No respect for fellow gamers. The Era of impatient and disrespectful gamers

You now after about of year of this is think it's time this be said.

You cant trust gamers. They have no morals or respect for their fellow gamer.

After a year of this i noticed that gamers are selfish, rude, impatient and so on.

It started with bioshock 2. Poeple where looking to boost and i wanted to get 1 trophy out of the so i can platinum. I offered to help a bunch of people. We all agreed on a time and day, but then they would go and play it with other people who where on at the time. I always got well i want the trophy now i know we all agreed to this time but i found a new group of people to play with or when i was playing these people let me join them. They would leave the others out to dry.

We were just short 1 and i told the others i would find another person as soon as i did another person got impatient and left or decided to quit playing. it was a never ending cycle of finding someone to replace someone who left just to have another leave. I finally gave up on bioshock 2 did it the long and hard way and didnt bother to look for people on that game.

My other complaint is people not being courteous. I would ask them when they could play and set up times to accommodate them and they would show up on time or at all. Always i had something to do or something came up. You know its not that hard to get on and say hey i dont know if i can make it if i'm on we will play if not lets do it another day. I find myself waiting for them for 30 mintues to hour before i just left. An adult would informer people of things and not keep people waiting. This happened to me in another game where i worked around some guy he said i can play this day and time. When the time came he was playing a different game and didnt even bother to respond to my messages about playing. Then 1-2 hours later he's like ok i'm ready to play lets play.

Or you get those people who use the old line i have a life and a girlfriend which A everyone has a life it's called living for a reason. The only difference if what you do in and with your life. B we know that 97% of those who say that dont have girlfriends or a wife.

But what set me off is i was going to do dead rising 2 co-op with someone today. I invite him into a chat to go over what we will do in the first run and while i was looking at the guide he left the chat and deleted me from friends list right as he started playing with someone else.

You know i can understand being impatient when someone says they want to join but only plays once a week or less or is in a different time zone and you can't play together. Causes its hard to wait on them, but when someone accommodates to your schedule and you do that. Well that i dont get.

With trophies and achievements it's made gamers to impatient and i think it's hard to find reliable, responsible, mature, curteous (well you get the point) gamers.
