Yesterday I was waiting for a friend to join my lobby and I was just mucking around (after I’d exhausted all options of playing around with my character’s appearance) and I decided to view my rep on my gamer card. I’ve never even looked at it before.
Anyway, it yielded the following results:
70% of people I’ve played with either chose to submit a positive player review or no review at all.
30% of people I’ve played with submitted a negative player review.
That’s quite a large figure – 3 out of 10 people wanted to avoid me for various reasons.
Anyway, of that 30%:
8% said that I was aggressive.
41% said that I was unsporting.
41% said that I quitted early.
I know that many of you will just tell me to get over myself and/or ignore it, but this honestly upset me because I’d like to know exactly what I did to earn such negative feedback (so that I can improve in future).
Being honest, I can recall two really bad occasions where I was definitely at fault.
The first is a few months ago:
I’d had connection issues (and obviously I blamed it on EA or the xbox rather than myself); I kept getting disconnected from every match I played, half-way through or later – when you’re invested.
My idea of a remedy to this problem was to host my own match (since I just thought I was lagging off everyone else). I never normally host, but I made the exception this time. And it totally backfired. We landed on FB Jade and less than two seconds in; I got the disconnection message. Well of course everyone else would think that I’d just trolled them and cost them their equipment, even though that was never my intention (I was just as angry as them).
That’s the first instance I can think of where I’d warrant negative feedback which was totally and undisputably deserved.
The second was a few weeks ago when I was drunk (nothing new there, admittedly
While I know that it’s better to stick it out (people prefer cannon-fodder over nothing at all!); I just thought that they’d do better without me. That, and I had no patience (because I was drunk – my fault, again
Don’t get me wrong; I’m one of those people who puts in a 110% no matter what the odds. I’ll use up all my gel and missiles, even if it’s obvious that we won’t get very far. I don’t care if the match is a lost cause; I’ll do whatever it takes to get to the next wave (often in the vain hope that others will put in as much effort as I have).
Obviously I don’t mind going out of pocket, or I would’ve quit this game ages ago. I just think that sometimes all it takes is one mug making an effort; sometimes other pugs might step-up and surprise you.
Okay; my long and boring story aside: I just really wanted to ask you folks (and this isn’t xbox exclusive) exactly what kind of things/behaviour warrant disappointment and negative feedback from you.
Also, how often do you leave player feedback? Personally I’m only inclined if someone really gets on my bad side (deliberate leechers). Usually, however; I don’t judge people based on just one match. If I’ve run a few with the same people; I leave positive feedback.
Thank you so much if you took the time to read this; I really appreciate it.
