Why do RTS games have the worst snobs?

What is it with strategy games having the most elitest players? I just came across a team with a player who insisted on flaming the newbies (and I was one of them

) because we got our butt handed to us. Which I guess is reasonable to get angry, but why call out players? Why not instead correct their mistakes?

But it's not just this game, this round.. rather all strategy games, and just about every other round. Everyone thinks they're so great and that the team is the fault.

The thing is, I play this game for fun. I couldn't care less if I win or lose. But if you're only interested in playing against/with skilled players, why not join a clan or play with only your buddies (who are on the same team). I don't know, it seems useless getting so upset when these games aren't even ranked

Anyone else feel the same way? Or am I just too sensitive?

if one person act good they will be always someone acting bad.

Oh yeah totally agree MoW could do with better snobs. Then again, thats just the 21st century.

The snob-ness towards noobs isnt only on RTS games....its in RPG/MMO/FPS.....all of them...MMO's are also some pretty big snobs, especially the people who get thier characters "uber" in those games. They excpect you to just get on and know it all by heart and to live to play the game and if u dont your treated like a complete outcast. Also, trying to get help sometimes in those games is like trying to take out a IS3 w/ a butter knife. So yeah, I guess just take what the snobs say w/ a grain of salt and play, learn the game and come back and kick thier asses later =P

I always try to find games with relaxed players who dont take things to seriously. I find thats the most fun battles is when both sides dont care to much if they win or lose. My lobby name is Morten.ll if you want a no stress game

I'm with you there. I'll charge you with nothing but tankmen. I don't try much to win, do try to have fun though.
