Gratz!
It'd pretty much a reflex for me at this point.
Personally, I enjoy saying "Congratulations." and typing it out by hand every time. It's something I enjoy, and I have very little sympathy for people bugged by things this little.

Dang... my keybind isn't working on this post. I tap the numpad 7 key and... nothing.
I find it truly amazing that people have reached the point where something as inoccuous as saying "gratz" gets under their skin. I can understand getting upset over people griefing you, using the slap emote on female characters, calling people out in broadcast, spamming blind invites, and a host of other things, but seriously, "gratz"?
You managed to combine a lack of social graces, misplaced priorities, and an overeagerness to be irritated. Gratz on the whole trolling thing. I'd give you a 7 out of 10. Maybe an 8/10 if you post again claiming to be offended by this.

I'd like everyone to refer to this link to Urban Dictionary (mildly NSFW website--get back to work anyway, slacker) and look over the list of phrases and definitions provided. Upon finding a satisfactory one, I implore you to use only that term when referring/replying to Part_Troll from now on.
I, personally, am a fan of Gary Grumpy-Pants, possibly accompanied by a frowning emoticon like
somewhere in or near the name.
Blue: ~Knockback Squad on Guardian~
Red: ~Undoing of Virtue on [3 guesses]~
Social conventions are serious business.
I'm cracking up at the tags even more than the responses XD

Hmmm...I personally have no problem with it being said.
Though being on Virtue, I don't care for it when people say it IC. I mean really, that glow that happens when you level up, I see as a OOC effect, that just shows you've leveled. Kinda like how I don't think the glow that says "hey you remembered to click the power on" has to mean that the glow is seen IC.
But that's just me.

I do think it's a bit silly to convey congratulations for something so easy as gaining levels in CoH/CoV. Maybe do so at certain levels, say 20 because you can earn a cape (not really), or 32 because you can get your *cough* uber power, or at 40 when you've reached the endgame levels.
I offer condolences at level 50.

The people in the game, the people in the forum, the same bunch of ruminating sheep. I am not surprised. 100% unsurprised. You'll all go on 'congratulating' level 1's for dinging level 2 to 7 on the average sewer team. Every. Single. One. Every. Single. Time. And you'll probably take away from the experience a sense of worldly belonging, some kind of ersatz camaraderie based on the simplest of game-experiences, where the critters are woefully underpowered, presenting as much challenge as 'fighting your way out of a sodden paper bag'.
There is no kudos in going from level 3 to 4, or level 40 to 41. None. There is no need for the entire team to individually 'gratz' the team-member who just 'dinged', it would make zero difference to the gameplay.
The people who, in all seriousness, suggest that the occasional (or in some cases, constant) utterance of 'gratz' represents the 'only player interaction on a PUG team', I can tell you that your sense of perspective is flawed. Teams should be -actually- communicative, not mindless spam-a-ritualized-comment-at-the-required-juncture. Teams should talk about the mission at hand, the encounter around the corner, how to approach the gathering of the next missions, what arcs/tasks would be most appropriate for a functional team at whatever level they are at.
Mindlessly grunting 'gratz' does not comprise meaningful intercourse.
You people quite obviously have an unbreakable attachment to this stylized charade, and no amount of reason/logic will deter you from your -belief- that social grease needs to be applied -non stop-. It becomes a religious argument. And takes on a life of it's own, immune from logic, the antithesis of reason. I hope you enjoy the stigmata you so obviously crave.
Newsflash. Redundant utterances are redundant!
Get over yourselves.
Ah, and to the person suggesting a pogrom against a forum poster, not based upon content, but solely upon 'the act of posting', you're contravening the precious rules of this precious resource, precious. A tiny hint.
Take care.

Hello, I am Lemur Lad, a sparkling and witty conversationalist on teams who also says gratz when someone levels. I think this means both halves of my brain function, but according to some they do not. Will you be my friend?

'Should' and 'do' are different concepts. Also, for players familiar with the game, communicating strategy is rarely a necessity; not even remotely so in many cases.
