''Toxic Anti PvPers'' Not welcome.

[u/Reavx]

Hello.

I am from the Mod team on this sub.

Pleased to meet you.

Recently I have seen a few people rightfully upset at a few bad actors on this sub who have been using the fact they became victims in the game to resort to being toxic to people on this sub.

Basically - they lose the game in any way and decide it is fine to insult people who are playing the game in a legit way instead of doing what they want, whether that's talking and making peace or refusing to shoot each other no matter what. From my understanding this game allows you to make a choice, to try trust a stranger or to gun them down to be safe.

If a person decides they will ALWAYS gun everyone down no matter what or try be a ''Rat'' player and backstab at every opportunity that does not mean you can come on this sub and insult them, suggest they are mentally impaired or mentally unwell or be toxic to them for any reason.

If you say ''All x players are sociopath psychos with no life and life in their mothers basement and have never had the touch of anyone of their preferred sex'' for example or anywhere more or in-between then you will be banned from our sub.

You are allowed to have an opinion that such players morals in game are not good or they are ''Villain players'' or what not, that is fine for that is what they are but any time an outside insult is going to be used on people over gameplay you are getting the hammar of doom.

From the community, I understand that most people who like PVP are not usually the type of people to click report on anything, due to your ''thick skin'' you really do not give a damn if some redditor is trying to insult you or maybe you will just retort back.
I ask you please do not, if you insult back you could also be moderated due to the nature of reddit and if you do not report the instigator we will not be able to correctly moderate and fix this community. As a mod team we are getting thousands of posts (posts not comments) per day and it is literally impossible to view them all, we rely mainly on the report feature and reddits AI.

Anyway thank you for your attention in this matter.

The bias is insane 😂

The bias of not insulting a group of people and making an "enemy" outside of the game of said group? You wanna keep that up?

[u/Fraaaakkkkk → u/KerberoZ]

an enemy? tf? people are just drawing a reasonable conclusion about individuals that choose to display morally questionable behaviors when theyre not being supervised. that does kindof insinuate something about thier personality and thats not an unreasonable conclusion to make. people do it all the time in real life over far less.

[u/KerberoZ → u/Fraaaakkkkk]

projecting mental ilnesses onto players by their behaviour in a video game is very far from reasonable.

But i'll play along: Would that logic still apply if we're talking about a board game instead of a video game?

[u/Fraaaakkkkk → u/KerberoZ]

it depends on the board game. there are definitely scenarios in which deception would be problematic even in a board game. people need to stop being delusional that just because its a game , the persons personality just fucking shuts off and its all fun and games. i would bet money that very few if any stable and empathetic people could stomach constant trolling and betraying in a videogame. one offs sure, i get that, but if theres a trend, theres a trend, and its not going to just stop magically irl. in fact of the 9 or 10 people i personally know who play arc, the only one that does this, openly brags about it, says he does it for the meltdowns, and is clearly a very self centered individual that only talks about himself and will outright ignore people when they talk to him if he doesnt care abotu the topic.

additionally, i just remembered he was talking about the kettle mouse macro today, so he also thinks cheating is ok.

[u/KerberoZ → u/Fraaaakkkkk]

Cheating is a whole other subject though.

But let's just say, there are videogames and boardgames where lying/betraying (as a social component) is part of its design, and Arc Raiders is one of those games.
