I honestly don't really find it's KIDS in particular who are ruining things - there are jackasses of all ages, and frankly most of the ones I encounter seem to be more young adults or older than actual kids.
Are the obnoxious kids online ruining the gaming community?

My gosh. I dont know how many times this has to be said but, its not the kids everytime. Theres a bunch of 20-30 year old assholes cursing into there headset as well.They are just as much of a problem.
That said, they are not ruining anything. You have a mute button. USE IT.

And don't bother to complain about hats and updates, those are just the icing on the cake.
I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Anyone who has had the internet provided to them from a very young age is not going to learn how to behave in normal society they just learn how to act in a situation where they are completely safe and never face any consequences like they would in the real world.Newtonyd said:
I've never really encountered much, though I do very much agree that sometimes there is some little prick on the mic whom you just want to reach through the internet and strangle. And it's not just kids...there are douchebags of all ages, races, genders, and creeds.
As for ruining it...nah. Sad fact of life: There are always going to be assholes. You can freak out and yell and complain about them...or you can mute them. It works in real life, too!

Obnoxious little kids have been playing mp games for as long as I can remember, hell I used to be one. So no, they are not ruining the gaming community otherwise we would have all left them a long time ago to fester in their own filth. Without us any shred of coherent thought and sanity would be lost.
by the "shitty prices" i think he was refering to xbox live, therefore no dedicated servers, random people all the time, no moderators, and the list goes on and on of what can go wrong.TheRussian said:Uh, really? Don't cater for teamwork?kman123 said:

i am a moderator in a tf2 all talk "not safe for work", and beside the "not safe for work" and "cursing allowed", everyone is very nice to each other. We just have to kick those who actually become annoying, doesn't happen too often.
Haven't really seen anything like that.
Although I don't game all that much online, when I do text is the main form of communication (pc gaming).

I have seen the rage first hand from the other end, I was at my sisters and all off a sudden there was huge commotion and shouting up stairs. We both went to investigate and saw my 14yr old nephew kicking the shit out of his Xbox and other stuff. Apparently he lost a grudge match and some dude killed him several times and called him a noob.
The most retarded thing was my sister replaced the console within a few weeks.

No not really. To me it's more the generation that grew up with the rise of gaming. A lot of those people seem to feel entitled to certain privileges because they were there from the beginning.
It's getting completely out of hand, the recent Bioware hate you see everywhere is a good example.

Well, they certainly aren't helping.
Inb4 stupid comments about how this is only the FPS community-oh shit. Too late.
Edit: I'll expand a bit more. I do acknowledge the fact that most pain in the gaming community comes from the people who play Call of Duty, or Halo, and nothing else, but I really do hate the way people who dislike FPS games like to use this as an excuse to insult anyone who likes to play FPS games in general.

Last week a boy asked me to send him a picture of my vagina. VAGINA! I had to log off- what ever happened to breasts, now they are on to vaginas?! That's why I usually party up.
