Worst breed of online gamer?

The worst breed are probably the legions of fans that whine endlessly about balance or what have you in an MMO while continuing to pay the subscription fee to play the game. It's like complaining about the quality of some street thugs cocaine while you're actively purchasing more.
In my book, voice chat is reserved for two primary functions: friendly banter or information useful for winning the game. In some games, good communication can literally be the key to domination, and yet people so regularly misuse the system that I just plug in the headset and set it on the ground.ForgottenPr0digy said:
Everyone in the online community. They are all assholes. Maybe you find one or two nice people, but the majority are either whining twelve year old bastards or the so called "pros" who can't stop talking trash to pay attention to the fucking game, and get there assess kicked by the other guy who hardly uses his mic and actually plays the game. Then there's my favorite; the homophobic, racist, sexist kids who can't go on without insulting people every minute of the game. Jesus, online gaming is like a cesspool of evil!
I don't really play online a lot, but the last game I was online with was C&C 3. The worst people I ran into on there were the ones who would give you a poor sportsmanship rating for winning because they made the stupidest of mistakes, and the 'pros' who's only strategy was to get to tanks and flood your base with them as soon as possible.
Wait, what? When have you run into these? Because I sure haven't, and I'm pretty sure they're damned rare.seidlet said:
Note: It may look like I'm asking for location tips because I want a girlfriend, but my ideal girlfriend would not be found playing video games online. I would like a girlfriend, though.
I do what works. It's a game, I'm not supposed to hold back, why should I care if somebody already did most of my work for me, I'll still kill you. Call me a "janitor" if you want, but if I walk into two guys having a gunfight, and both are weakened, then how am I wrong for taking advantage of the situation and killing them both? What am I supposed to do, deliberately hold back? No. No, I will not do that. Don't be upset because I, without breaking the rules of the game, did what works to win.
I hate the stereotypical prepubescent prick who can't stop saying words he learned from Family Guy or South Park. It's even worst when there is a grown woman in the game and the kid just has to hit on her!
After just playing CoD4, the bunny hopping, shotgun/P90/M14 whoring, grenade spamming bastards that ruin the game for you when you actually try to play it. There are 2 types of servers in Call of Duty 4-those with players that play it right, and the aforementioned bastards. They ruin the game, they truly due. One moment your team is moving forward, the next some cheeky bugger jumps out with a noob tube, blows half of you away and takes out the rest all the while jumping like every soldier does in battle in real life. If I were using a controller it would be through my screen everytime I meet one of these pricks. They're the reason so many people don't like the game. Without them it's great, with them I am about to murder my keyboard.
I'd say Hackers, but the Glitchers that claim they aren't cheating are the worst. Sometimes I think they actually believe that they're right and it's okay to glitch.
That dude who picks the same character as you in Street Fighter IV and spams you with special moves.
Ken spammers who use the Hadoken almost exclusively because you are trying to block their attacks.
Gamers that boot you out of the match lobby when you beat them, even if you only beat them once.
People in Playstation Home who hit on girls all the time. I mostly leave them alone unless one talks to me.
Goths in Everybody's Golf: World Tour who discuss smoking weed in what is meant to be a G rated game which CHILDREN play. Seriously, some were talking about smoking reefers WHILE THEY WERE PLAYING THE GAME.

That's like going up to an NFL star who just lost the Superbowl and saying "for fuck's sake it's a game".psypherus said:
-The rage quitters. Especially after they trash talk how good they are.
-The team swappers, that swap sides when their team is losing (happens alot in public TF2 games. They swap to spectator, then change sides when a spot frees up).
