What do these people think they gain?

Whats the point?

Do they really just want to ruin stuff for everyone?

    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.
