You can lead by example, but still people will flat out try to trample on you. Most players on CA tend to be the younger generation, where they get away with anything or trash talk their parents. I've done what I can to lead by example, and get trash talked, stomped on and more.

If you do real good it's just all hatred and flaming, if you do bad then people smack talk you. Which to my exact point is, most players are below the proper age, to even play Combat Arms let alone anything else. I think that there's no real way of blocking young kids on CA, which is where a lot of these hatreds and such come into play.

Also then throw in hackers, which on top of that ruin the game even more. People become completely arrogant, over how they feel abused compared to others. It's just a self-absorbed world, that most kindness doesn't go far in CA. When I'm usually here and there, actually able to play at all I try being friendly.

If I had plenty of spare GP, I'd buy usually a 7 day gun for new players. So they can get a feel for things, but I just tell em it's not going to happen often. Guess it's just I try doing what I can, to at least show some kindness to players. It's all those younger players, and immature adults that spoil the game really. I've played with kids and adults alike, who actually show maturity and consideration.

Good luck finding em though, most are either high ranks or quit playing really. Due to just the constant frustration, they can't stand how the game has fallen apart around them.
