I don't understand the community of first person shooters. If you're good at something that you enjoy then you are either a hacker or have no life. Neither of these are the reality. I have no experience in hacking and I hardly have time to play any video games due to homework and errands that I have to do on a daily basis. People just need to realize their level of gaming and accept it. It's worse if you're new to the game. The harassment changes from you having no life to you just simply being a scrub. Even your team will yell at you for bringing them down. There is no escape from the harassment. If you mute the people then they can still send you messages complaining about how angry they are. Reporting them to the gaming company does nothing. They just get warnings. Even if they get banned they can just create a new account and be in another game within 10 minutes harassing another person. I just want to play a game without having to have an argument with people that I would never talk to in my life. If you're bad then don't complain. If you're good then don't run around taunting everyone. Just show that you're better than your opponents by simply doing better than them. If you're faced with competition it will make you better. There is no point in yelling at someone for being better than you. I just want to play a game without being verbally harassed to the point where I need to yell and taunt the people back so that they'll leave the game.
I am not familiar with the gaming world. I agree with your point that some people are just naturaly good. There will always be "bullies". Is there some way to block these jerks comments?Your blog was insightful. It is sad that some people have to ruin others fun! Enjoy your games, its a great stress relief!
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about the gaming world, but I loved your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin plays video games all the time, i know exactly what your talking about. People should worry about there self.
ReplyDeleteIf little kids and people with no lives play games then what do you expect out of them? I am no gamer myself but my boyfriend is a game fiend. Give him any game and in a few minutes he has all the know how he needs. All the time i hear people over live either being stupid or complaning about being killed. Neither will faze my boyfriend because he knows it's all in good fun. As a non-gamer i can say i hate being killed all the time as well. Miranda Scott
ReplyDeleteI agree.......can't we just have friendly competition without the taunting and the harassment. What happened to good old fashioned fun? I think this was a great blog.
ReplyDeletePeople are people.
ReplyDeleteI play Call of Duty on Xbox LIVE and I can see where whoever wrote this is coming from. Whenever I win a game I hear someone from the other team say how I'm bad and need to go outside and get a life.
ReplyDeletei dont know anything about games but i dont think people should be harassed about a game. its just a game.
ReplyDeleteI understand, I do not play video games much but I understand the feelings that can be found from the harrassment and it's just a game so they should chill and get a life if they need something to yell at and not live in the game
