Something I've Always Wondered..

[DovahTerran]

Take note: This is NOT a racist thread, or a flame thread. It is an honest question I've had since the very beginning of my presence in Planetside 1.

Here's the question(s):

Why are there Chinese players here in such numbers? What ever got them interested in a Western game that only had Western/European servers; and now only has a Western server after Werner's demise?

By "such numbers" I speak relatively. There are only around 100 or so people online at any point, but the Chinese have a decent-sized presence. Back a few years, I saw quite a few more.

Why do they play this game? They've got Welkin 4951, which is pretty much a complete ripoff of Planetside 1. And then you have Mars War, which is a ripoff of Welkin.

None of them speak English, to my knowledge. None of them are team players, save with their own kind, that I've been able to observe. I've even been blatantly TK'ed and sought out by them. They don't ever communicate and even attempt to hinder teammates in some cases. I've also seen a few of them hack and exploit the game in a coordinated, team-based manner.

I believe that the thing that peeves me most about it is that they don't communicate. At least with an English-speaking player who decides to troll, you can be given a sort of reason and/or explanation if you're lucky.

I want to reaffirm that THIS IS NOT A RACIST/FLAME THREAD. However, I'm pretty much at a loss for understanding why they're even here, when they have their own games to play and next to no background or favor in Planetside. Does anybody like them?

Can anyone who's an older veteran than I (I've only played since '09) help me out on this?

TL;DR Why are there Chinese players? And why do we not like them in general? No hate.
