Sick of people reporting and swearing in chat

[Dirty_Filthy_Scrublord]

Absolutely sick of people shouting in game "reported for bot" "reported for being a noob" etc etc, the list is endless. Most appear to have one thing in common, they come from the people that are sunk early on and it`s everyone else`s fault. We all have crapgames, make mistakes etc....even the best screw it up too. This reporting "thing" is an absolute shower of crap, means nothing and does nothing. It`s also becoming common for swearing in chat, usually aimed at those that have been reported for ridiculous reasons. Kids play this game, and lets not forget it is a game...these kids probably do hear worse on the streets and at school....but it does not excuse it. I`m playing less and less now because the toxicity in chat is so unpleasant and unnecessary. And before anyone replies with a grow up etc etc.... I`m 46 and done enough growing up ty.

Exactly my thoughts about the game.

So you are telling us in 46 years you could not grow a 'I couldn't care less' internet attitude?

Bloody hell, never thought of that....but does it take another 46 years to grow? Can`t wait that long

Turn off the chat maybe. This may help.

I do agree that some of our number seem incapable of keeping a civil tongue in their head - and although there are a number who should be reported for being afk throughout the game, we all know this does nothing. Reporting for misbehaviour in chat does do something though and I suggest you use it! It might have an infinitesimal chance of altering their behaviour - though unfortunately, I doubt it!

but but but! its all we have left to do once we die

 

[Crusherheads]

46 old and it comes writing that in here...

 

 

Most of players got their Jobs and their lifes, age has nothing to do with it. Regarless we dont see them btching at forum that much either... inclueding me, and i will be honest i swear alot ingame went i see that a tiers 8 or worse tier 10 Dont know how to play his ship like "wtfck u doing here or rather how the hell u managed to get that boat?" and sometimes i just play for myself and say nothing.

 

Every1 does it, some more than others, why? bc we are humans and it feels good to call others noobs denie that we are one lol.

You know what I am sick of? Dumb teammates that give no support, are generally just really bad, etc. It's my way to release anger. It doesn't happen after 1 crap game and it doesn't happen after just a loss with decent game on both sides. But 90% of my losses AND wins is about one team completely crushing the other. 

One would think that the hundreds of games it took to reach tier 8 had an impact on players' skills. But apparently, that's not the case for many. Or the MM is just so horrible that it fails to make decently fair matches. Or both.

But I digress.

 

There is an ignore button ingame. Rocket science. There you have your safe space.

Had a forumite in a Colorado last night charge head first into an enemy push and die, of course it was the teams fault , even thought i was in the process of bringing the pain to 2 Nagato's in my Fuso (god i love that ship) and the Tirpitz on our team was demonstrating why its a scary ship in the right hands.

Yeah we won, by a large margin too, what in Mechwarrior online circles is referred to as GG Close!.

Turn off chat or grow up/thicker skin.

 

I still cant believe people are crying about insults and sheit-talk in chat, its goddamn nature of the internet.

So you don`t think foul mouthed individuals should be either shamed or punished?? Because it`s "the nature of internet"?? Classy attitude. 

[ColonelPete]

If they are foul mouthed, report them. That is what the function is for.

It's nature, sure, but that doesn't make it a good thing. Too many people blame their team (and occasionally the top players of their team) for their own bad game.

I get frustrated as well, but insulting doesn't help a bad player in getting better.

 

And there's a difference in actually telling people what to do (thus helping) and only insulting and swearing when people make errors, often when the game is already lost (not helping, only creating more hatred).

[krautjaeger]

Just laugh at them. That's what I do. I tell them I am looking forward to the scoreboard to see how much they themselves supported the team and made an effort. Most shut up after that. The ones that go on about how they went to B with their Cleveland and got no support what so ever, I tell them that why the frack did you go to B with no support '?'. Pretty much the rest turn silent after that one. There are one and two that go on and on, just ignore them for the rest of the game. There is one unwritten rule, the more people complain the less they contribute.

[Comrad_StaIin]

set the whines on ignore....?

[AnotherDuck]

I usually report players who swear or insult others. I'm also mostly polite in the chat.

 

People who say "reported" in chat without a good reason I'm tempted to report as well, although often they're bad enough to report for the rest of what they say.

 

People who swear or insult others in chat should just shut the [edited]up.

[Aerroon]

It's okay, League of Legends fixed game communities. Now game communities take proper action and report people!

 

Seriously though, before LoL I remember in some games people could even get banned for false reports. After LoL's stuff reports are very common.

In the meantime, I'd like to say - in the style of your last sentence - you (and other unicorns such as Aerroon) should perhaps just man the [edit] up.

I'm a duck, not a unicorn.

 

I should probably clarify, though. I don't report people who just swear. I report those who swear at others. Swearing at yourself for messing up is fine. Swearing at others because you messed up but blame someone else isn't.

 

It doesn't really get under my skin if people swear, but I think the environment will be better if people behave better and aren't so needlessly hostile.

[meezul]

If someone reports me for some spurious reason i simply report them too. It means nothing in the long run, but it does make me smile to think of the fury they get when they see their own karma drop after they report people for not playing the way they want them to, or for getting a citadel on them, or for dodging gunfire rather than taking it like a man, or the myriad of other ludicrous reasons they come up with. Play them at their own game.

And i am sick of IJN DD [edited]. End of rant

im sick of damage whores. just had one in my enemy team and we basicly lost because of that guy.

This kind of behaviour is likely to make me rage more than anything. Bad players I can cope with. Will fully stupid ones make me angry. Basically those players who play for themselves and don't try to win as a team. I hate this! I have on occasions then become toxic in chat. But I don't swear. I'm not even rude. However I am venomous, point out why he's lost us the game, and "suggest" that people might want to report him for poor play, while using words like "disappointed" and "feel like our hard work has been wasted because one guy isn't a team player". 

 

I bet this approach gets a lot more reports... 

 

So swearing isn't a problem. Ignore that guy in chat if pointlessly raging.
