I think I got the winning one right off the bat. The Pokemon Black/White GTS

I decided to Search for say a Mew. Everybody offering one asks for a Level 9 and under Zekrom or Rasheram.

Now I decided to try a Articuno. Same deal.

I do some more Legendaries. EVERYBODY WANTS LVL 9- ZEKROM/RASHIRAM.

Even over half of the trades for Non-ledgendary Pokemon are asking for the same bloody thing. Now the reason this is so retarded is that the only way a person can get one is by HACKING. And the GTS can detect hacked pokemon by KNOWING THEY ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN OUT OF EVENTS. And Event pokemon are not allowed.

So I beilieve 95%+ of the 5th gen Pokemon GTS is Brain dead. A significant increase over the 50%-ish from Gen 4.

Anyways have you ever come across an onlie community so full of thick-headed idiots it used to be funny but now it is just sad?

I can think of a few...

Minecraft: People who say their is a competitive Minecraft PvP scene

Call of Duty series: Kind of a given. You get the full spectrum of swearing 20 year olds and swearing 12 year olds

Almost any semi-competitive Fighting game: Nothing but "balance this" or "this is OP" rants

And for non-gaming communities...

My Little Pony: Don't get me wrong, I watch the show as a shameful guilty pleasure. But the "out and proud" fans of it bug the hell out of me.

Axis Powers Hetalia: Do I really need to explain myself? If you know what it is, you understand.

Other-Kin: "No, you were not a fucking Dragon in a past life, you're just socially awkward and smell bad"

I could go on, but I already feel like I'm going to piss a fair number of people off.

This one. :|

I'm not even sure why I poke in anymore... don't get me wrong, you all aren't all bad, of course, but a big enough portion is that it makes reading threads a frustrating chore, more often than not.

Considering that this forum actually has moderation that takes action against obvious flame threads and the sort, this is WAY better than most. I mean it's not the Something Awful forums, which are GREAT btw, but it's pretty good. And if reading threads is truly painful to you, you can literally stop doing it. No one is forcing you.

It always fluctuates for communities. Most recently CoD's was bad at the height of MW2, then the Battlefield fans took their place as BF3 had a marketing campaign run on trolling just to cheer them on.

Even my beloved Halo series had quite the ignorant community at it's height.

Valve's is going to be shit when the next Half-life game does come out. They always turn some people to acting completely shitty with every new TF2 update. A brand new Half-life game is going to just be hell.

Well of course 95% percent are because 95% are annoying little self entitled kids. The 5% that are sane are the people who are legitimate competitive players but don't play on pokemon online. As for worst community: Easily any MOBA game, like league of legends. I wanted to get into them but it's just such a chore. Strangely some of the best are some of the most elitist. Like fighting games and the aforementioned competitive pokemon community are really hard to get into because of complicated meta-game stuff but the members are really helpful and humble from my experience.

The WoW community right before I quit. It's like most people who played would rather see every other player replaced by bots.

Youtube, but for a specific reason; I can tune out a lot of the horrible racism, sexism and middle school trolls simply because they are so cartoonishly over the top that it ceases to have impact.

My problem is the people who swamp every comment section with requests to view their videos or subscribe to their channels. No, I do not want to watch your Windows Media Player montages of MW3 gameplay set to some mediocre metal, and I don't need you to fill the comment sections of unrelated stuff like Epic Meal Time with requests to do so. That place needs some mods who will burn those a**hats to the ground for destroying any attempt to have a conversation on a popular video with their incessant badgering. It's like the beggars from Assassin's Creed, but I can't stab these people.

The Battlefield 3 forums spring to mind. I went there looking for a fix to a graphical glitch. 'Twas grim. Pretty much any complaint, objection or observation is met with, "Get your whiny ass back to CoD you fag!" Oh, and then this one girl tentatively suggested that it would be kind of cool if the game had female avatars. That... did not go down well.

Honourable mention goes to the Bioware forums. They're not "retarded" as such, but there is something disquietingly weird about that place.

The worst part of Youtube for me are Youtube celebrities like Ray William Johnson, Nostalgia Critic, and Katers. Not to mention their horrible, horrible fans. But something that REALLY sticks in my craw are people who do shitty Blind Let's Plays.

Blind Let's Plays are best done by gifted comedians who know how to roll with events and are willing to edit around the unfunny bits (RoosterTeeth being a prime example). If people don't know what they're doing, and they can't think up jokes on the spot, they should script it.

Let's Plays should be done exclusively by the PROFESSIONALS at Something Awful. They have actual standards that you have to meet before it actually goes up.

League of Legends - most people there can't string a proper sentence together, they sound like an alarm clock. NOOB KILL FEED PLS DIE

This one - Filled with smug people still smelling of milk writing long winded essays always starting with "As a [prospective dream job here] I..." like someone gave a damn and procceeding to act like industry insiders experts after watching a couple Extra Credits.

Minecraft public servers are pretty bad as well, they almost sound like the MOBA crowd but even more amazing considering it's not a competitive game.

Youtube commenters.

I don't mind who does it; a lot of good videos are done by amateurs. I just don't like it when people throw up 4,5, even 6 videos that never get any better in quality, and are just them saying "Yeah, die, mother****er, oh no I'm getting beat, this game is so cheap, GAH an enemy popped out at me but I just killed the p***y so it's OK now."

Or people who start a Let's Plat series like THE day the game comes out? I saw one guy who had a, no joke here, 30 part series for Skyrim the day after it came out. I absolutely can't stand it. If I'm watching a Let's Play, it's because I don't have access to the game or I need a few tips and secrets I really don't want to miss out on. I'm saying you should be INTIMATE with that game BEFORE you hit the record button.

Nostalgia critic isn't based on Youtube, other than that it is pretty terrible, especially iJustine. Plus nostalgia critic is pretty average and his fanbase pathetic in his own right.

I dont mind nostalga critic..but somtimes I feel he sumarises things to much rather than analising (which can make his vids boring) wich is much more interesting..he can aslo milk jokes just a "little" too much at times

hence why I prefer nostalga chick

EDIT: theres this site called "internet nobodies database" which is dedicated to tearing down people just like nostalga critic (ohh boy do they have things ot say about him)

excpet its not really funny...its just hateful, they seem to have a real problem with the Idea of somone gaining sucess from online videos....yet the articles complain as if they are taking themselves seriously...

tell me..whos more pathetic, somone who can make a living from geeky videos on the internet..or somone who devoted their time to tearing those people apart?
