Author note regarding 'bads' status. Bads is a mis-leading category of skill because it's for those average players who are on the verge of convincing you they are good, but begin speaking in general chat or forums before they have successfully earned 'not bad' status. So players who are decent, might actually fall back into the 'bads' category as a default, despite any rise in skill they may be achieving. Affectively these people are an essential black sheep and often troll and get trolled back. To be safe, one is recommended not to open his mouth until he reaches 'good.' Even being as high as 'decent' is 1 slippery slope comment from falling back down to the 'bads' category. A few players in history for example even reached skill levels as high as Pretty Good or Really Good, however are still joking called 'bad' in vent to mockingly refuse to acknowledge his achieved status.
Noteworthy playstyles
It's your 15 bucks, you can play how you want. Yeah, well, we are watching you play. You may not get respect from the community. In fact, many of the following playstyles create a need to self-promote as the confirmation of skill level is not acknowledged from enemy or ally.
The Farmer: Only plays in premades and farms kills when it's safe.
DK-tard: Damaz Kron retard, AKA KDR-tard or Kill to Death ratio retard. Plays the game to raise KDR to later brag. Sadly this just looks like a lot of hiding or fleeing on my end. Runs from fights he could possibly win, which would have elevated him a level on the skill level tree, however too afraid to try.
Zerg Surfer: Player or guild who wants nothing to do with a real fight or to test theirselves. Is comfortable progressing through the game with a strength in numbers mentality. Does not associate himself or can see himself as a good player.
Bads (guild version) Many guilds will venture out but not too far away from the zerg and are built with enough toughness and gear to survive a quick kite back to the safety of the zerg. These groups are obvious and aren't fooling anyone. These groups are typically 1-2 good players away from being an all around sick group, but probably mainly consist of farmers or DK-tards which have chased away the good players.
Lamer: Player who does attempt to stand out skill wise, but uses cheats, hacks, glitches, crashing in game items or exploits to avoid death or confrontation.
So, where do you fall in?
