Why do so many bad players join expert games?

[⛧jakey⛧]

Players that join & immediately start getting incapacitated over and over, poor aim; repeatedly friendly firing. Lack of game awareness in general.

I know about noobs joining versus matches & getting vote kicked out, but no one talks about the noobs joining expert campaigns. The difference is that in campaign you can choose a difficulty you are comfortable with & it is clear to me when players are not ready for expert.

People often feel sorry for these players & defend them but why do they play a difficulty they are clearly struggling with, when they can play a lower difficulty til they are good enough to move up & not be a drain on others? If I complain about them, I am bad for ruining their "fun".

Quick joining can incidentally put an inexperienced player in expert & it happened to me when I first started playing, but I very quickly realized and left because at that time I was not ready for expert.
Others aren't the same because they insist on staying even if you point out they are in hardest difficulty.

L4d2 public Q expert no longer has a 100% grief rate?

[Scull26]

Mainly I try expert because I am pissed out of my face.
I am an expert on every game once I had a few. Great thing is, 8 hours later, it never happend ;) :)

Imagine playing on public Expert, where, besides noobs, you have a greater chance to encounter griefers. 🥲

It happens less if you block them overtime because it's often the same individuals that do it routinely.
It's still a major problem that won't change, but trolls are a seperate issue from the bad/inexperienced players.

Besides the trolls, often these noobs try to grief me when I complain about their mistakes.
It's why I mainly host local server so I can manage the troll & noob issue.
Joining random official dedicated expert games is masochism.
Occasionally you may get lucky with good teammates, but I've played enough to know that is rare.

in my opinion, it's one of the best gamemodes and difficulty this game has to offer.
ye, you can encounter griefers... but the risk is worth it, most of the time.

My favourite are Expert Custom Campaigns with a good team, going blindly. So much fun.

Also, like someone said, you can use the Block Profile feature and you won't be meeting that griefer again.

i think its just like this with any game. some new players instantly go to the highest difficulty then they die almost instantly lol

[Flowernose]

I have had 287 greifers blocked once and they still kept coming
Your not getting because your on local server then

I would have given up at 30 but i had 2 friends to play with and wanted to git gud

[grogcito]

Why do many players complain about not having anyone to play with? lol
why are you playing on an open lobby where anyone can join if you're don't actually want anyone to join

I love pubs and i love the admin system. I love hearing their whines and cries about how FF is turned off after they try and mag dump everyone. I love teleporting people off cliffs when they try to rush without the team to steal health packs. I love how retarded the community is.

Look at this arrogant A*censored* how he complains about players who don't sit at the PC all day long and do nothing else. Maybe he wants to learn how to play through the difficult game when he plays with good players. Well, instead of writing a whole pointless text, you could help the newcomers a little.
