I quit playing L4D because every online server was plagued by mods or was full of people who would run ahead and complain the tank killed them without us helping or they would just play annoying songs over the mic constantly.
Games that you stopped playing because of other players.

When I got GTA 4, I only tried the multiplayer function once and never game. I went to three different games, and each one of them was overrun by 9 year olds (by 9 year olds I simply mean kids who clearly having gone through puberty yet). Sorry folks, but I just can't stand the sound of children's voices on my headset. When I'm playing an M for Mature game, I expect to be playing with mature people, not kids with parents who don't give a damn about what their kids are playing.
It's already been said, but League of Legends. I was in beta, got my nice blue forum avatar and private adjudicator forum (which really means nothing, apart from being in closed beta). I was really invested in it, and had a large group of friends that played it.
Sure, random people in LoL can be complete asshats, but League of Legends turned quite a few of my friends against each other, and some have not spoken in over a year. Our so called friendly matches ended with such vitriol against each other, that I simply stopped playing.

Natural Selection. On the one side, we have marines whose job includes following orders from the commander, building the buildings the commander drops, and occasionally getting ammo, health, and guns from the commander. We also have the commander, who can only see what his marines see, cannot build where they have no control, and can't build what they don't help him build. So right away, a side is dependent entirely on a good commander and good followers. Usually, it was the resident guild's ranking member, and woe betide anyone else who tried.
On the other side, the Kharaa can grow to any size, but their super powers and resources depend on fat, slow, mostly-helpless workers who can't get out of the way and won't ever back you up too very much, even though their healing is useful. Meanwhile, the workers can't get any tanking from their fellow players, who all freak out when mere footsteps from "the hive" and need healing constantly. And oh, the hive can move--if you have 100 resources and 4 minutes to kill.
Without decent workers, and commanders the game was doomed. After 6 months, the player base fell apart.

Gotta agree with TTT here. Besides what you said in your post, I also don't like how servers are so paranoid of RDM to the point that even throwing a smoke grenade as an innocent or threatening to shoot someone who follows you around and is constantly pointing a Deagle at your head will get you autobanned. I've even seen people flip out over an innocent successfully killing a traitor because the innocent didn't have 100% solid evidence. It all comes down to most people being more concerned with RDM than with actually playing the game and the whole thing starts to feel more like the Jailbreak mod than anything else.SlaveNumber23 said:
I'm talking early Cataclysm before everything got nerfed again and while everyone was still geared in mostly blues. It was a nice throwback to the days when CC was required but a large amount of players that started in WotLK had never had to deal with such a thing and most of them turned out incapable for it.miketehmage said:
Heroics were hard again in the early days of Cataclysm. I quit for the final time roughly two months after its release. Because it was clear I would never experience Vanilla/BC WoW ever again.
League of Legends. Though it's not because the other players in the community are bad, it's that the friend I play with isn't playing as much any more. I'm not very good at LoL so I play with my friends so we can laugh at how bad we're doing. We don't take the game very seriously.
See I understand his reasons, even if the whole black twist thing is cringeworthy..and they make sense..but at the same time god there are so many reasons to hate a jungler.The Wykydtron said:"Imma take a few minions! >"
"Jungler" is just another word for "scapegoat"
Pushing lane excessively for no good reason after a failed gank, guaranteeing I'm going to be overextended.
Lounging around doing wolves very slowly while expecting a hefty pull from mid..while my minion wave is happily whittling down..the amount of times I lost 2-3 creeps automatically because the jungler DEMANDED that pull are off the chart.
Never ever leaving the jungle..ever..looking at your old school warwick.
Forcing you in to bad situations when the enemy jungler comes and mops you both up..
Taking blue every time in the whole game as lee sin while you're playing somebody massively mana hungry and you don't want to be made of glass buying tear first. Swain near release springs to mind..
Etc.
This is why I quit LoL during early/mid season 2, everything is reasons to hate everything else >_<
Also..never heard of creep tax, not a top level player..never heard it mentioned on streams or demonstrated to the best of my memory.
Only times I think a jungler should be last hitting are if:
a)we ganked and are now attempting to push to tower..which probably covers a fair amount of the time after a gank.
b)I couldn't reasonably get them myself because we're outnumbered and up against tower or I am back at base or whatever, if the jungler has the time to do that then great.
I haven't touched TF2 for a while now ever since I saw some elitist twat give a new player a lot of undue flak just for wearing the Gibus. I swear to God, if some people are going to hurl abuse at other players just because they wear a hat, that has to be one of the most asinine communities in any online game.
First I just want to agree with the Rogue thing. I played one myself, and had a great time locking down 3-4 mobs back in TBC heroics. I stopped playing that class when it kinda fell apart in Wrath, and from there just got worse. You did not need to CC anymore, so new people never learned to, that's why they don't do it. They were reduced to just damage, and not even the best at that either.
OT: I could mention a lot of games, but most of all it was Tibia, my first MMO.
The game is actually really well made, and has a HUGE rich world. Hunting dragons as a level 14 paladin was the most scary thing I have ever done in a game. It's the perfect example on how you make death matter, and you don't need good graphics to be scared shitless. Also the only game that has ever made me feel like an actual adventurer.
But as much as I love the game, you also got the people... There are a few nice ones here and there if you really look for them, but normally if someone can get you killed, they will do it.
Not only that, about 95% of the players you meet will walk up to you and say "br?" (asking if you speak brazillian), and if you don't they will either kill you, or kill any mob that gets anywhere near you and take the loot.
I don't think I have ever met a player in there that has not tried to fuck me over in some way or another. So... yea, good game, horrible people.

I quit TF2 because of the players. Its Valve's fault for adding a bunch of crap items and abilities but it was people's abuse of the overpowered items that made me quit playing. I played as a scout on 2fort, and usually had more bat kills than anyother weapon. The Sandman abuse made me quit using my regular bat and then the Wrangler completely ruined the map.
I quit WoW because the players there seem to think it's a capital crime to be new at the game. I didn't know anyone personally who played so I couldn't ask them, but when I'd ask what a specific term or abbreviation meant during my first raids I'd be treated like absolute crap. It didn't take long for me to give up my subscription. Maybe it was just the people on my server, but for Christ's sake, how are people going to learn to play if you punish them for not knowing?
League of Legends.
I usually play support, and if you get a carry you don't know and who just flames without a single clue you just get frustrated.
And you are not allowed to try anything new. Never. Really, that community is a raging flamefest (Does this word even exist?)
I still play it with friends though.

All multiplayer games.
People are so shit and mouthy on most games or just cheat all the time that i have forsaken the entire multiplayer experience. I play some co-op games with my mates and i help them on their single player campaigns and we pass the controls round but other than that multiplayer gaming is dead to me.

League of Legends. Getting instagibbed by enemy team and flamed by your own team (sometimes enemy team too) at the same time is not my idea of fun. On top of that the only words the people seem to know in english on EU-NE servers are insults and GG (which probably doesn't even qualify as a word). An aweful experience all in all.
Had some issues with WoW community (link achi and item lvl!), but LoL is just designed to bring up even the slightest flaw in your play and shove it down your throat.
EDIT: Oh and almost forgot, the report tool. Most people seem to think it's a tool for reporting people who are not good at the game.

Halo:Reach. Odd example because I was a casual player while one of my friends was actually good. We were hanging out when he just got pissed at someone on our team. He opened chat and sent a mail that said "This mail contains a virus. Hope you like it ***hole" I was shocked, he told me it didn't really contain a virus and he was just freaking the guy out. Then he said he learned to do that from playing online.
I don't want to play a game where the community is just that messed up.

IN B4 this becomes every second post!
Damnit OP.
I stopped playing TF2 more or less. (SHOCK!) I prefer all- talk servers because they have a "drink and be merry" atmosphere to them. Even though the community I help run has 6 servers running, the only time I boot it up is to spectate, and kick/ban someone, then ask if everyone's liking the map before maybe changing it and disconnecting. The entire reason being that... ******* HATS! I have a nice collection of hats, I have a pile of Refined Metal. I'm not a collector or trader (FFS I'm still trying to get a team captain!) yet if I play invariably, someone checks my backpack, and then they spooge at some hat or misc I have and damn near have to go offline and mute voice to play the game. Which ruins the entire reason I play TF2, to BS with people.
