Greedy Fortnite players

OMG, can we talk about how wild Fortnite players get when there's a crown involved? 👑 Seriously, it's like a switch flips the moment that victory crown is on the line or someone gets *knocked*! I swear, everyone, even your own teammates sometimes, suddenly transforms into a 'Filthy little Hobbit' eyeing your 'precious' crown. It's not just about the win anymore; it's about that shiny, elusive crown, and the bragging rights that come with it. I had this insane match last week that perfectly illustrates this 'get greedy Fortnite' phenomenon. I was having an amazing run, had managed to secure a few eliminations, and was proudly rocking a crown. Then, boom, sniped out of nowhere from an unexpected angle. I'm *knocked*, bleeding out, and what do I see? My teammate, who was literally right next to me, ignores my revive pings and instead focuses on finishing off the guy who knocked me, then immediately goes for my crown! Like, come on! We could have easily both survived if they had just revived me first. But no, the allure of that crown was just too strong. It genuinely felt like they were screaming, 'They stole it from us!' about my crown before even bothering with a revive. It's like, hello? We're on the same team! This 'get greedy' mentality isn't just about crowns, though it's definitely amplified by them. It extends to loot, too. Ever had a teammate land on your marked spot, vacuum up all the good loot, and leave you with a grey pistol and no shield? Or the classic 'thirsting' where someone ignores an ongoing fight to finish off a knocked opponent just for the extra elimination points or loot, leaving their team in a 3v4 situation? It's absolutely infuriating when you're trying to play strategically and someone's just chasing that immediate gratification. I totally get that Fortnite is a competitive game, and everyone wants to win. But sometimes the greed just takes over good sportsmanship or even smart strategic play. It makes you wonder if some players even care about winning as a team, or just their individual stats and that one extra crown to show off next match. It can really impact the team dynamic and make the game less fun. So, how do you deal with it? If it's opponents being greedy, sometimes you can actually use it to your advantage – they might overextend for a finish, leaving themselves vulnerable. If it's teammates, well, that's tougher. Good communication can sometimes help, like saying 'Revive first, then loot!' or 'Leave me some ammo!' But often, you just have to adapt to their playstyle or, if it's a recurring issue, maybe find a new squad that aligns better with how you like to play. It's a common struggle in the Fortnite community, for sure. What are your thoughts? Have you experienced situations where players get greedy for crowns or loot?
