Hello all,

I've been a big fan of this game since it first came out and have played it all throughout from the original, entrenchment, diplomacy and finally rebellion. Most of the time I just played SP against AI but started playing MP during trinity 2 years ago more or less. Ever since then I got slowly turned off by the MP community and have stopped playing the game and then returning to it after forgetting the general douchebaggery I experienced at MP games and then leaving again after getting turned off ad infinitum.

Usually I wouldn't rant here due to having other games to fall back to but this takes the cake. Since I am more or less a casual MP player due to time constraints I never got to know anyone in the MP community other than playing a game or two with them so I usually get kicked out of a game lobby after joining one because they usually are waiting for friends to play with and not some random guy. This one time however really made me angry. It's just your garden variety 5v5 game and I joined it. Cue 40 minute wait the game is full and we were all ready to play and then suddenly one guy said he has friends that wants to join and then they kicked off the two newbs(me and some guy and before anyone points out the game was just a plain "5v5" and not any variation of "5v5 skilled") and then started immediately after we got kicked. After than there weren't any MP games I can join due to low player count on ICO. Of course this has happened to me before more or less in the past but this is the last straw for me.
