Warcraft 3 online = worthless

As some of you know, I have a love/hate relationship with Warcraft 3 online. I\'ve come to the conclusion that the lowest forms of life play this game.


I just spent 45 minutes TRYING to play a game.


I joined one, and some people lagged out or quit making it 4 on 1 (the 1 being me) within about 45 seconds.

Joined another one and I got called every name in the book and was repeatidly called "noob"\' because i wouldn\'t make the exact troops this dude wanted me to make.

I don\'t know how many times I\'ve typed "This is only a game" to these people who take it very personally when they lose.

Joined another one and was attacked and destroyed by one of my own teammates because someone else on our team made him mad.




Decided to try one more time... Right from the start one of my teammates was actually named "IKILLTEAMATES"

Guess what happened?




The amount of stupidity I\'ve seen on Battle.net has been enough to last the rest of my life.



So, after 500+ games online, I officially retire from the sad world of 12 year old morons that is Warcraft 3.















Are all online strategy-type games ful of this much retardation? Or is this a Warcraft 3/Battle.net specific situation?

That almost made me cry.

Dang.  I need to play that game again.  I just got tired of piece of crap player peon bashing me.

I played C&C Generals with strangers online but they would gang up on me too just to raise their stupid little ranking.  You can find some decent servers, since the game is more noob friendly than others but you still have to watch out.

Now I only play single player skirmishes for fun or with ppl I know.

Luke stuck with it longer than the rest of us.  I can\'t think of many good online games right now.

Man, I really do love the game... It\'s the people that play it I hate.

I\'ve been playing champions of norrath pretty frequently.  Had to reformat my win2k partition the other day and I still haven\'t installed all the games I have.

See this is when being a nerd comes in handy if you have nerdy friends that are willing to play with you. Not a bunch of teenage morons that dont play right. UT2004 is ok. You cant really kill your teamates anyway. In terms of RTS\'s, i have no idea. If you are going old school then maybe Red Alert 2 but even then i doubt you will loose the bastards.

Damn kids piss me off

I think that all online games suffer from trolling and irritating people who leave behind their normal personalities, but at the same time, battle net, and other free multiplayer services tend to have a higher percentage of idiots, if only because the worst offenders tend not to pay for non playing (TKers), and they can get booted from a premium/pay service for stupidities.
