Only because matchmaking is so horrible everyone drifts upwards.

Its hard not to be annoyed when half my games have people doing 50 damage lol, like how is that even possible?

Two questions:

1. Has anyone else noticed this, or have I just been lucky up until now? (Overall toxicity)

2. Is there actually any proper repercussions from reporting a player? Just wondering if it's worth bothering.

1) This game's players and community are about as toxic as an Arsenic sponge cake being eaten on Caustic Valley.

2) Not that I have seen. I've never seen anyone being removed or even warned from the game for being a jerk, although I know one player I have personally reported that I haven't seen in the game for a looooong time. Altho, I reported that one for obvious cheating and not just being a jerk..

I actually.find the game pretty friendly. Granted, there's some forum pvp (which i like to dabble in as well) but in-game, majority of us are pretty nice and polite.

I butt heads with zuul.on the forums a lot but when we do meet (rarely) in game, we've so far been friendly.

Even johnny_z, who seems.to attract forum controversy like crazy is actually also pretty chill in matches.

As a whole, the mwo community is alot less salty than expected. Reminds me of a whiskey called laphroiag that's peaty and has a sea salt whiff to it. The salt only serves to enhance the flavor!

"Is There A Toxicity Issue?"

Only if you are an overly sensitive SJW snowflake. Just like muslim terror attacks and **** gangs have become part of the norm in London, so is a little toxicity in video games.

Just wait til you get high teir and listen to people scream at each on voice chat every single game.

I take offense to you failing to differentiate between scotch and other whiskey's!

That aside you're right when not arguing on forums this is probably the chillest online player base i've seen in a "shooter." I've always suspected that higher average player age was the main reason for that.

there was this really cool description of the SCOTCH -

“It’s like fighting a peat bog monster that is on fire, but suddenly you both pause, look in one another’s eyes and kiss.”

One guy started off, before we'd dropped with "another drop another lose" and other demoralizing crap,

My big thing right now is Solo QM as a playmode all it's own, with it's own identity and strategies for success. A big part of that for me is accepting my teammates, whoever they are, however they play, and whatever they've built. PUG life, you know. Deal with it.

Players like this are the hardest for me to accept. Players who start calling out teammates by name in the drop lobby and go on into the opening minutes of the game "This person is a coward who hides." "That person makes lame meta builds." "I'm not sure about this person, yet." Players who hog the comms, spending more time griping about their teammates' play than anything else.

It doesn't matter if I'm one of the people being called out or not. It doesn't matter if we win or lose. It establishes an adversarial environment among teammates. It hangs a gloomy, negative pall over the entire match. It always knocks me off my square and makes the game not fun. Usually, after encountering this sort of thing, I'm done for the night. It makes me want to log off and go read a book or play with my dogs or something.

I know I need to work on just accepting these players as I accept all other solo players, but they sure don't make it easy.
