Worst you've dealt with online...

[bullet360]

You know something that bothers me in a way about the whole online thing is the fact parent's let children on it. I mean you can easily tell when there's a youngster in the lobby (if they have a mic) because their voice isn't broken, they sound about 8 or 9. Okay If I had child under the age of 12 or 13 I wouldn't let them online because when you're that young you don't grasp the meaning of Clean, Serious, No ramming, No stuffing about, at that age it's just a game, but for us mature players we wanna get on there and be serious about it and have some mature racing time.

I know it might be impossible or even sound unfair but there really should be age restrictions for online play. That would solve probably most of the problems people have online. I don't mean to be rude in saying this and I know it will annoy children reading this but, if there is any young kids reading this... seriously.. when you grow up and mature a bit you'll think back on this post and agree with me.

I understand what you are saying.. I was only 9 when gt3 came out and i took it as "race to win" i put turbo's and mufflers on everything i own... Now 10 years later i actually turned off the tcs and asm and its reall fun as hell... And yes i find myself fortunate that i still have a working ps1 and 2... My word does driver and atv offroad fury 1 bring back memories
But ya in gt5 i race as cleanly as can be...

Quote truncated

I have been sort of guilty of this. SORTOF.
Start gt5
Start looking for a room to race in.
Join room ( still in car from last session)
Now it looks like i came in the wrong car and will get yelled at or kicked.

Im still shakey sometimes when it comes to car classes so sometimes i do have the wrong car but will look to see what others are driving and choose that way.

I thank your awareness and i DO give chances to drivers like you... I just no longer have a tolerance for those that i asked repeatedly and still stay in the car, through mic and text...

Not all youngsters are rammers, a [tiny] few are quite clean and respectful. Some can even be willing to learn. Shouldn't just ban them all. Plenty of scumbags are more than old enough to know better, anyway.

LOL agree'd

I still don't like those kids w/ mics and cuss up a storm, like EX. "HEY 🤬 go 🤬 your self." it's horrible and awful how those kids cuss up a storm and how they are raised.

 

[Heath_1]

Not the worst but stupid nonetheless.. was just in a room with some idiot from here who has a room open for Nascars only but then cuts the HP limit to 601.

I tell you what I thought Americans were annoying and dumb but I'm really starting to think Aussies are just as bad.

Whats so bad about that? I find that slower racing is the best, not lmp and group c or little citreons, but somewhere in between.

Maybe he wanted something that would be closer to a NASCAR Nationwide Series race?

 

[Shift2Fan]

I haven't had many bad experiences online.

Just this one time, I was using my bud's PS3, account, and Red Bull X2010. Someone else in the room also had X2010, and he managed to block me every time I tried to overtake him!

I'm a pretty cool guy, so this didn't bug me, but he taunted me with his mic the sixth time I nipped his rear end.

 

[Shift2Fan]

And that is where the game fails ......

What do you mean?

Nothing wrong with that. 502 to 600hp is more realistic as it simulates restrictor plate racing.

Had some kid in a Red Bull ruining a free run the other day by deliberately driving into people. So I got my Red Bull out and did my best to keep him from ruining everyone elses time. He started calling me stuff over chat (surprisingly a name that is sometimes used for cats isn't caught by the word filter) and he said 'be quiet kid'. Funny how he shut up when I guessed him and his ramming friend were 13/14

I'm 14 but i know better. They might have been 11 or 12. But the X1 is a troll's dream.

 

[DLR]

I love the 10 years old who cuss up a storm thinking they are cool XD


Also the hillbillies; and I quote "Ey, gimmie yr tyune r' a'll kick ya". That made me laugh

 

[diptob79]

Entered a room, it was 560pp
Check the regulations, unrestricted, so i turned on the SRF
Check other people's car, mostly NSXs and Evoras, (bored with it), I use M3

So, i won the race, but then 1 guy start whining that I use SRF. He said "Skid recovery is for kids"

ok then I turned it off, and next 3 races he still behind me... and still whining on the chat.
poor guy..

 

[Bobert power]

Whiners these days, it sadly gets worse because of online now. But there are those who speak bleepanese, EX. ***********. And those who go

 

[Downhill Dino]

Bleepanese is a very interesting language. Anyone know some translations?

I was in a Top Gear free run server yesterday I think. And there was some guy doing the line break trick. You know? The one that supposedly looks like someone hacked you and says something insulting. Or saying inappropriate things about yourself. It was really funny. I said "Line break trick. Enough fooling around." Never saw another message from this guy. Whoever he was. It was really annoying, that's why I'm posting the story. He made one almost every minute. Very hard to make lap times with it popping up and being distracted. I'm usually fine with the chatbox, but trying to avoid drag racers at the same time is hard.

 

[Cowboys965]

I was in a Ferrari only lobby and come race time I hop in a Ferrari 330 P4 and this guy is like "Kick Cowboys he's not in a Ferrari" I write "It is a a Ferrari" then the guy says it's a race car and I need to use a racecar to win and race and I couldn't drive and says he's going to ram me into the sand on Laguna Seca first corner, last lap coming near the Corkscrew Chicane he rams me into the sand on the corner before, then I fail at dodging him and hit the wall at the Corkscrew Chicane and he hits me, after, the host switches to Circuit de la Sarthe 2005 without chicanes and pulls out a Red Bull and starts ramming me, but a guy in an FGT was defending me lol

Then on Top Gear Test Track the guy pulls out a Tony Stewart NASCAR and another guy says "You're an attention grabber aren't you?" LOL

 

[Crisp]

I had one day when I got into a break in your car lobby on daytona to put some miles on my new 300zx and my slr. this complete red neck goes get that japanese *h*t out of here! (my mercedes slr) and I pull out my zx and he goes now your doing better with that camaro! And I say that my slr is german. and my camaro (300ZX) is japanese. he starts cussing at me calling me a ****er to no end. I leave and then he starts messaging me that I'm *** and I should know that a camaro is american right. so I tell him to look it up. I'm assuming he did and then he goes you hacked my internet This ant no camaro this is one of those mazda ricers. I guess he typed in camaro and found a 2000ish picture. anyways he kept spamming me for like 2 hours. It was bad. but obviously I didnt care too much because this guy was obviously stupid to no end. but at the end of the day I get to post about how he made a complete A** of himself

 

[Shift2Fan]

Some griefer blew up at me because I refused his challenge to race Bugatti Veyrons for pinks the other day. After cussing enough to make a sailor look good, he quit the room.

Funny, the guy that was bothering me was southern sounding too, and I said "Yee haw" in the chat and I think the guy said he was from Oklahoma or something lol

 

[599GT]

- Mute everyone
- Never join hosts with enabled SRF

Never had a problem.

 

[rocko100]

- Never join hosts with enabled SRF

I can't do that, 90% of the time all other assists are off and I'm not a great driver...

Did you call him a retard for not knowing that Veyron's are untradable?? Even if he kicked your ass in a drag for pinks, you wouldn't have been able to send your Veyron even if you tried.

I'm not a mean person, so I refrained from mentioning it to avoid embarrassing him further.

 

[Flogger]

Just a quick note for the generic "enter a room, destroy anybodies chance for a clean run, and quit on the first lap" guy.

 

[trombone]

I got kicked from a room for using a Chrysler 300C tuned to 772hp to beat various assortments of racecars around Nurb at the 600pp level.
The thing is, they had mics so I could hear it coming. LOL

I figured I was too good of a driver for them and left a happy little message before leaving the room on my own.

 

[noisiaturismo]

I was doing shuffle races in Monaco and a guys comes up behind me and i block him, then he overtakes, but he slams me into the wall but fails to stall me, i come up from behind, brake late in the chicken and pushed out of his line into the wall.

Wow, If I had encountered you, I would be posting the story right here as well. There is no need at all to push someone into a wall. No matter the circumstance. You are just as bad as the people posted about in this thread.
