It doesn't hurt my feelings, it was just as you say counter productive. I also generally don't shoot, unless someone runs at me with a knife until everyone is ready. The melee system in dods is just too bad to be taken seriously and the pistol ammo is annoying too, so in that regard no you're not right you're probably going off 1 or 2 isolated incidents, but don't get me wrong i'm not upset, it just literally seemed stupid to have 3/4 ego members on one team rockin special weaps 5v5. I also then use a rifle which is pretty much as mundane as I can make it, as my preferred class is actually support.
Its also not just yourself and not just today, The other day it was 6v6 and with the abundance of assault the few eGO members I was counting on to keep the spirit of the game fun and skill based let me down. Having 1 sniper is not so bad either, rockets and mgs with 10 players though is just not fun.
So what i'm saying is the courtesy we put in place should be insisted on a little more. Obviously its an issue or you wouldn't have posted the "rule" in the first place, and yes, the accommodation of all play styles is part of eGO however we do have our own etiquettes. If this was the sewer rule we would be quite vocal about it, so why not speak up about our other etiquette?
