I asked for help

Certain people are quite hostile towards newbies, on the other hand there are few, who will support you and give advises.

If you would like to avoid being bashed, you might want to craft your skill in duel mode.

Firepluk is a well known troll and all-around difficult person to play with. There is a bit of an inside joke ("resign OP") there in that Firepluk tends to go for broke and then resign if their all-in fails, which has won tournament games, but mostly they're just a jerk.

I don't know TLama at all, nor Svatopluk that well [color=grey](casted one game, I know they were the first *pluk, and for some reason a bunch of people randomly followed)[/color], but overall big team games are at best like stereotypical frathouses.

So, as kaen said, learn the basics against CAI, and come to the 1v1 room. Everyone in the 1v1 room is nice (which constantly pleasantly surprises yet baffles me).

The small teams and 1v1 guys are a lot friendlier than you'll find in the average 10v10. With the size of the current player base it's pretty hard to find a large team game where this doesn't happen.

I concur with all that has been said. As a new player myself, I am familiar with facing the steep learning curve. There are players out there who are unfriendly towards new players, but there are also players who will invest significant energy into helping out new players. Some of the very experienced players have spare 'attention capacity', if you will, and such payers can take a leadership role in team games in respect of those players less skilled. The balancing system in the game helps with this, since teams with a certain number have at least a few experienced players on both sides who can help less experienced players. I can vouch for Svatopluk who I saw help someone out once quite extensively. The trouble is that you saw Firepluk and Svatopluk acting together and they have a bit of a trollistic synergy when doing so, which possibly teters on the edge of being what is allowable in Zero-K.

All according to plan.

First I don't understand what it is all about bcause pluks said nothing offensive (this time) and seemed to just ignore Normthegorm (so did other people in the room which were not typing).
Second I feel like Normthegorm just walked into a joke that they didn't understand and suggesting that it is offensive towards them (according to provided text)
For third I say that pluks are not the most unfriendly players in the community... (they are just most irritating). A lot of it (albait not all I admit) comes from demonizing them into such state (because of irritating factor). Also people tend to forget (or just don't know) of such people like Smoke_Fumus for example.

Ps. Mind you Normthegorm that people are not obliged to helping you in any way. This is internet after all :\

Orfelius: I suppose they were not offensive as such, but suggesting that a new player skuttles themselves or "resigns sooner" is both entirely unhelpful and is having some fun at the expense of that player. While such behavior may not be actively censured that doesn't mean it merits defending.

Who are the most unfriendly players in the community, then? I suppose I can think of a few...

People on the internet are indeed not obliged to help you; they're not even obliged to not make jokes at your expense. However, those who make jokes at the expense of others should not expect that this will have no effect on the opinion others have of them.
