Really starting to hate modern gamers...

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.]

Hearthstone is fun to play too because there is no trolls to deal with or raging kids.

You can troll in Hearthstone too, you just can't type [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some asshole mage countering everything you try and trying to get a fast win? Start letting that timer go right down (within a second of ending) on every turn to slow them down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess some people will find anyway to be a dick. Grats.

literally only competitive game currently worth playing. it's massive fun with friends, and never alone. Solo CS has always been plebeian; you have to found a team if you want to access the real game. Plus the CS skills you've been storing up for the last 15 years are worth something. If you're any good at the game and have a deep sexy resonant commanding voice like mine, 90% of the kids will worship you anyway. CS is literally the only "big" modern game that doesn't have pathetic watered down gameplay, and it allows for real money gambling - I'm a pretty big fan at this point. 1st game worth playing in 5 or 6 years outside of indie world.

:3

The community and "competitive" scene is terrible, but is there any game without a shit community? Even P99's community is absolutely disgusting, and the barrier for entry is way higher than for a major game on Steam. As in all things you get out what you put in. What's great about CS is you can set apart yourself and your intellect with skill at the game and team management, and attract quality people that way.

The only equivalent here is skillful forumquesting and even then, what are you going to attract your forumquest friends to do? Binge on a shitty skill-free grind game until you hate your life again enough to quit? Pretend farming fungis to fund your welfare-level RMT scheme is "pvp"? Where's the catharsis?

Yes, the quality of online gamers, indeed "gamers" in general has significantly declined over the years. I think it all began with crappy "everyone-can-be-a-winner" games like Halo and such.

The culture has changed. I would prefer to not play with any of the younger bratty types if I could keep from it.

I used to play Zombie Panic! and was banned and perma-banned on several servers for the exclusive reason that I was significantly better than everyone else by a massive margin. I was accused of "hacking" or "auto-aim" when they couldn't fathom how crappy they were. Instead of improving themselves it's easier to bring others down.

Also, a lot of those who never played EQ back in the day and came from WoW are some of the nastiest people. Also, they are nearly worthless players in general.

In my opinion the Golden Age of Gaming was from about 1995 to about 2003~

The WoW/Call of Duty era gamers ruined online gaming.

It's probably that you're older now and hate younger people because they are annoying little shits, which I think is pretty much the natural order of things.
