The Top 5 Things I Hate About Online Gamers

#1, Hacking/Glitching/Cheating.

Come guys, get real. Those who call themselves 'gamers' can't possibly expect to anyone agree when they cheat. Gamers play to the rules accordingly and express good conduct.

#2, Childish Behaviour.

This primarily happens in Gears Of War 2 for me. There will always be the race for the frag grenades, or the sniper/torque bow, and if you happen to get it, someone will decide to be a tool and throw smokes at you, and will always intentionally get in your way. This will usually result in both you and your annoying teammate, dying.

#3, Kill Stealing.

Even though this may happen to everybody, it's still a really annoying act that keeps coming up. You know in CoD or GoW, you get someone in last stand or get them down, and someone else comes out of nowhere and steals your kill. Come on guys, that really isn't cool.

#4, Kids.

Yeah, we all know it. Put in CoD, GoW, Halo 3, or any other 17+ rated game, and you always get those little high-pitched voices that never seem to SHUT UP.

#5, Excessive Swearing.

Seriously, is all this profanity really needed? Especially with kids as well, they seem to swear like sailors with no sail on their boat. It really isn't a good thing to do, because all the swearing usually starts with an argument, which only INCREASES the swear count.

So yeah, this is basically what sort of ruins online gaming for me. Anyone else with me here?

Well just wanted to say that for #4 you can't really hate kill-counting cause I don't think it's done purposeful. I mean if I'm playing CoD and I'm sniping and somebody comes into my scope I'm shooting.. I'm not looking around to see if you're already shooting at him.

I can imagine how much of a better place Xbox live would be if we could get rid of all the Immature kids.

Oh, thevices of online gaming. But yeah, it's everywhere.

Kinda makes you want to stick with just your friends online, eh?

I hate when little kids try to pick a fight with you for no reason. Like you kill them, or they think you're hacking, so they start screaming swear words around and claim to have reported you "50 times". People like that, I just mute.

Your list is the whole reason I deleted my XBL account. I just couldn't handle it anymore. I do play BlazBlue online on my friend's PS3 and 360 though :P.

1.) Hacking/Cheaters/Glitchers are quite bad, but usually they are kicked easily when I play games with guys like that.

2.) I find this to be a bigger problem I encounter than the hackers, cheaters, etc. Idiots who do that can really ruin a game.

3.) Kill stealing is not a big deal for me.

4.) Kids are easy to deal with; MUTE.

5.) Swearing does not bother me that much when you are playing with friends or adults online, but listening to the kids swear like crazy while trying to act hard and tough can get on my nerves. Again I just mute them.

I can only wish there was away to enforce an age 17+ rule....superdav42

#6: Griefing.

People that play just to ruin other people's gaming experience really need to see a shrink.

It's funny for about 10 seconds.

How can you even do that, purposely piss people off in their spare time playing a videogame for fun. It just blows my mind on so many levels.

This topic pretty much sums up the reasons why I have never tried online gaming, and never will.

Single-player games FTW.:)

Yep, I agree with all of them.

However, I have a a question for all of you. If I am 13 and I use my mic, but I really sound like I'm 15-17 and don't spam the mic, will you guys still say "gtfo"

This is why I love hosting my own servers on PC.

Hacking? Banned.

Childish Behavior? Banned.

Immature Kids? Banned.

Excessive Swearing? Banned.

Although for kill stealing, I'm not really paying attention to my team mates, I'm focused on killing the enemy. It happens, it sucks, but its not the end of the world. You've probably done the same thing to someone else and not even notice.

its still worth it though
