These people are everywhere now. They repeat the same nonsense over and over again. Usually with increased volume for mic'd games and with more !s for text. They do it just to try to push your buttons or entice you into an arguement. They think if they can induce some anger in you enough to respond that they somehow won something. These people should be sterilized.
I've played some mw3 in the last few days. Every match two of these idiots will go at it spouting a repetition of the same insult at each other until it finally devolves into a continuous monotone sound to drown out the other person. I like to imagine the sound is them choking on their own microphone.
Sadly, it's not just a gaming thing anymore. These people act like this in normal life as well. At this point, I welcome the zombie apocalypse. It would be an upgrade in social etiquette.
The point is not anyone's sensitivity. I ignore most negativity that comes my way. I'm just saying that whether or not you get upset from it, your opinion is still the most childish part of this whole thing. You shouldn't attempt to set the bar of maturity when you don't understand the concept.
I think the guy is either trolling, foreign ("foreign" in this case meaning not from North America or Europe), actually 12, or some combination of the three. The way he types really seems like he learned English from playing MapleStory or something rather than in school or from actual socializing.
I ran into my own group of dense players in sPvP. I was the only one on my team capping points (which proved futile), and everyone else was fighting at the spawn. When we lost, one guy on my team started bitching and name-calling about "spawn camping". When I told him that name-calling just makes him look like a bad player, people on the other team thought I was calling them bad and started calling me names. The entire thing erupted into a free-for-all flame war until the servers went down.

They are everyone man, real life and online. Douchebags are douchebags whether online or not, it's worse online obviously.

When you don't rely on subscription revenues you have much less incentive to ignore your terms and conditions.
OP you get idiots in all walks of life, incomprehensible Neanderthals are pretty low on the scale of irritant. I get far more upset by people that screw up pugs that can be an hour or two of your life wasted. GW 2 has mechanisms that render someof my pet peeves moot.
Every community has its bad players, but I do agree that the B2P/F2P communities usually have a higher ratio of them.
Games that focus on PvP, especially eSport brand PvP, are usually even worse.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
Oh please... I've already engaged WoW-fanboy-trolls in ZONECHAT during the FIRST BWE.
With great games come great trolls. (And really, anything that flashes brightly on a big screen attracts a portion of your average kiddies...)
OP, is that you?
That's pretty much exactly what I did. =P
Huh ?
What exactly are you on about ?
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
Oh look, here's one right now!
