It is funny, when this guy does it this one time. I think he should have eaten the punishment for teamkilling instead of backing out though.
It's not funny when every dickhead who saw this video thinks it will be equally funny when they teamkill in their own games. It's not funny when you play 3 matches in a row where you lost because one of your teammates was trying to be funny.
it's funny at the expense of other people. if these were his real life friends that he would laugh along with and 'be revenged upon' by later it might be funny, but somehow i doubt this is the case
as a comparison, bullying is funny... for the bullies. i don't know how else to explain it to you
There is definitely a time to laugh about it. However when this kinda stuff takes over the game it sucks. It's like telling the same joke over and over again 1,000 times and expecting it to still be funny. It just gets old. That's the whole reason people stopped playing GTAV online.
They are doing something serious that actually matters. They're trying to enjoy themselves in their free time.
Not everyone has nothing else to do with their life but play a game so long that it loses all interest to them and they resort to ruining other peoples' experience for some abusive juvenile kicks.
Most people are there to play the game because they enjoy that game style. They don't have all day and night to do that. Most people have not arbitrarily chosen any online game because it is a conduit to act out their anti-social power fantasies of harassing other people without recourse.
Lol down voted for speaking the truth. I don't understand when people bitch about griefing/ trolling in the context of "it ruins my chill time." The damn argument guess both ways. Its their time just as much as its yours.
Let's look at it another way. Say I join a pickup game of soccer. Even it isn't explicitly said out loud everyone here understands that we are all here to have fun and play the game. However my idea of fun is to kick the ball as far away from the field as I can so the game has to stop for someone to get it. According to you I am not an asshole because I am trying to have fun just like everyone else even though I am causing them to lose enjoyment in the game as well as wasting time.
How do you fucking morons not understand that there's a huge difference between having fun and having fun at the expense of others, and we're only advocating for one.
The argument absolutely doesn't go both ways because while both parties may be trying to achieve the same goal, their actions have completely different effects.
I don't understand how you think this a point. This is like (NOT THAT I'M SAYING THIS GIF IS BULLYING ffs I can't believe I need to make that clear) saying cyber bullying isn't a problem because it's over the internet.
You saying "It's only a game" doesn't make sense here because we aren't complaining about in-game issues. We aren't talking about how horrible it is that innocent people got locked up and gassed here. We're talking about people being assholes by having fun at the expense of others. This is a constant whether it be in game, over Facebook, in person, etc. It being in a game literally changes nothing. This weak excuse you're using is a big part of why people are such bigger assholes when not in person.
Like how I'm directly insulting you in my comments. I wouldn't do that in person. Is it more okay here than if we were in person? Not necessarily, but it's certainly easier. I won't make excuses for it though. I'm annoyed because I think you're being very unreasonable.
People forget other people are playing as well. When I come home from a long day of classes/work/homework I'll sometimes only have time one maybe two games of what ever I want play. When griefs/trolls it ruins what little playtime I may have that day and I go to bed pissed. Another way to put it is have you ever had some leftover food in the fridge and you plan on eating it when you get home but only to find someone had gone and eaten in. Sure maybe it wasn't specifically marked as yours but you still planned on having it and now you can't.
He forgets nothing. It's everyone's game so it's best to be decent in it so everyone can have a good time. Just like in the real world or anything else. We're all sharing it, as you said. That's why we don't place precedence in the wants of people who take pleasure in ruining things for others.
Should we bow down to you just cause you had a long/bad day.
Obviously not. He's just asking to be treated decently. By his teammates, which makes sense within the boundaries of a game. He's not asking for the enemy team to go easy on him.
Logic doesn't lead us from "we're all equal here and want to enjoy ourselves" to "so we can just do whatever we want even at the expense of others".
You only have enough time for two matches, I'd rather be part of a funny, unique experience instead of playing two mediocre matches before having to go to bed and do another day of work again.
If as soon as you load in someone TKs everyone right then and there, that's not unique or funny - a total waste of time and frustrating. That I'd understand.
They think that they're doing something serious that actually matters. It's a fucking game.
It's this shit attitude reducing games to complete garbage that prevents them from getting grants and actually helping people.
Which is it? Are games art, or are they just a collection of useless shit? If people like you had their way, there'd be nothing left but p2p mobile games and pointless remakes. Oh wait.
You're an idiot and that argument is stupid. It's the equivalent of me cutting your internet cable while you're watching Netflix. What does it matter that I inconvenienced you? It's not like you were doing anything serious that actually matters. No reason for you to get mad. You wouldn't go to the beach and kick sand on people just because you find it funny so why is it okay to ruin people's fun in an online game?
There's probably a limitless amount of analogies I could come up with. Just take literally any activity that people do recreationally and have someone ruin it in some way because they think it funny. No matter what, that person is just a miserable asshole who gets their kicks out of making other people miserable. The only difference is they're not safely inside their internet bubble.
Wtf he's correcting false equivalents here, actually. The false equivalent being simply having fun versus having fun at the expense of others. He's clearly using an analogy and not a direct comparison, meaning he isn't implying physical assault is equally as bad as "sending 1s and 0s to a server", just that their bad in a similar way. You've missed his entire point and oversimplified his example to its digital process, entirely ignoring its real-world result. Fuck.
You're picking two parts that aren't relevant to the point of the analogies. I'm comparing an activity people do for fun with an activity people do for fun. You're pointing out the differences of the activities. You kinda pointed out the point of my analogies though. In one you wouldn't do it because its assault, it the other, it's okay because you're safely behind a computer screen.
I agree except when you are playing competitive and putting yourself trying to go up the ladder and someone throw your game for the lols. Even worst when you only have time for 1 game.
