What do you think his answer would be if you said "don't ever bring that ship you love against me cause it sucks"?

I can tell you precisely what his answer would be, because I've told him I don't want to play against Kylo (crew) ever again, even though I haven't lost to it yet. His response was, "ok, no problem." If he wants to use Kylo in a list, he has other friends he can do that with. I have a different friend who told me (pre-nerf) that he never wanted to play against Dengaroo again. My response? "Ok, no problem."

Fiesta is absolutely right... it is best when both people sitting down to play X-wing will be happy with the experience, and communication is the key to accomplishing that. Same goes for transaction or relationship, business or personal.

Let's imagine I'm in a casual game setting with a theoretical opponent and I whip out a list and he says, "ugh, I'd really rather not face that list." Assuming I have another list I can bring out instead (which I always do), I have three options. I can say, "ok, no problem," I can ask him to reconsider (and he can agree or refuse), or I can say "Well that's what you're getting." If I say the latter, he then in turn has the option of sucking it up, or he can say "Fine, we won't play then." Nobody is forcing him to play a game he doesn't want to play, no matter what I may think I'm entitled to.

And if he puts away his ships or goes and plays with somebody else, everything you've said indicates that you would probably consider him to be in the wrong for that. To which I say, you have a strange concept of entitlement. I hope your stance on dating and consent is a bit more enlightened...

I'm pretty sure that makes you an ass.

If someone wants to play a casual game with you and they specifically request not to have to play against some obnoxious Kylo RAC bull, and you insist on Kylo RAC anyways, you're the *******.

If it's a tournament, then okay that's a fine attitude to have. But if someone just wants a pickup game, don't insist upon your turbo squad.

Some players enjoy playing things that ruin the fun of everyone else. They want to continue being able to use what they play even though it shuts off everyone else's ability to have fun. They'd hate any nerfs or bans of the thing they like more than they'd hate people quitting the game because of the toxic ship or upgrade card or whatever it is they play.

It's like they're militant tryhards. Not even casual games are safe from Kylo RAC.
