Trolling; Why?

[theGypsy]

Seeing a few posts today... so it must be the topic du jour? Anyway....

 

For starters, I am not talking about the GTAF, that's a completely diff story and one I'd like to avoid atm.

 

But, in the game; what's the goal?

 

To get some squeaker raging?

To show yer awesomeness?

To fight the boredom until that next big thing comes along (DLC etc)?

To get a laugh at another players expense/frustration?

 

Sure, when I started I stickied the odd vehicle outside of LSC. Trapped peeps in a store. Rampaged with a tank. On and on... but to be honest, it got old real quick. Maybe I'm not enough of a sadist, but I just didn't find it "fun". At least not over the long haul. Do you go into the local pub and knock over people's beers and sing the "trololol" song? Does anyone actually "troll" people IRL? Or is this just some kinda ego-feed for online gamers?

 

And I guess in extension to the topic; why do some people allow trolls to affect them? If I am getting trolled or spawn trapped, it's pretty easy to go off radar, go passive, find a new session and so on. I don't get worked up about it as... well... it's a fckn game. I re-spawn when I "die" and tbh, money isn't all that hard to come by (if for example, that tanker doesn't have to pay the insurance)

 

The trolls over in Battlefield are even funnier... putting c4 on a friendly vehicle to blow it up when someone gets in, just for the reaction.

 

So, can someone please enlighten me as to what is so 'fun' about it? Again, I ain't judging per se... ya'll can play the game as U please. No skin off my nads. I just struggle to see the point of it.

 

Maybe, once more, I am just way too old....

I give props to anyone who trolls the likes of you.

[ellenjanuary]

Because it's fun. Some people are just that special kind of asshole.

All of these, and more. But mainly? Because it's online. Morons can hide behind a controller and act like an ass, and not worry about having their faces smashed in.

I wish I could eat a apple, and when I eat that apple it tastes like a orange. But watch out! That orange may secretly smell like my nuts. And guess what......DEEEEEEEZZZ nuts are in your faaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccceeeeeeeeee.

Anonymity. And the usual "because I can." That's why.

 

Not saying that's me or anything. Just that that is the mindset of most trolls.

Just sounds like another butt-hurt player who got owned online by some other player and kept getting killed over and over.

 

I'll tell you what I tell every other butt-hurt player who cries because they get killed or owned......

 

It's Grand Theft Auto. What do you want? Do you want to hold hands with other players online while you frolic through the fields, picking flower and riding ponies? Sure sounds like that's what you want.

 

But seriously....Private sessions exist for a reason. Co-op missions exist for a reason, friends exists for a reason, solo session exists for a reason.... and FREE ROAM (anything goes) exists for a reason.

 

Please use your brain and stop crying

 

btw, don't bother replying to me, I won't be coming back here. And any personal message I get, I'll just delete before reading.

Careful he's trying to be edgy.

[Bozzah]

I mostly do it to people with levels above 350 or 400 or those who are in tanks

 

if someone is acting like a fully retarded e-thug over his mic or has an unusually high k/d ratio by camping around corners, he's gonna get it, too.

 

 

-> kill them until they leave, and then write them stupid messages like : ahahaha pwned, just to make them rage even more.

 

 

 

those are my main targets. but you gotta define trolling first... I mean beating up a lvl3 guy with a crowbar IS funny, I would laugh aswell if someone did that to mee. Crashing into someone with a plane or other things that are a little harder to pull off are generally funny randomly killing people is just the way I like playing this game, and as it's an obvious feature of the game, I will not change my mind that fast.

Its definitely depends who it is, if i'm just with a few crew members doing stunts and stuff, you know just messing around and someone just comes and kills us a few times and ruins the fun, then runs off, i'll go rouge on them and just f*ck them up sooooo many times. leave them for 5 to get back into their comfort zone, then f*ck them up a few more times in numerous ways

TODAY IS TROLL DAY! YOLO

I don't even know what yolo means. Just seen some remarkably stupid people use this in crazy nonsense post like the one I typed above. Hence I decided to type the word.

No more Yolo talk. It means: I wear tight skinny jeans and suck my dude friends off than yell YOLO as they squirt on my face.

So unless thats you....No more Yolo talk outta you

[StewNorth]

OP is kinda overthinking this.

 

Sometimes you mess about, sometimes you don't. That's all there is to it.

bwaa ha ha ha ha.... oh man, you guys make it just TOOO easy yea? Kinda why I mentioned I was keeping GTAF outta this. I could almost hear the responses in my head with what some have already replied with. Thanks for keeping up the consistency and my faith in the ignorance and vitriol that is rampant on GTAF.

 

"crying" "12 year old" "butt hurt player"

 

Seriously, as I mentioned in the "Help" thread (now locked lol), I could write a program with the standard ignorant replies posted here daily and ya'll could just click a button to have it fill in the reply box and save yerselves some time.

 

I own a few companies, have a family and well... I play games for fun. I don't rage. I don't really care what others do. Gaming is not a pissing contest in case some of ya didn't know. It actually means nothing IRL. Ya'll take this sh*t waaaaay too seriously LOL.

 

 

those are my main targets. but you gotta define trolling first...

 

Yes, to a degree I guess that's part of what I was looking to get at....

 

Dear Mods; please do feel free to lock with one up now. We can all see where it's headed. Sure, I was being somewhat cheeky knowing what I'd get from the tread, but I was actually interested in potentially having a bit of a discussion around it. That's my own ignorance I guess. At the end of the day, I have seemingly trolled the trolls. My bad.

 

To those that actually tried to have a convo on this; my bad folks... it was inevitable that it would have gone this direction

 

All hail international troll day!
