you make even people getting paranoid about this and getting salty even if they get killed by controller players, how to ruin community from the inside
Dont worry too much about that, as people would complain about something anyways, even if xim didnt exist.
They would complain about the guy that is using a Scuf Controller for 150 USD and is able to jumpshot/dropshot while aiming precisely, thanks to the backpedals; or someone with a 350 USD headset and Amp who is soundwh0ring like a pro; or someone who is using KontrolFreeks thumbstick attachments to be able to aim more precisely; or someone who is using an expensive 120Hz monitor on Xbox X to have lower inputlag; or someone who is playing on a 4K monitor with Xbox X and can see enemies and the environment better due to significantly higher resolution while the complaining person is still playing on a 1954 TV; or this or that...
See- if you spend more money than the average person on the enhancements- you can gain a significant advantage, things that Ive mentioned above. But since playing Pubs in COD is a casual activity, you can win no prizes or anything like that, there is little incentive for devs or anyone else to take steps against KBM adapters like XIM or T2.
If I didnt have the XIM, I would definitely have to spend 150 USD on a controller like Xbox Elite controller or something similar for the PS4, in order to not get wrecked by all these Scuf/Elite controller kids who jumpshot/dropshot left and right, simply because having backpedals is a significant advantage over the default controllers on xb1/ps4. Trigger stoppers in those controllers are a significant advantage too, since you can tap them faster and shot bolt action weapons faster, adjustable thumbstick height and DZ allows for more precise and faster/more optimized aiming.
Gamers today take competitive online games way too seriously, even when playing pubs in COD, most especially in competitive game modes like R6, Overwatch, Apex, Fortnite etc. Nowadays nobody could compete in those modes/games, if you play on a 10 year old TV using TV speakers, standard controller, standard consoles (non pro/non X) with fps drops and low resolution etc.
So if youre serious about doing good online, you have to spend a sigificant ammount of money for all the gear. Which brings us to the main point- xim only costs 100 dollars and it is a more intuitive/ergonomical way to play fps games. It doesnt mean necessarily that you will do better, but you can play for longer periods of time without pain in arms/hands etc. and wont get tired as fast probably. Naturally- ppl who are kinda competitive in their nature, even if it is just a pubs mode in COD, will spend money for all the enhancement devices and also buy the xim and try it.
Essentially, you can buy it yourself for just 100 dollars and see how much better or worse you will do in COD. The fact of the matter is- if you cant beat them, join them; there is no other viable alternative to that in 99.9999% of scenarios.
I have a theory that only morrons complain about xim who are bad with Keyboard and Mouse but average with the controller (some of them might even tried to play with xim/t2/cm but essentially sucked), BUT there are some amazing KBM players out there. And so because these clowns suck with KBM, they want everyone to move back to the trash method with a controller, where these clowns would feel better about themselves beeing average/slightly above average with the controller.
But thats not how it works and just wishful thinking. Getting down to the lower denominator is nonsense when an ergonomically superiour and more intuitive input method exists.
It is like someone beeing a good driver of 1950s racing cars, but cant adapt to Formula 1 vehicles and compete with that and whining to the F1 comission to go back to 1950s racing cars, so that they will have a chance at competing.
The competition will not step down to the lower denominator, just to give a whiny moron better chances at competing.
