Bad sport pool = A more enjoyable playing experience

[James_Rogers]

I've just completed my first few sessions since being put in the bad sport pool.

 

Honestly can say I've really enjoyed it in there.

 

Most guys I've met are really chill, the random killings you find in normal player pool are much less frequent, even though it seemingly has no negative impact on your 'remaining time as a bad sport'.

 

I was wary as I came out of my garage when I first spawned in to a bad sport lobby, everyone was way higher level than me. There was a dude camping in a Entity and I thought... 'Here we go'. Instead he beeped his horn and I followed him and we went on some epic cruise.

 

After that another dude invited me and others over for a bad sport party, was quite fun and someone called a few strippers which was amusing.

 

Also, contrary to popular belief, most of the people I've met/heard actually sound old enough to own/play the game.

Whereas in the normal pool of players, it's often squeaker central and just general childish trolls.

 

I'm not saying I want to remain in the bad sport pool but it's just interesting how I'm finding my time more enjoyable whilst in there.

 

Obviously it'd be nice to get out of it to have the option to play with friends again but I just thought I'd share my experience and see if others had similar feelings?

 

I had one or two idiots during my few hour session but the vast majority I met were very co-operative.

 

I even met one dude who I partnered up with to unlock car mods through doing criminal records for an hour

... We then met up with another dude in free-roam and I had the most fun I've had since GTA:O came out. I've added him and I'd say I'd acquired a new friend I can now chill and play with online.

 

 

Obviously players may be playing more passively due to wanting to get back into normal player pool but it's widely known killing in free-roam whilst labelled a bad sport doesn't receive further punishment.

 

I know we're all in the bad sport pool for negative reasons, I myself for going on a rampage of blowing up personal cars, 90% of them were in retaliation to trigger happy idiots. I accept the consequences though!

 

I'll no doubt get immature replies like 'cool story bro' but I think this is more topic is actually of an okay quality and might make a decent read in amongst the whining and moaning.

 

So has anyone else had a similar experience?

I'm not surprised, the nonglitcher peasants are a volatile and barbaric bunch. They all have pent up anger because they're poor and don't have enough balls for glitching

Haha,, that's another thing. Everyone is rich as f*ck in the bad sport pool.. Awesome.

I spent 2 days as a Bad Sport and whilst I found very little difference in a full free roam session, the main problem I had was finding any race/deathmatch/survival lobbies that actually had people in. Which is understandable given the fact that there's a lot less people to play with.

The main reason why on average people might seem "nicer" in the bad sport sessions is likely because they're being "good" so they can return to the clean player sessions. Naturally there's gonna be less mindless destroying of cars and the sorts because the majority of players DON'T want to be bad sports.

"We all have the same expensive pretend crap."

"This game is boring. It's too easy."

Idiots profit from self destruction.

No one really cares, it isn't real.

I mostly play in private sessions with my friends. Still, nice to see someone isn't having a sh*tty experience in the bad sport pool, lol.

Agreed on that aspect, you can't get a race or deathmatch for love nor money.

 

It's free roam only really unless you team up with someone to farm a race or attempt survival.

That's actually hilarious, because you may have a lot of "balls" for glitching, but you surely lack intelligence and also balls because you are afraid of losing legit earned money, and i can't wait to see people like you crying when you get resetted and lose the money you won without effort.

[James_Rogers]

Can we not derail this isn't a glitching/non-glitchers debate! Although there is seemingly a positive correlation between glitchers and bad sports, they are mutually exclusive.

Glitching has no effect whether you are a bad sport or not, You get put in there for blowing up cars not glitching.

Keep dreaming peasant, and I'll keep spawnkilling you in my tankI do that too, there's no need of glitching to do that. You should try with a jet too by the way, little kids usually steal choppers and you can lock on them with the jet, funny how you hear them yell with their inmature voice hahahaha.

I'm disappointed no other bad sport has offered their view on the pool.
