Subject: Some people on XBL can be such jerks..

IB. The bane of my existence.

Today I was playing Team Slayer, and in one game my team got beaten badly, but I got 14 kills. One guy who was pretty old on the other team asked "Hey, you did pretty good, wanna party up?" and I said "Sure why not." After that he told me "STFU, I don't wanna play with trash like you!"

Another game I played this kid (not being derogatory.. like someone around 10-12) was like "shut up ShadowDonut!" when I was trying to warn him about an enemy.

Why are people such jerks on Live? Does it make them feel better about themselves?

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

It's one of the only places they have where they can trash talk to people knowing they're in no danger or becoming tracked for their appalling attitude.

Just leave feedback on them and one day they'll get banned for their vulgar behaviour.

Veto for ARs!!!!

Because people act like dicks when they're anonymous. Look at 4chan.

Your options are to either play without a mic (better for Rumble Pit) play with a party of people you know are good, or to play in unranked matches, where there are generally less 'jerks' in the game.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Because most people playing had no love showed to them by their parents.

Jokes about deaths aren't funny.

KSI radar going off.... People talk crapp cuz they know the person they're flaming can't smack their face. But yeah, just shut them up by winning. Or flaming the -blam!- out of them.

...play with a party of people you know are good...


Yeah, that would be the best thing for team games. Unfortunately all my friends are now playing 360 titles.
If anyone wants to play some time, my GT is the same as my username. =D

Edit: EJ, if I flame them, I'll be just as bad as them. I'd rather not give them the satisfaction of feeling like they affected me. ;]

w00t w00t to all the psychotic warthog drivers out there like me

one way to deal with trash talkers is to do the exact opposite back to them. Be as nice as possible to them. That is what gets the flamers most angry. You should try it, it'll make you chuckle... and you can't get feedbak for beeing nice so you're covered.

It's not that there are so many mean people on XBL, its just that that's all you notice. You know what I mean?

The human race is known for pointing out and remembering negative things. I am sure that there are more good than bad, but unfortunately its the bad we remember.

That's what I do usually. Flaming them back gives them the satisfaction of knowing they irritate you. If you show no negative signs, it annoys them because they acted like a bunch of jerks and they get no reward.

Yeah, I remember a lot more bad experiences with people on XBL. However I've noticed this the most on Halo 2. The people in the Halo 3 beta were a lot nicer IMO. It also seems that the people posting in the forums are nicer in my experience. =)

Edit: Toxic, I hear and say a lot more than shut up too, but i prefer not to make an idiot out of myself over XBL.

that's true, halo 2 is worse, and the forums are getting worse, i mean there are so many spam posts these days, nobody is talking about the actual game/topic - especially in the halo 3 forum.

i feel your pain

Well, the Halo 3 spam is gonna be terrible around the release date. Why do I have a feeling that once Halo 3 comes out all the immature people will migrate there? =|

How exactly do you promote peace in a game where killing your opponents is your primary objective? 0:]

Try playing a custom game with your friends or make a small LAN party, then you'll notice that Halo 2 is fun, just some idiots make it a horrible experience, on Xbox Live of course.
