Do gamers understand what "trade" means?!

Sorry. Normally i wouldn't start a day off with an INSTANT RANT...but this just was a "GAH!" moment...

So, playin a little Lost Planet 2 this morning...Faction match to be specific...it was supposed to be an easy victory, cuz our team, the NEVEC black ops, managed to get 8 people in, while the Rounders could only muster 5 guys. Well, one of my abilities i use is a VS ability, makin it easy for me to use VS's...so i do!

anyways...one of the guys on my team was obviously still relatively new to the game. He was driving a VS and spotted that i had a VS with a Laser Lance on it (basically, a laser sword...pretty sweet, but consumes thermal like nobodys business). Well, he stated he wanted mine and did we want to trade. Sounded fair to me, i didnt mind, i just wanted to pilot some kinda VS. As he approached i noticed his buddy was holding onto the side of his VS, so obviously they werent TOTAL noobs, but i digress...Well, he got out and i got out. He got in mine. When i went to get in his, i noticed his was fairly beat up, and since we were pretty off from the main fighting, i decided to repair it abit, since my VS ability lets me repair quicker as well. Suddenly, the guy riding on the side waited til i had it completely repaired, hopped in, and thrustered off! I coulda sworn i heard him laughing with his buddy about it...

WHAT THE CRAP?! THAT WAS MY VS!! ITS CALLED A TRADE, NOT A F'N CHOP SHOP DROP OFF!

ok...needless to say, i was a little irritated, cuz the 2 idiots proceeded to just jack around and "practice" their VS dashing and hovering "skills"...and we LOST! An 8vs5 TDM match...as we lost...

thats it for now...taking a small break from LP2...but i wouldnt put it past the game to suprise me with idiocy again...
