Things that annoy you online

[capin Rob]

We all get annoyed, even online, so I want you to post what really makes you mad online, weather it be XBL, PSN, or steam.

what annoys me is people mistakeing my gamer tag (F34RTH3P1NKM1ST) wich is fear the pink mist (for all those who can't read) for the halo achivement, but it actually means head shot

The misuse of the two "yours" (your, you're), and the three "theres" (there, their, they're). It just makes me extremely annoyed.

That and those silly marijuana references people have on their gamertags, or as their emblem and what-not on MW2.

People playing the map 2Fort on TF2 who think having three snipers doing nothing but snipe the enemy three snipers is a good idea.

People who kick random's out of their games to play with friends when they could have just made the game private in the first place.

People who screw up co-op "for a laugh", it's great fun if everyone is up for it, but gets annoying when you are trying to do it properly but one person wants to just mess around.

My porn downloads so slowly.

Erm....

Well, I really hate it when younger kids play live games and swear to make themselves sound mature. Cursing doesn't make someone mature. I run into a lot of kids who sound as if they cant be more than 12, and they are using an asinine amount of curse words to get their points across. Granted, I usually mute them after a good 5 minutes, but it still bugs me that they think cursing will make them an accepted member of a more mature community.

I'm not saying cursing is a bad thing, I curse plenty, but I don't do it just to be accepted by others, I do it usually because it's just second nature to me to throw in curses to assert a point or if I'm just pissed off or in a bad mood.

I get irritated by gamertags which are written in 13375p34k (leetspeak). English may be a shitty language, but if you don't want to type in it, there are plenty of legitimate alternatives...like Finnish, or Gaelic.

Selfishness. That is it, the source of most gaming problem. Be it people who hog the vehichle spawns in battlefield, or people who go off on a tangent by themeselves and not help a squad, generally anyone who isn't a team player in a team game.

 

[DividedUnity]

Well im not going for originality but any gamertag or username with x's and such in it.

Everyone on psn who has a mic. There are so few that have mics but they are always the ones who shouldnt

 

[ethaninja]

It would help if we could actually read it. Things that piss me off online. Fanyboy wars. Forum Hatered. Moderator abuse. Most YouTube comments. And on MSN, people thinking I'm ignoring them when I don't respond in the next 5 seconds.

Mic spam when your trying to have a serious game, It's all well and good on a game like tf2 when its just a bit of fun. But when you trying to play properly and you have some idiot spamming magical trevor and amazing horse down the mic I makes me want to kill them using a ethernet cable.

Dear god man! That gamer tag is almost unreadable! I had to keep reading over it to understand what it meant.

Anyway, what pisses me off in online games is people taking the games far too seriously.

Yeah, we lost, so what? We had fun, didn't we? That's my attitude, but these people act like we've committed the gravest sin imaginable. It's the main reason I've all but stopped playing with anyone but friends.

what furburt says about taking games to seriously I mean its a game. Games are for unwinding and relaxing not stressing over.

Fanboys mainly... Illiterate people... Although they both usually fall into the same category.
Sometimes fanboys can be quite funny, hell just look at ZP's FFXIII comment section.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Generaly, most online community's annoy me, although, what annoys me the most is when i'm playing TF2, and some moron's decided to spell kis name like >]1LL $Tr-]K (Kill Streak)

 

[brodie21]

the fact that every 360 comes with a headset

 

[Olikunmissile]

Oh god do you want a list?

I'll go with people. I hate people. All those miss spelling 12 year old squeaky fuckwits who think it's cool to be a retard and spell like they're dyslexic. Playing games far too old for them because their retarded parent's bought it. By christ when I get my 3 wishes one of them will be to be able to reach through the computer/TV screen and go though the internet only to come out on their end so I can brain the fuckers.

 

[vaderaider]

Gamertags like yours, also when people have "xXx" at the both sides of their online name.

Yeah usually fanboys are the ones that make me stop playing online. Though I have to disagree with the illiterate people. To me those people are more easy to ignore since horribly bad spelling is like a label saying "Not worth trying to read".

The literate fanboys are worse because not only does every answer come off as a demeaning speech or essay but they are also usually the ones who can't drop a damn argument till they've felt like they've won. Even if their original point was refuted to begin with. Though now that I think of it those long ass answers can also pretty much be labeled "ignore me".

On the internet: People who ask what the name of a song in the video is when it's right in the description and video title.

Online games: People who bad-mouth others because of skill or lack thereof, but do absolutely horrible in game.

Both: People who will verbally threaten to kill/rape/murder you and/or various family members because you did something to piss them off.
