h8 CR 5

[Piith]

only CR 5's Ive got upset at, and didnt say any thing ,I just ignor 'em ,were the ones that just do not shut up, they flood the chat with repeated commands. CR5's should be only communcating with SL's. when they broadcast they need a squad at such-n-such, seems half the squads head that way, leaveing an weaker defense, when what was only needed was one squad (full squad) to accomplish the task.
only a couple CR5's I have liked and that's because they do not talk much, and the job gets done

Hmm, i'm the other way, i regularly /tell CR5's but not with flames, with useful bits of info, 'this place need help' 'such and such is bringing ant' 'this spawn ppoint camped' etc etc, i know they've got a tough job so i wouldnt dream of flaming them.

it is pointless to flame them.
I never do that, much easier to ignor them. once we had a CR5 had the right idea, and it was working, then he split the force, and that was a wrong move, I always forget to use TELL, but should have. if he had stayed with his first idea/Plan, it would have been total success, but he got greedy in a sense. I just think CR5's can do a better job, by only broadcasting to SL and up. this way when he only needs a squad to do something just one squad will do it, rather then half of them, and they are not knowing that others are doing the same. It just hurts the battle when they spam the chat.
this is one reason why I think there should be a warRoom, so squads can have assignments before battle. The CR can place on a MAp were he wants squads to be and what their needs are, then a SL can select which role his squad best fits in.

Same m8 I guess Werner must be a much nicer place

I love using report/tells to CR's to get something changed or a useful bit of info passed on, like an underused backup AMS the enemy has, or that an ANT route is guarded (enemy tower etc.) and needs clearing.

I have only ever flamed as it were one person on CR2 when he was LFSM I simply told him not to use command channel to get his squad together but broadcast/local is better and the command channel should really be kept clear of "spam"

The only problem I have with global and continent CR5 chat is the commanders are not very specific with the information they are relaying. Often times, I will reply with a /tell lending suggestions on how to state their commands/request more clearly and concisely. This problem is most likely due to the fact that they are young and lack the experience of trying to motivate a large group for a cause. Further more, I have had luck with explaining to �spammy� CR5s that people are going to place them on ignore immediately if they have nothing constructive to add to the battle.

Conversely, the same people who send the negative /tell are the �1337 d00ds� who are convinced that they know what is best.

CR5�s need to stick together and simply lend the /tell to each other to better the way they communicate with the masses. Ignore the crap you receive from the d00ds, digest the good advice, and think clearly and methodically about what you want to say before you press ENTER.
