Many people complain about why Koreans in the Korean server often kick Chinese players. Some people speculate that it's because of low Chinese player conduct, such as骂 (insulting) Koreans or that Koreans look down on Chinese people.
Actually, it’s not entirely like that. There are many reasons behind this phenomenon.
After personally experiencing being kicked countless times from the Korean server, I’ve come up with several hypotheses:
1. **Koreans Love to Chat**: Many Koreans prefer chatting over playing games. Some Chinese players who don’t understand Korean just press F1 (ready) as soon as they enter the room. Due to the language barrier, Koreans can't verbally ask us to leave or chat. We keep pressing ready, but since the Korean DJ isn't playing, they have no choice but to kick us out. This is one of the biggest reasons.
2. **Koreans Are Waiting for Friends**: Sometimes, Koreans are waiting for others or their friends. If a Chinese player presses ready and keeps spamming pinyin or English to urge them to play, but they don’t understand Chinese or English, will they comply? Instead, they might get annoyed and kick you out. Also, they may not want to play with strangers due to the lack of communication, so they kick you out.
3. **Korean Room Owners Leave Their Rooms Idle**: Like in the Chinese server, Koreans also have vanity. In a busy channel (non-newbie channel), you'll see many rooms with VIP or EVEN labels at the top. Just like in China, these rooms often have only one person left or all observer slots closed. It’s clear that they’re idling their rooms just to gain fame. As the saying goes, "big trees attract all kinds of birds."
4. **Koreans Prefer Quiet Environments**: They enjoy chatting but dislike seeing a long string of letters. If you talk too much, they won’t understand what you're saying, which irritates them. To them, it feels like spamming. No wonder you get kicked out.
5. **Some Koreans Are Rude**: They kick you without any reason. You can imagine that these are the minority, but some are just jerks who do jerk things.
6. **Some Koreans Like Being First**: They don’t like being beaten to first place. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s their peculiar preference. If someone takes first place from them, they kick them out.
In reality, after playing on the Korean server, I found these Koreans aren’t as bad as I imagined. Some are quite friendly and don’t immediately kick Chinese players like cats chasing mice. In fact, there were times when I got first place, and they didn’t kick me; instead, they said “GOOD!” I even communicated with some Koreans in English and learned what they think.
**How to Avoid Being Kicked:**
- If you enter a room and see all the doors closed, I suggest you exit. They might be idling their room.
- If you enter a room and see Koreans chatting but no one pressing ready, if this continues for more than 15 seconds, I suggest you exit. They’re chatting and not playing.
- If you enter a room and see Koreans not chatting, not typing anything, just pressing ready, I suggest you avoid talking too much and just dance quietly.
- If you win first place three or four times in a row, I suggest you exit. Be careful, they might kick you (unless it’s a friend).
- For important VIP and EVEN rooms, it’s best not to enter. Most of these are Koreans showing off, not really playing, but looking for romance or just hanging out with friends. It’s safer not to enter.
- If you’re invited by a Korean and you don’t see them preparing, don’t worry, they won’t kick you.
**How to Avoid Being Kicked by Chinese Players?**
I haven’t figured this out yet. You’ll have to figure it out yourself.
Can Chinese players kick other Chinese players? Only if they’re enemies.
So, now you understand why Koreans often kick Chinese players, right?
