Everyone knows that GS is frequented by good and bad players, and also by plenty of people who leave the game if they are losing. That is why GS games are held in disdain by a lot of people. I only go to GS as a last resort if no-one else is about.. Case in point...last night I waited round in GS looking for a game, then ended up setting up a 1v1 vs someone called Tripwire. After I got off to a good start, what happens? Tripwire drops, about ten minutes into the game. It's not a surprise, but it IS a pisser; that was ten minutes of frantic work on my part to dominate my opponent, only for my efforts to be thrown away by someone who isnt in til the end. Like I said, its not a surprise, in my experience any gamespy games which end with as many people as they started with are almost non-existent, unless they are the well know regulars, and even then.....

So yes, I personally feel like I'm scraping the barrel when I go to GS looking for a game..its a last resort. I joined a clan in the first place 2 yrs ago because it was just getting silly as SSF had just come out and everyone and his dog was on GS looking for a game. But even now there are still plenty of people about who are only interested in playing if they are on the winning side.
