What are you playing at the moment?

You will still get the same percentage of idiots and assholes as in P2P. All F2P does is increase the potential population so, of course, it just seems like more when really it's just the same percentage as before.

I doubt hard data on this exists, but I tend to find that free2play games have crueler and ruder populations, at least in my experience.

[Winged Nazgul]

I don't have hard data to support my claim either but I just refuse to believe playing a F2P game makes you more crueler or ruder than if you were playing a P2P game.

I think the argument would be that the 'nothing to lose' proposition coupled with the increased availability for immature (read: child) gamers creates a more hostile atmosphere.

Oh no, it doesn't. But stupid kids and teens usually can't enter P2P games. Usually. And since they don't have to pay for it, RMTers are more likely to invade, as well as all sorts of cheaters and hackers.

I think you're doing kids and teens a disservice lumping them into one broad category. As for the others, a good game will hopefully weed them out no matter their payment model.

Clearly you have never played WoW. Mommy's credit card goes a long way.

Still in Dark Souls right now and it's time to grind like a mother(expletive). I read somewhere that I could gain Humanity by killing a bajillion hollows around the area where the boss is still alive and I noticed a few times that my Humanity counter rises all so suddenly, so I'll just keep on killing and leveling up and upgrading my shit.

My PC could boot up again, somehow. Maybe this time I get to finish DX...

CoH:O had a well mannered community (which loved to complain about balance). Battlefield Heroes and Free Planetside players seemed fine too.

Made it to max level several times, and even raided every now and then. WoW is the main reason for the second "Usually" in that post.

Mind you I fully intend to pay, they truly deserve it, but it should've been a P2P title. Beign F2P is just going to attract a ridiculous amount of idiots, spammers, RMTers and god only knows what else.

This actually doesn't sound like a 'bad' F2P model in itself, but to make it work they have to resist heavily restricting other features and making the xp gain rate super low without boosters. They say nice words, but who's to say they'll always be nice with it?

I rather pay the 12 euros a month and gain full access to everything than play a FP2 game with some cash shop where people can buy their gear and stats, to be honest.

Not really,i mean its fifty/fifty,every game have bad and good players. I remember my first match in COH,it was 2 on 2 and this fellow was really helpful to me and everything,basically he won the whole match when i struggled to build some shit back in base x) Then next few matches people were pricks -.-

[Blurr11]

I just picked up Witcher on a whim I don't play RPG and have never got into one but all of a sudden I'm 6h in and loving in the combat is fun and hard the game is pretty and the story is great (even though I don't like high fantasy) this is the first RPG I'v ever enjoyed !

[sabrage]

I play almost exclusively now with the RPS EU LoL community (join the chat channel 'The RPS Tea Room') and it makes the game 100% more bearable. Sure you'll still get horrible people as opposition from time to time, but you can just chuckle at their childish sniping as a group and get on with playing and enjoying the game. Unless you beat a particularly mouthy opposition, at which point you can co-ordinate a series of team responses aimed at maximum humiliation.

I have no doubt that the European servers have less shit on the floor, but that's not really an option for me.

[Voon]

Today, I kicked ass. Upgrading my halberd to +5 and getting my humanity so Solaire could join me in the fight against the Bell Gargoyles was glorious. Solaire surived and gave me a medal too. Awesome. And sure, I lost my chance to get a Gargoyle Axe and lost my humanity again, shortly after but it's all worth it.

Be assured, what the EU servers may lack in shit, they make up for in filth.

They attack from the bottom and sides as well, so if you've set your options to return 100 results to the page you're going to miss a few.
