Am I a horrible "friend"

[Archangel72]

I am having a tough time thinking more about this concern that happened recently,

So months ago before B06 came out I was chatting to a co-worker about it. He was as enthused about zombies as I was, as was the other 2 guys I play with regularly. So I chatted to the other guys and we invited him into our "group"

He had not played yet but we had for like a month before he joined. He was always off by himself doing his thing, to note he was always low on the kill total, we all noted he never helped "buy doors".

Well my buddies and I would raz him about it a little to try and get him to "help" more.. Nope it never seemed to land.

Well we fast fwd'd to WZ release of Verdansk and we find, he's off on his on doing his thing, does not understand buy boxes, does not understand gun loadouts.
Makes me think he never learned how to mod guns in zombies.

His kill stats were awful. He was really weighing down the group.

I mentioned it to him to try and stick closer to the group and etc. But it never sank in. Been like what feels like a month of dragging him around. So After that I got sick of it the group talked and we all decided to drop him. So we did.. Did I mention I work with this poor guy?

So yeah no drama yet at work, being two grown men I do not expect there to be. However I told him last night we cut him due to his participation in the group not being good enough. In zombies it did not really matter a ton. In WZ thats like a diff between winning and coming in 10th or worse.

Anyway Its been weighing on me since I told him that..

From what I read it would seem to me that every effort was made to welcome him into the group and effort was put into managing his contribution to the needs of the group and how to achieve the goals of the group. At that point it was either his choice to remain as he was or to grow with the team.

The fact that his choice speaks volumes about how he would continue really left you with the decision that you made. Your decision was not made in haste and included discussion with the other two members. Do not feel bad about making a very human decision. Our time for enjoyment can be limited and needs to be used to the max and he was not allowing you to do that. There should be no drama about it from him and if it does happen it is coming from him not from you. Do not waste sleep being concerned about it. If the drama comes simply inform him that it is just a game and not something to carry over into real life. He is a lone wolf player and that is on him. No problem with that as is but not something that will always fit a team based match. Some people just want that sense of camaraderie but are not wired to adapt to the needs of the group. He will be fine and you will be fine. So lift that weight you are carrying because it is not yours to carry.
