i played zone long enough to know the main players get easily jealous of the newer ones who use strong guns.
veteran has (example) a shotty. a newer player has a DS or something. the new player kills the 'oldbie.' the oldbie in turn usually says one of 2 things.
1) "atleast i own without strong weapons" or 2) "its so lame that you need something that strong to win"
it was the newer players choice to use that gun, it was the older ones choice to use something sucky. a nub's a nub, regardless of their stuff, that oldbie is just as big a nub if he cant handle someone who is "so lame they need something strong to win."
