GamerFitNation talks about the lack of manners that gamers have when they are playing online. "This is especially prevalent in younger gamers. The games that have the worst language are the ones where professionals of that game dont show good manners, and it trickles down to the causal gamers".
TNS: "A League of Legends game mode, Arena, will return with some major changes that may breathe some life for a stagnant game."

People change, one asshole ingame triggers the rest to a point of not giving a damn.
Iv'e had this happen as well, i always made a point of being my normal self, thanking ppl for ammo or health and whatnot.
But after the 569,928 th attention seeking doushbag cursing yelling screaming to a point where i just had to tell them to Shut The ^@% Up! this and that.
Then i found myself being infected by the lameness, which is halve the cure really.
I then noticed that when somebody would be a dick, i just asked them why they acted so weird...
Worked as a silver bullet to a vampire, they melted.

to many beers, off to bed.
My style is to be classy and invite my fellow teammates to a cup of joe. Nothing like sharing hot coffee with strangers I've never met.
thing is I bet most of those guys are like cats in real life situations
So, your complaining about bad language in a rated M game that your playing?
That makes a whole lot of sense.
(Sarcasm.)
Even if people cuss so f***ing what it's called freedom of speech and guess what there's an optional mute button use it already.
Anytime I go online I expect people to be frustrated, complain, get aggressive, call out info to team mates and what not.
Nobody likes to lose but for every loss you learn from it and get better.
If you can't appreciate losing how can you appreciate winning.
Nowadays I just don't give a crap anymore if I win or lose or get bad scores because there's more important things to worry about then some virtual scores that mean nothing in the real world.
Of course, this article should be headed: "the lack of <i> good </i> manners when playing online. There's no lack of bad manners.
Perhaps the solution is to host multiplayer games yourself and make it clear that you are not looking to be infested with bottomfeeding players who have speech and personality disorders.
In Multiplayer, the bad often drive out the good; and no one, as yet, has figured out a way for serious players to meet one another on a regular basis without having to put up with idiots who in addition to being idiots, are drunk or high and working out their aggressions.
Maybe we need a new tier of XBox Live, where we pay a small premium to play with "vetted" players to whom gaming is the main thing, not working out their demons and demonstrating their immaturity through video games.
DFresh asked: "So, your (sic) complaining about bad language in a rated M game that your playing?"
Just because one is playing GTA or Battlefield doesn't mean that one has to do poor imitations of the characters in those games; in fact, most videogame characters i have observed could not proficiently play the games in which they appear. They tend to be knuckleheads -- great at using weapons and that's it.
It's not "bad language" that is the issue (for me); it's the moronic way that expletives are used by some multiplayers, reducing the speaker to incoherence.
In a work of art (which the best games are) profanity may well be justified (and even funny), but at the level of multiplayers who use their limited vocabularies repetitiously, the sounds are just senseless, boring and irritating.
