Hi I'm a late comer to this game, I love the game play, but I must say the behavior on the MP arena has almost turned me off this game already.

I have three Issues with the online community.
The first is that when I try to join a game I'm (very) often kicked for being a "Noob". Well how the f... I'm supposed to stop being a noob if I don't get to play?

Second, when in game, people as soon as they encounter a little adversity often leaves the game right away (which don't help my stats, and appearance as a noob, as far as I can see).

Lastly the tone in the games is very harsh I must say, I'm by no means soft skinned, I have played a lot of online games and know the tone, but it just seems to me that there is less of a gentleman spirit in this game than other Strategy games. (maby im just unlucky?)

Sorry about this little rant. I'm interested, am I the only one that feels this way or am I not alone in this? I guess it would help if I got some friends that played this game.

Regards.
