Reply to comment by Key-Composer5478 in Trash talking culture in PvP gaming? by MkLiam

Coping with it is not a problem. I am far older than most of these gamers. Just trying to wrap my head around it.

I met a new friend on a game I had just started playing tonight. He seemed to know a lot of the other players online. After a while we got beat pretty badly and the whole opposing team entered our party and trash talked him until he just logged out. I just sat there silently listening to the whole thing.

I guess its just been a while since I got on a mic.

I think sometimes it can be difficult playing with younger players who have a different idea of what respect is.

And as you can see being anonymous makes some people brave. People online will say things to you that they would never say to your face.

In the pvp world there is a lot of blaming, and belittling behavior, esp when you loose the game.

But there again, that is human nature.
