GoI:O on Playstation
Squidslinger Gilder:
Not so negligible as you'd think. Yeah they are a small fraction of the community but their behavior even for a brief time can make or break the experience for others. Now I thought I read somewhere that Guns will be on the PS+ program so it will be free to play. This is great and terrible at the same time. Get a potential huge player pool but also more players like this could and would load it up for shits n giggles, and of course finding ways to troll.
So say just 1% of the population is this mentality, that is still 2500 players too many. If each one trolls or is abusive in 5 matches a day, that does add up and there would be potential for him to affect 7 others each time. Granted their time here may be short but players scorned by these types of people do not come back easily. You can bet the lowbie matches would be filled with them. New players do not have the knowledge to look for high level matches and would quickly quit/uninstall when treated to this.
Going into AM and really building on the life of this game will be affected by these kinds of people. Now do we want it to be like Chivalry where every match there is a kick vote for TKing every few seconds, no. But we're going to need something so it will be detrimental for these sorts of players. Better to have them quit and go back to the cesspool where they spawned than for new players to quit. People are more often to report negative experiences to more people than they are positive. I've worked in theme parks and I'm very familiar with it.
CoD players have and will play this game. Lot of them are looking for something different to play. Remember the age of most of these players is young, they are growing up and desiring different play styles. Trouble is, their behavior has not changed. I've seen them in game already. They are around.
N-Sunderland:
It won't be f2p. There you go, no need to worry about that.

Honestly, I'm excited to have new players, and I think everybody else will be too. If they start getting horrible, we'll handle them. Not before. If this is a problem, I don't know what to say.
Sgt. Spoon:
Well even though it won't be F2P, I can still agree quite a bit with Gilders sentiment. Better be prepared for a potentional threat than letting it catch us with our pants down. Even though your main console kiddies won't touch it, you're still gonna see a general increase in trolls and similar. It'll be interesting to see how much though.
Imagine:
More players > no new players.
Don't care how much you wanna whine about trolls, for a game like this to continue to grow and expand you'll just have to deal.
