boy was that a mistake. If there's a hobby you like, ,its always best to keep it niche, lest the mainstream completely ruins it and the hobby's communities as well

Normies are absolute cancer on multiplayer games, even though it's hilarious playing against them. On Battlebit for example and I don't know why this is the case, you see entire squads of people just proning behind the wall thinking no one is going to get them and then they wonder why they all get vaporised by me within seconds just by sneaking up behind them because they're all looking in one direction and not covering each other.
As long as I don't get falsely banned, that's fine. However apparently on more mainstream games there are false bannings happening quite regularly now and it's because the normies are reporting good players as hackers just because they get killed and you see it being warned about in the reviews. They don't realise that people like me who played Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 4 back in the day are lurking about and haven't had anything decent to play in years so they act shocked when the autists come out in force and mass murder them all.
It's interesting though to me from a gameplay perspective, when it comes to the traditional team modes and battle royale stuff most of the time normies ruin it all. However it seems if there's enough of a player count it balances out overall and you can get some good matches in. 127/127 as it turns out is a bit of a sweet spot because then organised clans can't come in and ruin things for randoms too.
Id software mistakenly allowed PC/Dreamcast cross platform play with a special PC patch of Quake 3. Guys who had been playing FPS on PC with a mouse and keyboard for a decade at that point invaded poor controller using Dreamcast player servers and just savagely demolished them.
If the player base of a game could run their own servers, and filter out the normies themselves, the level of play on more elite servers would go up. I remember those days playing Team Fortress Classic. Scrub servers were scrub, but I would go to the elite servers.
Yeah I got mass reported back in warzone 1 after winning and was shadowbanned for some time.
I get reported in Cold War Gunfight all the time. I'll dunk on a kid and then they see me using, you know, a mouse to freelook, rather than set sensitivity of a controller, in the killcam, and they call hacks. It's usually just amusing but gets tiresome.
I am of the personal opinion that if a computer can do it for you, it's not fun. Everyone should be aim-botting.
... and now I retreat again from the shooter game community.
I would say that depends a lot more on the gameplay mechanics whether the clans can ruin it or the normies, If we take a more "milsim" such as arma or squad gameplay the effect of org squad even with the same amount of players and game mode make a large difference. While with a battle royale stuff im not sure you can ever balance it between normies and not even sure how orgs would work in that setting.
