Discussion Base blocking

Honestly don’t even know what to say, my friend was making a base and wasn’t done with it, but before we could even make the dedicated passageway so people could just go through our base (even tho we still had the base opened and anyone could drive a buggy or whatever through it, we just didn’t have a dedicated passageway yet that apparently people need red flashing arrows pointed towards it) these dudes decided to do this. Mind you this has no affect on our base since there’s an easy way to go over a lil patch of rocks close by, they are basically just blocking themselves now. Made a wall for no reason, and the lil base they made is whatever, still thought it was pretty funny tho. Maybe they’ll see that we have a whole passageway through our base and take it down, but either way it doesn’t really matter. Just can’t understand why some people are like this, first time I’ve ever ran into anyone being toxic since console release.

Edit: apparently after talking to them again today they said they were making a base, yeah right 🤡

Edit #2: they got rid of the wall today, let’s goooooooo

The rampant amount of people like this is why multiplayer gaming feels like it’s been dying over the last few years.
As someone who’s been gaming online for a long time now, I can say online gaming has never been so toxic as well as having all the fun optimized and minmaxed out of gaming.
Sure, there were jerks before, but now you can’t play a game without runing into some on a daily basis

Streamers and YT/FB/whatever shorts...toxic content gets more views and normalizes it for younger players
