What do these people think they gain?

Whats the point?

Do they really just want to ruin stuff for everyone?

    Well, in some cultures, if you’re not cheating to get ahead you’re considered a sucker.

      I myself don’t cheat, but aside from hacking the actual code, I don’t think it’s cheating to do anything the game’s mechanics call for.

      Most notably, I hate when people complain about spawn camping and snipers dominating.

      My philosophy is: figure out a strategy to oppose that strategy. And avoid letting your spawn get overrun.

      There are assholes I really hate though. Two experiences that really ground my gears were:

      • Getting my bed surrounded by lava, in Minecraft multiplayer
      • Getting boarded by a galleon crew who spawn killed us repeatedly on our sloop, without ever sinking our ship, in Sea of Thieves

      I don’t mind being beaten, but being tortured is a whole new thing IMO.

        Is this not contradictory?

        Disclaimer: I’ve never played Sea of Thieves.

        All of those issues sound like things the game developers should figure out solutions to. If there’s a boring behaviour that results in boring gameplay and people can’t do much against that unless they have overwhelming skill… Yeah sounds like a problem that they need to solve somehow.

        Because games should be fun.
