They do it because it's easy to be a dick head through the internet as no one knows who they are.
personally, im impressed a troll even had the guts to say something to your face! lol thats freakin RARE! ...now grow yourself a pair of boobs like me and they'll leave you alone in real life as they'll be too scared to even make eyecontact lol... however its a trade off as you'll get more insults and trolling online "make me a sammich dyke" and such... if i stopped playing games simply because i was hounded by morons i would be playing my old NES and staying away from modern consoles.. its bad out there.. so many jerks!
try not to let it get to you.. these kids have obvious issues (maybe mommy doesnt love them and maybe daddy touched them.. who knows, but now they have rage issues) remeber they will never know the warm touch of a woman and just try to play with your own friends to avoid the trolls.

From my experience with MH Tri, its really hit and miss. A lot of the problem is that most of the people online for Tri are 1st time players of the Monster Hunter games. I understand that it isn't always the case, but they believe that they do not need people and are trying to prove that they have the biggest ego. As a person who has played all of the MH released in the US, I have to say that online gamers, generally and I am aware there are many exceptions especially with the MW2 crowd, do not fully understand the fact that you have to work as a unit and work towards a common goal. But, I have run into quite a few people who will smack you around, be it on accident or on purpose, but it really isn't such a big deal as the only "friendly fire" are the explosives. Do not give up hope on a game just because you run into a few assholes who just live to troll and destroy the game because it is a community game and there are decent people who still play it.
Very well said. And sadly, confirming my own experiences, as I have seen that exact line of "reasoning" time and time again in all forms of online conversation (and more disturbingly, recently swapping over to real life more frequently as well).Erana said:
Oh, and the "I game on a mac and am happy with how things are for me" part? I can totally relate to that, that sounds sooo familiar
Did someone really do this to you? I must admit I have a hard time believing it, but if it is true, I wish I could have been there. I would have shut that person up. If I had been the Game Stop Employee, I would have told that person to get out of my store, then called the police saying someone was threatening my customers. That is unacceptable.RaikuFA said:
Well, I'm not sure what all, of even many of the reasons behind it may be, but one that I think plays a significant role would be anonymity. Most times, especially within online gameplay, there isn't much punishment or consequence for trolling others, or cheating.
It's become more apparent these days, but even so, sounds like you've had a rough while with your online gaming relationship. Sorry. :/

That made me laugh for some reason. Maybe because I was goofing around in Firefight matchmaking and as a gag I ran over to a fallen elite and dropped a T-bag on him (just to make fun of the practice since it wasn't a person on the other end, I was partied up with friends). Someone quickly put me in my place with an errant rocket to the backside. And lulz were had by all.Eldarion said:
Griefers. Dicks. Fuckheads. They're around. Try not to let them get you down. Most gamers are perfectly sane, calm, polite individuals, like all our good friends on the Escapist forums. Don't let the bad apples spoil the whole barrel for you.
I'm surprised you haven't learned this lesson yet, given your age. People aren't nice. Unless you are very attractive, they're probably not going to do nice things for you unless it benefits them. And even if it would benefit them, they still won't. They're jerks. They don't like anybody because they don't like themselves. Don't take it personally. It's just an unfortunate fact of modern life. They use the internet as an outlet to vent their frustrations by tormenting others.RaikuFA said:
I wish it were different. But it's going to take a lot of coordination and turning-of-the-other-cheek to overcome and eradicate this type of behaviour.
