Sinful Sunday: Every game has toxic players?
It's nice in a way to see people being hopeful in a new game, they're all happy and excited until that one moment arrives when they encounter another player that ruins his or her experience. It seems you can't escape that in online multiplayer games, there are always toxic players and the only way to make certain you don't encounter them is to play offline unless you're a toxic player yourself.
There are toxic players in every game?
As much as I hate to admit it but yeah I think there are toxic players in every online multiplayer game. Because for every person that is enjoying himself or herself there is most likely also someone who isn't enjoying himself or herself. I guess that keeps things in balance, but it can be really frustrating to deal with these people. In Fortnite I was actually quite optimistic, in my multiplayer experiences I had not encountered a lot of annoying people and I thought that maybe this one time there could be a game where these toxic players wouldn't be. Unfortunately that didn't last long. Now it's not rare to encounter people that build around the spawn area so you will have to create doors or smash through several walls. Then there are people that will insult you if you try to build something because they don't think you're qualified for that and there are people that will just deliberately not play the objective and try to sabotage your mission. An example of the sabotage is when you have to siphon some bluglo and that takes three waves of enemies to complete. But after each wave someone could already collect the bluglo and that would mess up your objective. It seems really sad that some people would do that but honestly they do this to annoy others!
Why are there so many toxic players?
Toxic players often get easily upset or are just not enjoying the game. But instead of moving on to another game they stay in the game that frustrates them and then get even more frustrated at the slightest thing another player does. Because somehow someone has to pay if something went wrong and it couldn't be their own fault, no it has to be the fault of someone else! I'm not going to pretend like I'm such a great guy, I can tell you that I've been upset with other people but instead of yelling at them or sending hateful messages I would just deal with it. If someone did something really dumb then I would let them know that he or she did something wrong and how they could prevent that in the next game. For example with the bluglo siphon in Fortnite. We all make mistakes and it's not nice when people immediately lose their shit over something like that. But frustration is a dangerous thing, it can make you do dumb things or say maybe even dumber things. So the moment you feel frustrated then it might be a good idea to take a break, don't stay in the same game that frustrates you so much. I doubt that things will get better and the longer you stay in it the worse it will get! I think we all want to enjoy a game, have fun and a positive experience. Unfortunately somewhere along the way something goes wrong with some of us and it makes these people toxic. But instead of then turning this behaviour on other people you should really just take a break, this isn't just better for the community but also for yourself because nobody wants to play games with a toxic player.
So you can't avoid toxic players in online games?
I don't think you can, it would be great if you could but if you play online with other people then there is always a chance that you encounter toxic players. Some people just don't handle bad situations so well or defeat, so they will get upset and often turn this frustration on other players. This can turn other people into toxic players and before you know it you have an unfriendly lobby with a lot of raging assholes. The best way to avoid toxic players is to play games just with your friends or play games on your own. That way you know exactly what you can expect. It's not like friends never fight but good friends don't let some frustration destroy a friendship. If you do choose to play with people you don't know and there are some toxic players then try to ignore them, don't let these people ruin the game for you! The best way to deal with toxic players is to block and report them. I understand that some people get upset, I get upset at games as well but I don't turn that frustration on other people because that's just dumb and it doesn't help anyone.
