Ok for all you people who put your 2 cents in and admited you don't game online, or not much at all, do us online players a favor and use your suggested reserve you all have and shut up! You don't game online on Sins yet you have an opinion. Wow! As for the list, thank you how the and yes I agree and it does lots of good to blacklist these players even though they can just make up another name. How many names are they going to make? 20? 200? And who are they? Nobody. because the second they start thier disuptive play they have to come up with another name and poof......nobody again. doesn't matter if they win or lose cause another name has to be made anyway. These guys also won't ever be able to get into skilled games ever because of black list or no record. That has an imediate impact and thank god for that.

These guys on this list and the ones who will be put on soon are not just having a bad day, (with the exception possibly of IG) this is something that they are consistantly doing and more than once with differnt players.

Players like IG who I belive was having a bad day, or got pissed in the heat of battle like most competitive players do, will have to petetion to have thier names removed and prove to offended players that that behavior is not to be expected anymore. Eventually a disruptive player who wants to get back to playing the game and have his name or record or both will have to start acting like a real player instead of an a-hole.

Its like Ebay negative feedback...

Someone who has sold(read played) 1000s of items(read games) , will have alot of negative feedback responses but will still have a 99% positive score. But even tho hes good in 99% of games , he will still be added to the blacklist because of the 1% who didnt like him.

Thats a bit like me. Ive played thousands of games , and im good in about 99% of them. But there are still people i dont get along with in 1% of games which is still about 10!

As a new player to Sins I am quite disgusted by the multiplayer community so far - do you really need to name and shame?

I play games to relax and have fun. So far I have had mainly bad experiences from Sins. People 'smurfing' (get a life), so called pro players that join games clearly marked 'new players' whats the point?

Some vets have been nice and given me tips on how to play better and such, while most are egotistical pricks. I don't think any of this helps the very low online presence of the game and threads like this are very damaging for the community as a whole. If I was working for stardock/IC marketing I would pull this thread as this puts off new players like myself ever going back online.

I actualy thought highly of you as a great person, but this, this is just childish, keep this info to yourself, let people online figure it out and let those black sheep to be pushed aside naturally. When new people se this, people will ask what kind a multiplayer is; this an immature one. This is what turns away new people from getting this game for the online fun that is better than most other games.

Darth, do with the list as you see fit.  I find that having a list that people can colaborate on allows for a more usable list.
