An Observation on Large OSW Clans

  1. Will I most likely be farmed for this post, yes. Will I care, no. This is just an observation of mine after 4 or so years of this game. Please note, these are general statements that are directed towards nobody individually. These generalizations might not be true for some, it's just an opinion.

    No fancy BBcodes this time, just an opinionated thread.

    Let's begin.




    Throughout my 4 years, I've been a part of many clans. Some I enjoyed, some I didn't. Some were great, some were not. The nature of the cc was vastly different between all of them.


    But then I noticed a bit of a constant..


    The big OSW clans have some members that play the game like it is a job, not a game. They play it as if their relations with other clans have actual real life implications. This is, of course, false. But, many of them fail to remember this.

    Is this every big OSW clan? Of course not. Some of them are great. Some of them are well... Not.

    Do I understand that, to a certain extent, they must be serious? Yes. But, I also understand that threatening other people is waaaaay too extreme. The game is meant to be played for fun.


    Let's talk about a story that helped me make this conjecture.


    So, I was able to get into KotFE. I met some truly fun, kind people. I eventually became a perm member, spending a few months in one of the clans. Then I went 'up the ranks' to another KotFE clan. Again, I met some amazing people that I would have loved to learn more. After a day in the clan, a "lord" that has ever known me before comes into the cc. What is the first thing he says?


    "Shadow, you are a mole."


    Before I could even attempt to defend myself, and explain that I had been in another KotFE clan for several months, I was kicked. They never let me back in.


    I understand that these 'lords' have a lot on their plate. But they play the game like a robot. No emotion. No fun talk. All business.

    I am not as angry about being kicked as I am at the fact that that "lord" never actually took the time to get to know others. He didn't seem friendly or warm. He was cold.



    And then I see screenshots of conversations in PM and 3rd party apps, and my point is proven even further. People speak to others as if the other is lesser. They do not have an ounce of kindness. Maybe I'm looking at this through a single perspective, but then again, I've seen lots of screenshots over 4 years.



    Oh and another thing, lots of people in these big OSW clans exclude others and are downright rude. Instead of using their vast game knowledge to help people, they shun them. They speak to them rudely. They do not care for them.


    And the point is proven even more in these OSW threads. The amount of players that you see in those threads with sticks up their butts is insane.



    In conclusion, many big OSW clans are filled with players that take the game too seriously. Lighten up, be respectful, and be inclusive to others.


    Troll away, I guess. Hopefully I will get at least one person to legitimately read this.
     
  2. But... But... Kaw is life!
     
  3. I totally get you. People take this game sometimes way too seriously. Especially osw. I have experienced it firsthand.
     
  4. Well written. Hope you stick around in kaw. Maybe make your own osw clan where you teach people from your experiences
     
  5. Why only post about kofte seem biased to me not clan bashing bluntly but still if you had a problem should have talked to the other lords and had a old clanie back your story. Not post in forums like this.
     

  6. It was just a story that stuck with me. Other clans have been the same way to me
     
  7. Ok I have a story I was in zaft it was fun I went inactive got kicked. Joined a different zaft clan cuzz rebels split from zaft it was a reg haunt read ca then left. It said items closed. O forgot I was there for less than a min.
     
  8. So........


    ........were u a mole??!
     
  9. Amazing read.
     
  10.  
  11. No lol, had great friends in KotFE that I wanted to join even beforehand
     
  12. Yeah. There should be some sort of fairness involved though. Kicking without hearing someone else's side is unreasonable and cold.
     
  13. Moley Moley Moley 
     
  14. We'll whether your a mole or not most major clans will think you are now.
     
  15. Sounds farfetched. No "lord" says/do that unless they got proof. Anyway, if they kick me like that i'd unleash my wrath upon them. But that's just me.
     
  16. Risk reward :lol:
     
  17. Salty your spies your no Match for an attack build like that change back to a hansel or at least a hybrid
     
  18. I heard some no life calls himself the king and orders others like workers,jeez talk about serious
     
  19. Salty..

    Please describe your exact plan of "unleashing you wrath" in a 500 word essay..

    Please include detailed terror strip plans

    Please also name any "lords" in your hit range (or name ur mains in their hit range)

    Diagrams and Pictures would be helpful as well
     
  20. I feel like I've read this before...
