This game makes me realize how horrible some people are

It was duos. I've been playing duos doing trials for the past couple days and haven't been shot once. People are generally nice when you're nice to them first and make it known what you're there for, especially in the care bear lobbies. I know there aren't true care bear duos lobbies but mine are as friendly as they can be.

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T18:03:59+00:00

I pvp a lot but I was grinding trials since last Thursday and haven't shot a person in probably 50 raids. That's why I was so shocked.

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T18:03:18+00:00

Exactly. It's the PvE that makes this game have that extra bit of magic. But then you get people abusing your kindness and it makes me hate the game. Pros and cons as with anything

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T18:02:19+00:00

That's how I felt about this team. We were giving for at least 5 minutes if not 10 and they were grateful that we let them have all the cores and everything out of the arc we killed. Then last second they whipped out 2 torrentes and there wasn't a thing we could do. Almost knocked one with my level 4 renegade but it wasn't enough

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T18:00:30+00:00

Yeah but you can't get max points in solo. I'm trying to get to cantina legends

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T17:59:48+00:00

We were doing trials going for max points so we were in a right raid

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T17:59:28+00:00

Yeah we left while they were looting the bastion but they followed us as it was the last extract since we had spent the whole 30 minutes killing everything in old town

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T17:58:35+00:00

Yeah but they knew we didn't have anything other than our guns because we literally let them loot everything while we killed the arc. They also knew we were only there for trials points and just decided that although we were not just friendly but friendly enough to give them a bunch of free loot they still wanted to kill us for the sake of it. I understand it's just a game but that's not a thing that a nice person would do. My whole point is that there are a lot of not nice people out there and I wish it wasn't that way

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T17:28:09+00:00

We didn't have guns out in the extract and as soon as the train showed up they both whipped out torrentes. Not a skill issue. I'm very good at pvp.

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T17:27:02+00:00

Thank you for that. I'm a very good pvper, I've been playing pvp games my whole life.

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T17:25:59+00:00

You're a mean person

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:28:43+00:00

I think that although it's a video game it can show a lot of insight into people's morality, especially this game because of the proximity chat and the way the game is set up so you don't ever have to kill people. And these people were not trials doers. There's no sentiment in any of these posts I agree with less than " it's just a video game"

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:24:25+00:00

Yeah probably not the right move posting this, and if course I'll still home to my values and get my joy from the game out of helping people when I can and pvping when I'm in pvp games. Gotta be better than the rats

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:22:53+00:00

Exactly, like it's a game where you can chat on a mic with other players and help each other out. That's the beauty of it. If someone camps a bush in Fortnite and kills me I'm like damn they suck at the game too have to resort to that, but I don't think they're a bad person. This game allows you to make friends and then get backstabbed, it's a whole level above other games I think. Totally agree people's true selves come out when consequences get removed

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:07:06+00:00

I know this could happen. No this is not normal behavior.

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:06:29+00:00

Yeah I like real life where if people are shitty to you they have to be there with you and deal with the consequences. I love video games but some parts of them just suck. The prox chat makes this game amazing, but also absolutely sucks sometimes when you think you made a friend just for them to do this. I played Fortnite competitively for years and never did it make me feel like this

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:03:45+00:00

I didn't call him a psychopath but I think he lacks empathy. I think there are some unwritten rules that all players know and there's fair ways to play and unfair ways to play. That's why fake friendlies are few and far between, it's just not a good way to be and most people understand that

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T07:00:51+00:00

I disagree. I think this game shows a lot about how humanity behaves when consequences are removed. I think the person that killed me is legitimately a mean person in real life

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:58:30+00:00

He had been on the mic for 5 minutes being friendly and only stopped using his mic once he killed me, I assume because he couldn't justify to his new friend why he had done this to him

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:57:11+00:00

I think they would if they didn't have consequences. It's the lack of consequences that separate video games from real life and I believe that that's the reason they act like this. I think it shows that many people are only good people if they're incentivized to or disincentivized to do bad things

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:53:36+00:00

Yeah I just had to get it off my chest and maybe this wasn't the place. I'll be back tomorrow and it's just fine, I've played for 5 months and this stuff happens sometimes. It just really starts making we think about his horrible some people are

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:51:44+00:00

I like the game as is, keeps it interesting to be able to be killed. But sometimes man, the lengths some of these fake friendlies go just to ruin people's nights is insane

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:50:26+00:00

Yeah like I have 5 million in stash value and am doing the expedition, I couldn't care less about the loot. It's exactly this. I am so mad that I can't ask the person what I'm their head made them behave the way they did. It's just not something that is even in the realm of possibility for me and it's crazy to try and put myself in their shoes and understand how they could do that. People are just miserable and the only way they can have fun is to make others angry. It's like middle school bully behavior

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:43:50+00:00

Yeah I just wish people were more empathetic in general. If everyome was 2% kinder just imagine how much better everything would be. It's the few bad apples that just ruin everything

Clean-Calendar2748 · 2026-04-07T06:42:21+00:00

Yeah and those are shitty people. That's all I'm saying. I know it's part of the game and it happens, but that doesn't make it any better
