Really starting to hate modern gamers...
So this is a bit of a vent, and rant... I'm 29, got into online gaming around 98/99. One of the things that drew me in was just how many awesome people I got to play with, and the fun times you'd have playing multiplayer in whatever it may be....
It seems like in the past few years, the gaming community has gotten worse.... It feels like the annoying 12 year olds in call of duty from 8 years ago are fellow adults now, but they grew up to be shitty adults. Any of you feel this way? I just played a game of CS GO, and on the 2nd round being the last person alive on my team, I kill 2 people and then die and we lose the round, and my team vote kicks me, and I get a 2 hour ban..... I'm sure the guys on my team thought it was just frikken hilarious, but this kind of trolling seems rampant in all aspects of gaming now, it's like it's awesome and coveted to be just outright toxic to people you are playing with. Anyways.... it's sad to see the next generation of gaming culture ruining one of my favourite sanctuaries, is it too much to ask for people to not be entirely shitty to one another while doing a recreational activity that is supposed to be centred around FUN?

In 1999, the average online gamer was in their thirties. Today, the average online gamer is thirteen and has never been hit in the mouth.

As a 30something playing modern games you just have to learn that most the people you are playing with are kids and they are stupid and don't know any better. Having a 14 year old son i can see how 12-14 year old act anymore and it basically the same way they act in video games. It's a instant gratification society anymore no matter how hard you try and steer them away there is always the peer pressure to be a dick to someone etc. Too many parents out there that don't give a rats ass about teaching their kids such things as manners and morals.

And P99 is no different to any other game regarding immaturity factor... Take this shaman that joined my SolB group a couple weeks ago. He was pretty much perma AFK for about half hour before we booted him, not buffing, slowing one random mob out of every 10 if that, not sitting while medding for literally 10 minutes straight while AFK without warning, then complaining that hes perma OOM when he did pop back to his PC, ignoring tells for melee buffs to the 3 monks we had. At one point we all counted how many mobs we killed before he actually even moved, it got to 22 mobs before he 'twitched' slightly, didnt cast, then another 11 mobs before he actually sat to med. Hilarious. So, needless to say we removed him, I sent him a tell saying "Let me know when you're back bud" - and he replied in /say to all of us with "you're all trash players anyway, laters". We had hard lols. Point is - these people are everywhere, not just in CS, CoD, Halo, etc... | |||

Like other posters have touched on.... Being a "gamer" used to be a weird sub genre culture that the majority of people didn't bother with. Having a massive collection of games, with hardcore gamer friends growing up was different, and like someone earlier mentioned allowed you an outlet away from people you didn't want to spend time with.... and now EVERYONE games. The full retards have infected the internet en mass.

Will never forget the time I hit "random" on Battlefield 3 and entered a metro map with a huge ticket count (which meant the game wouldn't end for probably an hour or more).
What I didn't realize straight away, despite knowing that EA had ca$$$hed in by giving everyone the chance to run their own server how they wanted, was that I was on the enemy team to the admins of that server. What had been a progressive stomp by the admin team was almost evening out. Holy shit, I was killing too many of them too often. Guess what happens next? They move me to their team... I stopped playing for a couple of minutes and got kicked. People are assholes. It's on P99 too (blue particularly with camp lawyering). Some people, if there's an opportunity to be a total dick, will make that move every time, though we are blessed here considering what's "out there". Assholes in Counterstrike? I'd expect that. There's always Magic the Gathering Online... if it ever gets completely out of hand on the internet you know that'll be a safe haven [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||
