in my opinion, every pvp game has a toxic playerbase. it comes with the territory of pvp games, planetside 2 is just about the only pvp game i don’t absolutely despise and want to kill myself while playing. it will probably be the last pvp game i ever play in my lifespan. Hackers will make pvp an irrelevant concept over time as devs don’t know how to deaal with the problem, pve and single player games are the only future where things are fair until the hacking problem in all pvp games is gone or reduced significantly. until that time, people will continue to self harm with pvp games i think. which yes, i do consider most pvp games self harm, league of legends is the worst of it. It’s a prime example of exactly what pvp creates, i dont think competition makes people better, i think it just turns them into the worst possible assholes. Once planetside 2 is gone, pvp will be dead for me for the remainder of my lifespan i imagine until something in the gaming noosphere changes.
