or bad player, but it is much harder to define them outright. Generally, a bad player is someone that can't or won't use teamwork and refuses to learn from their experiences. Flat-out rejecting any advice given is also a good indicator...

It all depends on what you value.

For me:
Bad players =
1. People with bad attitudes.
2. People who like to cause other people pain and grief.
3. People who try and take advantage of you.
4. People who are too lazy to do for themselves and want others to do for them.

Good players =
1. Friendly, helpful, considerate, generous.
2. Like a challenge, like to learn, like to hang out with people.
3. Have a good sense of humor, don't take things too dang serious.
4. Don't think they are better than everyone else.

What is a bad player?

Same as in real life: anyone who is unable to play well with others (they are rude, inconsiderate, unwilling to compromise or adapt to others). They might be really skilled etc, but it doesnt matter. If you cant play well with others in a group setting, I would define that as a bad player. The question, and my answer, of course does not apply to someone who only plays with AI.

MithranArkanere · Feb 23, 2008, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Good player are those that play and let others play.

Bad players are those that do not play and do not let others play.

Easy, eh?

Dallcingi · Feb 23, 2008, 03:24 AM // 03:24

Bad player= someone who does not learn to improve what they are weak at.

Mr. G · Feb 23, 2008, 03:28 AM // 03:28

Anyone unwilling to be flexable and adapt, if a player is a bad player due to lack of expriance, this is often beacuse they refused to try different things to gain that expiriance

Bad players can be everyone.

They are necessary for some posters here that they have at least something in their life to be proud of, even if they are not good players:

I am a good player, yay!
