Why don't people say GLHF or GGWP?

[CoKane Dealer]

I've been making a note to say both whether we win, lose, curb stomp, or get curb stomped. But nobody says it back. Why?

Except "GG EZ" is more scummy than polite.

Because you don't play War Thunder to feel good, you play it to hate yourself (and everyone else as an extension). LOL

If the game actually encouraged team play instead of playing for yourself it would force people to use the chat function. Instead we're punished when we share a capture point, get no reward for shooting down incoming missiles and why bother repairing your team mate, when you can use them as bait to get the kill yourself.

If I pop a booster and go into a naval battle I can make 60k credits just for capping a single point by myself. I get so frustrated when somebody keeps pace with me the entire time, I'm the one who takes all the damage and then I have to split the cap with them only for me to die after and them to get the 3-4 kills nearby. It's infuriating. If the guy had just gone ahead of me I wouldn't care, but they always make sure they're just SLIGHTLY behind you that way you're the first one spotted and you're the one who always gets killed.

It's the same in tanks and planes. If I wait like 20s to spawn, for some reason everybody is still slowly approaching the enemies, but if I'm the first one in I'll have a trail of people 500m behind me waiting for me to get attacked so they can swoop in to pick off the crippled plane kill. Tanks on the other hand is everybody spreads out to the edges of the map, turns on thermals and scans for white pixels and one shot kills. Can't even remember the last time I SURVIVED a hit, let alone got repair help from a team mate at anything above like 4.7. I think 4.7's the cutoff for playing for fun and when the game turns into playing for your own kill count and nothing else.

what if i consider 'hello' a proper greeting why are you not all greeting me in chat in my preferred way /sarcasm

in all seriousness there is no rule everyone has to conform to, even falsely assuming everyone you meet ingame is an english speaker, 'glhf' 'gg' etc are just conventions that have somehow made their way into common use among certain demographics

the moment you start actually requiring someone to say 'hello' or anything else rather than being a natural greeting it becomes rote that might as well be automated for all the meaning it retains, and when chat is filled with over a dozen robotic and utterly meaningless abbreviations for greetings where is the option to filter it to actual human communication

i have nothing to say to people outside my squad so i dont, simple as that. If there is some kind of banter i actually care enough to get involved in its not going to be a bunch of teenagers spouting letters at each other because they have forgotten how to communicate naturally

chat restrictions doesnt help but even before that I just couldn't be bothered to be nice. whenever I see another player and the nation they play I just remember the bullcrap i've endured and just decide to mind my own business:

heres my personal list that comes to mind right off the top of my head:

USA: screw em they're big three and have a .50 on every tank that makes life hell
USSR: screw em they're big three and their broken and or unecessary vehicles IE pantsir/Kronshtadt/etc
GER: screw em they're big three and every one of their vehicles is undertiered; dont even get started with their 20mm BS at reserve ranks
UK: screw em and their SPACEfires; I won't forget the old days of grinding air RB when nation vs nation was a thing
JP: screw em they're dirty weebs
CN: screw em and their sekrit dokuments, WMA, and copy paste tree
ITA: screw em and their pasta-mobiles; especially back when the R3 AA was first added
FRA: screw em and their B1 Bis nonsense
SWE: screw em and their germany 2.0 crap
IL: screw em and their broken fragment of a techtree that shouldve been added to the US as a separate line.

So whenever I look at any player and the nation they play I just don't really care to be bothered to talk; let em do their thing and screw off. this is coming from someone who has played most of the nations above and hit top tier and many of em.

I am biased and I do not care.

France and Japan might be the only two I don't hate as much as the rest.
