Toxicity

The video game community is so shit. Honestly, one of the worst groups of people you could probably ever associate yourself with. The only thing I wonder if its only this way in the US or if its global. I feel that not every person in the gaming community is terrible, but the ratio from good to bad is way off. The community is extremely toxic. People will go out of there way just to make sure you have a terrible time trying to do something you enjoy. How messed up is that. A person will spend hours of there life trying to figure out how to manipulate a certain thing in a game so that when you play it they can use it there advantage to always win against you. An example of this is in a game called DayZ. DayZ has so many cheaters in it because they all use these things called scripts that will allow them to teleport wherever they want, kill someone whenever they want, etc. These scripts aren't just handed out either, well after they are figured out they are basically, but a person had to sit down and figure out the coding process to actually get that to work. Not only that, he has to figure out how to make it work while trying to dodge the anti-cheat software that most games have now a days. On top of that, instead of blaming the person that is doing this thing the players will start criticizing the game/company. What kind of logical sense does that even make? Not to start a huge thing here, but that is just like blaming the gun and not the person firing the gun. Why does the community do this? My theory is that people who have the time to do all this must actually need make people angry. They need to hear that person rage and quit and get super upset over what he is doing. Why he needs this I have no idea, it must some kind of like fetish thing or something. Over the years of this happening to, you can see the toll it has taken on all gaming communities. Now whenever someone is decent at a game and doing better than someone else it obviously makes him a "hacker". Anyone that seems to have any sort of skill in a game and isn't a professional gamer just turns into a hacker. And its incredibly sad to see these great community figures that try to help the video game scene grow and they have to tell these people to try and join the community when its so toxic. No one wants to willingly join a community that is so incredibly annoying and just plain bad.

  1. I agree, I found a few good gamers to play with but they are far and few. I think they need separate child and adult servers.
