Do All The Quitters In Multiplayer Games Tell You Something About Humanity?

last of us multiplayer has so many quitters its ridiculous. goes to show how many thin-skinned people there are. can't deal with any type of adversity (even forms of VIRTUAL adversity) that they throw a hissy fit and quit so their feelings dont get hurt.

don't get me wrong, i'm sure there are plenty of kids and teens that play these games, but the sad thing is the majority are grown men. there's plenty of emotionally stunted adults out there

I don't give a damn if it's a team based game.

Quitters in 1V1 annoy me.

You need to elaborate. are you talking about people rage quiting because of loss or arguements?MBirdy88

If they do it on XBL, just report them. It is f*cking annoying, especially in battlefield 3 on rush when you lose a base, half the team just rage quitsRR360DD

I rage quit all the time. Can't stand losing.

When i was younger i used to alt+f4 my way out of every game when i lose.

Eventually i stopped playing mp and even when i do i rarely quit.

Is that server based in america? I use european servers, usually play on a french one called Ruee because its 24/7 rush on operation metro lol

I think the things you hear people say over a mic says a little more.

Look at my video of BF3, the chat box is in the top left, plenty of hate in there.

If I am getting my ass handed to me I quit because Im not having fun. Why would I continue to play if I am not having fun?

I dont expect to be the winner all the time and I dont mind losing when I am against someone of my own skill range, or slightly better than me because its a challenge and its fun but when I get in a game where I am just getting slaughtered left and right I quit because there is no challenge, just frustration.

I also quit when no one playing is taking the game seriously. They are just yelling and cursing, my team mates dont work together and make us lose because they are screwing off, someone cheating, or any number of things.

Its just a video game, if youre going to get pissed off because people quit out all the time you either have to deal with it or stop playing games online.

Yeah I barely notice when it's a team game.

I don't have a problem with people that quit a team game. It would be better to finish out the round, but I can say in a game like Battlefield or Call of Duty if I get in a game that super one-sided, and especially if it's a clan vs randoms situation where it just looks stupid - I will tend to just want to find a better game myself. I would never quit in a game just because I randomly myself got dominated by one other player - but if the whole team was imbalanced (i.e. spawn base raping) I get the hell out. It's nothing about "rage-quitting" either, there's no rage at all, it's just looking for a more fun game.

 

About the only situation where I can see it being annoying, is 1 vs 1 like you say. Especially if they quit right before the round ends *AND* the game is stupid enough to not count it as a W-L for the stats. It would get hella annoying to be a good player and constantly have to deal with losers quiting. 

Online stats cause this more than rage.

If there weren't any public WIN/LOSS or KILL/DEATH records or ratios for people, nobody would quit unless they were simply bored.

But so many games track stats now that people think their personal records are somehow a measurement of their game-playing skill.

I wish people would play multiplayer games to have fun with each other, not to DESTROY THE OPPONENTS AND GET ON THE LEADERBOARDS.

Yes.

It tells me that you should post this in your blog.

[QUOTE="Doom_HellKnight"]This. If you're looking for "humanity" in multiplayer games, you're doing it wrong.parkurtommo

Hahaha, that's the only kind of humanity I look for online. :P

It's not bad in most games, except MOBAs.

Based on the times I've quit out of games? It tells me that the teams you're playing on suck so badly that you not only have no chance of winning, you have virtually no chance of staying alive for more than 30 seconds at a time.

A lot of people cant stand losing i dont know why that is so hard to understand TC??

so you are telling me that if you get spawn trapped in a MP game and enemy killing you 100 times you wouldnt rage quit?

Why should I have to deal with adversity, I'm playing a f***ing game not climbing Everest. Obviously you're going to expect a challenge but when the entire enemy team is camping in the same room, or using shit tactics whilst your moronic teammates continuously run into their fire I'd say it's pretty fair to leave that game. Especially in an objective based game where you literally have a 0% chance of winning because of things like that, why should I put up with that when I can leave, find another game, and have fun whilst playing.bobbetybob

i think that shows how little patience they have.

No because video games are just that video games. It has nothing to do with being childish or thin skinned. If I am in a match where my team is obviously being snowballed then I'll just quit the match and go find another. There's no point in wasting time prolonging the inevitable.

I even quit when I'm winning, but it's because of shitty connection. :P

lol, TC you should really avoid playing DOTA2. I have never seen so many leavers in a single game. Before I got into DOTA 2, SMITE was my game of choice. And I think its because SMITE is more laid back and less "tournament orientated" so people are generally more relaxed. In the year or so that I played SMITE, less than 10 games have had leavers. DOTA on the other hand, EVERY SINGLE MATCH i have played has had a leaver. Sometimes its with the first 5 min, sometimes its 20 minutes into the match, But I have yet to play a complete game where someone doesn't quit cause they got ganked, or they suck and are blaming their entire team for it, or some such nonsense.II_Seraphim_II

You should study Videogame Philosophy.

Hackers make me quit.

I don't play with trash talkers or asses. Although being bad skillwise doesn't bother me, I don't mind playing with noobs, but hate ragers.
