Anyone is capable of being violent with enough provocation in the heat of the moment. It's the people who are willing to be violent while calm and having had time to think about it that are truly dangerous.
Oh god. I played that when it came out but when I finally realized how much housing and the in game market mattered, I noped out. That’s to say, I don’t play it long because it was obvious very quickly.
Modern social media that demands irl info and dumbasses who can't figure out how to fill in false information into them. If I got into an online dispute like this, I'd just give them the address of some police barracks. Let them have fun with charges on an attemped swat on the cops.
Oh come on, MMORPG players have always been the worse of the two. I mean, most people of both camps are really nice. But playing a shooter vs pretending you're a wizard? Way more chance to drop off the really deep end.
Not this exact reason, but yeah I hate most people I encounter in games so I stay away from multiplayer stuff, which sucks because that's all devs want to make anymore...
It's not just the psycho assholes looking for people to hammer. It's hard to want to engage with voice chat when the general public has no fucking concept of mic discipline. Nobody wants to hear the conversations happening around you. They don't want to hear you eating. They certainly don't want to hear your background music. Use push to talk.
These dumbasses just give out their address even though everyone knows about police swatting at this point. That or had it on some social media that required it and they didn't think to fill in false information.
