Online games are a great source of fun. But is such amusement enough to leave your manners behind? It is just saddening that the presence of online games also leads people to show off values of vulgarity, rudeness, and plain boring manners that can rip your sanity if you’re not careful. Although there are still those who can be considered as ‘mature gamers”, however once you go online to play, might as well expect misbehavior from other players because this is what normally happens in the world of internet gaming.
Irregardless of the fact that one can get anonymous online which is why there is really t no need to get very emotionally linked to other players, this however is not enough to get rid of the values that your parents tried to give you ever since time immemorial. In order to bring back politeness and decency when playing online games, here are some pointers to take into consideration:
1. Honesty is Always the Best Policy
Cheating can lead you to victory but this is not enough to get you that euphoria you’ll get from an honest play. Fair fight is always rewarding. In case you really into the idea of bringing home the bacon then you has the need to practice day in and day out just to master the game. This is what successful players would normally do. In case a competition prove to be so much for you, try looking for other online games that you can excel in.
2. Never Do Any Spamming
Spammers come aplenty in the online world. There is no point to hammer the chat system with messages just to make a trade. Remember that if people aren’t interested of what you have to offer then you will never get a “yes” response even if you repeat your message every second.
3. Be a Sport
It is wrong to laugh at your opponent if you win over them while it is also erroneous to hate your competitor once you got defeated from the online games you are playing. You should know better that this is just a game.
4. Pardon the Caps
The prohibition of the use of capital letters in chat is a no-brainer. When you do this, it is like yelling to someone. Not unless you enjoy being yelled at, you must never use all-caps to type your message. Learn how to respect the sentiments of other people who are into the world of online games.
5. Everyone Has Been a Newbie
It is likely that you will meet a newbie once you go playing on online games. Typically, people will laugh at someone who is just starting to grasp the process of the game. This should not be the case. You have to realize that once upon a time, you have been a newbie too which is why there is really no point why you should call someone a “noob” and laugh at him. Who knows if someday, he or she will become an expert of the game thus ending up being better than the way you play the game, what will you feel?
