Mainly competitive ones *coughFPSGAMEScough*. Why are the people who play these games so angry and discontent with life? Origin appeared to be offline earlier so I went to the BF3 forums to see if other people were having the same issue. Other people were having the same issue as I found out quickly by seeing the 5 or so threads about "Origin is down why?" I could've probably stopped there since it's obvious that idiots go to that forum who don't know how to read and see that a topic has already been created, but I decided to go into one to be sure that I was looking at the right issue. Worst mistake ever.
Every single post in there had 0 information about the problem except for "omfg my origin isn't working" and I think just about every post in there was just someone else saying "I have the same issue too <insert short jab at Origin or EA>". A few people were obviously pissed since they posted more than once going "WTF*** is wrong with EA!? Piece of **** program can't ****... etc." I don't understand why a little unplanned downtime can incite so much rage over a game... The game's not going away, this is just temporary down time b/c something happened, why can't people be normal about this?
This kind of raging extends to in game when people start talking smack to each other. I was kicked from a server once because someone was swearing at me for shooting him with an RPG and I was baiting him just to troll ^^; People there are just so easy to troll I don't even need to try anymore... I've seen this kind of behavior in other competitive games also. I don't understand why people can't just be calm (doesn't mean I can't have fun trolling people though ^^).
