First off, I'd like to thank Yuno for being so kind and spamming us with events. Its nice to find at the end of a game I got a pair of reload gunners or to log in and have the choice of playing some battle rooms that typically aren't available. However, there was an unexpected consequence to this latest event - excessive greed

In GB, I noticed that when I was bombing, at the last second, the ship I had highlighted was sunk just as I was about to drop bombs on it. I was a bit surprised as this typically only happens at the end of the game when the winning team all wants to be the one to get in the last kills. Later in the game, same thing happens again, but this time  there are multiple ships around. After several games, I began noticing a pattern; whenever I highlighted a ship on the line, just as my planes got to it, it was blasted. As a test, I saw a BB and a CL side by side and the BB was taking hits. I went after the CL. Sure enough, as soon as  soon as the planes were over the target and  dropping the bombs, the CL was sunk  from under me and the BB had stopped taking hits. 

Yesterday, I decided to give the blitz event a shot. Like someone else has already posted, there were people spraying HH everywhere including hitting their own ships. I have no problem with HH used against surface ships in GB, but in blitz where you have new people trying to learn the game, its really nothing more than an exploit. I saw a number of kitnas and they were spamming torps everywhere. At one point, I observed a kitna sink three of his own at point blank range. It was a disgusting show of  team play and also reenforced to me why there MUST be a nerf on trop XP. At numerous times, people called out "hey there is 20 seconds left for premium" and were laughed at, ignored, so on. I obsereved one host intentionally get 50 people into hobbit map so A team would lose people outside the map and it would be autowin for bravo.

None of these things really are against the rules. But acting like this detracts from the community. If people were acting like jerks, then we wouldn't need server mergers to keep games going and we could spend more time working on improvements to the game. If I offend you by calling out something you were doing of late, my point isn't to argue. My point is to bring to your attention that there is things worth more than winning or getting higher in the rankings. Being known as a decent person is worth far more. Also, just because this is the internet it doesn't mean that there aren't real people out there that you are acting like a jerk to. Show some sportsmanship and be a stand up person. Thank you.



****EDIT****

The point isn't about stolen kills or if I'm highlighting too soon, not using manuel, whatever. Thank you for the tips. The point to this topic is that the event is bringing out the worst in people. Other players (including some that I see posting on the forums all the time) should think about their actions.

Exactly my point. I tried telling people about the 5 minutes to drop, moving up on the spawn and so on.... just too many dense people.

There already IS a nerf on Torp XP, and I can guarantee you that playing a TW, Sub, or TB CV is NOT nearly as worth it as playing another ship that can gain on average 200-400% of the experience that the ships listed above can. ESPECIALLY when teammates rush in front of, or near, those torps and cause you to get even further reduced experience due to TKing...

If you can't get kills with a bomber cv, don't do it please.

If you're attacking targets that he can hit, you're doing it wrong and should immediately dismiss your entire crew.

I like how everyone except 2 or 3 people in this thread completely misses Lionel's point
