So, here's something that should not be in game.

I don't understand what gives someone the right to act this way, and insult an entire continent?

I'm proud to be a European, and proud to stand up to this sort of thing.

Can we please keep people like this under control?

There are mean people on the internet? STOP THE PRESSES! This has to go on the front page!

You can't keep this type of thing under control. Thankfully you're totally free to completely ignore the people that throw around insults hiding behind the anonymity of the internet

Blanks out the name of the person saying it on two lines.

Yet leaves the disconnection name in full view.



That's a name & shame... [redacted] coming right up!

If you're going to gripe you should do more than 292 damage across 4 mechs in Faction Play.

Dude did only 292 damage on what I assume is a faction play match with 4 mechs? You’re really hurt by him when he’s such a bad player? I’m not the best at FP but I only get that bad of a score when I’m facing BCMC pug zapper 12 man drops with all pugs on my team...

People are just going to be butthurt and childish wherever you go for games, whether they rank at the bottom 5% or the top 5%. Wait till you meet the blin cyka blyat Slavs that play, they will make you take full credit for every failure that happens

[Phoenix 72]

Make screenshot, report, move on. I cannot always do this myself, because these kinds of comments still annoy me, too, but doing nothing is not an option.

Too much toxicity on the internet anyway.

TBF that match was a lurmfest--very unfun for both sides. I wouldn't be surprised if people from your side made real life threats to each other afterwards.

What lurms has to do with harrasing language?
Only Europeans use lurms or what?

It doesn't matter what type of "fest" it is.. People.. this is JUST A GAME.. FFS.. get over yourselves.. you can't make these kinds of comments, even in cyberspace - it's uncool, it crosses the line, and it clearly shows what type of people are behind it..

You think this type of people are like that just when they play MWO? I seriously doubt that.. It's probably the type of people who abuse animals, beat up school kids or their partners, and seriously need to see a psychiatrist or be put behind bars, or on a watch list to say the least..

Such comments have years of real-life abuse and violence behind them.. MWO and similar games are just an outlet..

Lurmfest or not, it's not OK to to act that way.

I don't see the insult. Considerable income inequality exists across Eurasia. Absent regional pricing wealth is a factor in game success.

I find it amusing that abstract European honor is more important than the oven comment that was more a violation of ToS.

I think both comments are the issue.. But the first comment just speaks volumes about the author.. the second one crosses a line..

We have laws against that sorta thing, no?

Both comments are equally not ok.

Not really (well I don't know where you live)

We have laws against hate propaganda (which this isn't). You can't outlaw people acting like an idiot, you'll have to put over half the population in jail

Isn't this considered hate speech on a national basis?

If I only did 292 damage across 4 mechs in FP... I'd be pretty ticked too lol

The fact he did only 292 damage is the real kicker isn't it? It's not only that he's being a douche, but a lame one at that..

BTW, most of Europe is European Union (EU), and I personally do consider that hate speech.. it is not unlike using some other popular derogatory terms against Jews for instance..

Someone got insulted in a video game and it sparked a political debate?
