I think this might be a lot more common than one might think. I’ve been playing Pyro for a very long time, with my achievement Backburner, achievement(?) Flare Gun, and my Sharpened Volcano Fragment (one of my first ever random drops, incidentally). I do very well almost all of the time, with only my Proof of Purchase hat (because I think it looks nice) and my Professor Speks which a very generous person I helped with their first campaign when Jungle Inferno released gave to me.

I’ve been called a hacker and a cheater (always falsely), and even been kicked more than once because of it, but I think that any player who takes the time to get properly good with any specific class and any weapons, learning the optimal strategy for specific encounters are, some of the nicest people you will ever see on a public server, and often a fun challenge to play against.

But the other best thing to see is a player like you, you takes the time to appreciate an opponent player’s skill level and not call them “cheap 1-button kiddos”, and it is lovely to see that sense of good sportsmanship continue in this game of ours that is nearing 11-years-old.

You’re wonderful, and I just wanted to share that. 😉
