Gaming habits that must stop in 2015

Very nice article, agree with all those points.

Point 1 & 2 for me are the most important.

The last 3, well... that't just gamers/people for you :)

Lol, this is too true...

Abuse in games i find really petty... Iv had it a few times especially in hearthstone, where you beat a guy and they then add you as a friend and tell you what a douche you are for winning... makes no sense to me...

Apparently it gets a lot worse in games like COD, especially when you have a headset to chat to guys in your team...

Yeah I've had a good laugh at my brother in law getting crazy mad at the 12-year-olds he plays against.
 
I don't have any of those habits during multiplayer, but love it when people call me a "haxer" in Team Fortress 2. :D

I do own a mic as well, but NEVER use it to talk to fellow players in a game because it's effort and distracting while playing something intense/ fast-paced. But then again, I keep the negative comments about "n00bs" to myself and not blurt it out like some gamers' habits.
 
I read this article this morning as well! I really do wish more online players will read this!!!!!
 
Predictable responses to articles calling for any sort of change

This a 1000 times over! Although it kinda links to the elitist attitude as well.

Some pick things up quicker than others, but when asking around for a bit of help the common response comes from the elite and is inevitably followed by some horsing around and being told to grow a thicker skin. By far my biggest pet peeve in gaming today.

CSGO can also get pretty bad because you can you talk to people in game in match making games, If I had a rand for every time some high school kid called me a dirty word haha...

This^^ But I play DotA 2. It is nice when they call me a noob early game due too the difficulty of playing a hero. But late game when you win the game for the team then they have nothing to say. Some people need to grow up and learn that anyone can have a bad game. Some more than others.

DotA can, very often, feel like its the hive of abusive behaviour. I think it's an overall lack of maturity with regards to the desire to win
 
Just a quick PSA: This article was officially Quinton's annual quota for the use of the phrase "on fleek" in MyGaming articles.

I haven't decided what the punishment will be if [MENTION=6922]qornea[/MENTION] exceeds his cap, so I'm open to suggestions :evilgrin: (we really need an evil grin smiley)
