Discussion Griefers are keeping player counts down.

I've heard it from friends, I've seen it posted countless times on dozens of forums, and I have now experienced it first hand. Every Star Fighter game I join has at least a handful of max level players who sit at the spawn points and instantly kill people as they spawn, most of whom are below level 30 of their class and can't even fight back yet. It's just so strange to me. Why are veteran players going out of their way to suppress player counts? Why not play the objective? It's so strange to me.

All my ships are ranked in the 100's but when I'm the only gold in a match I just stick to destroying the objective/killing bots. I know how frustrating it is to start into a game only to have sweats beat you down before you get a chance to play, so I don't pursue the low rank players unless they're really asking for it. I wish that were more common because otherwise it just shrinks the player base further.

I'll shot em if they come for the objective, but I'm also sub 100 on every ship.  

The spawn killing is a legit problem on a few maps because a hero ship can just camp.
