Of course the OP is silly since anyone can blind invite and anyone can play the game now. The incident is no more a reflection on the server or the game than a random /b/ image macro. There are always selfish idiots everywhere, but it's the helpful people who matter. Champion still has excellent, helpful players regardless of whether the occasional numpty makes an appearance. Heck, it even has people who keep articulated lorries, which is badass.

Most will simply make a bind and mash it - but some attacks have a relatively long activation/animation time - so when we see the lights are 9 seconds from respawning -we still want to get our big attack in before the level shift goes away, so we end up warning about the lights at 3 seconds or 1 second left.

Players that aren't leading have the same issues -but when the leader gives the warning, it comes with that slight audible sound -so the player can quickly look at the chat screen and see the warning - sometimes too late because they were trying to get their big attack in.

You also have to realize that CoH has an incredibly diverse playerbase. Some are 10 year old kids, and some are incredibly ancient, like Cobalt and myself. Cobalt's reflexes are super fast, whereas mine - they are just ever so slightly better than mediocre.
Not to mention some people have smaller monitors and haven't learned that they can resize all the windows on their UI to make it seem like they have more screen.
Some have a bit of lag from a buggy isp, and some just have garbage computers - they only see the arm of Tyrant going up for the air crackling until they are already dead. They should upgrade - but why? CoH changed the graphics on us - not like we went and purchased lesser systems. Used to be, 2 gigs was more than enough - but I digress.

So, no, it's not sad. Someone's inability to hit a light is really nothing more than a sign that they are likely having more fun than the rest of us, being immersed in the game. Some call it a form of scrapperlock.

Despite the many reasons why, I would wager that less that .01% of the population fouls up on purpose. Most want the other players to like them so they can team often and easily- so, they try their best to be helpful.

Again, not sad.

And, I know when I'm not leading a trial - particularly on Keyes - warnings on league chat DO help. Not everytime, as I usually stay on top of the UI. But, once out of 5 or 6 oblit beams, it's helpful.

As one who leads from time to time (just not on champion yet -don't think I've earned my stripes yet here) I don't really enjoy making binds and macros to warn people of things, because I might miss them too. We're all human.

What is sad is when I fail to realize that people make mistakes -and despite the temper tantrum I might have, they don't do it on purpose.
