Burnout

So, what's the point in leaving these servers up? I've never met such a toxic playerbase. 

For example, another player was struggling to complete a challenge. The other players, who are longtime established players were shouting "f**king **bleep**" down their microphones at him. Was this is the only example of this type of behaviour from the few days I've been playing? Nope. 

The video of them failing the challenge, was then shared to the Burnout Discord server and then further mocked with more slurs, both in regard to learning disabilities and race (the N word). 

Not a single person amongst the established playerbase refused to partake in this behaviour. Also, if you're new to the game, enjoy being kicked the second you enter the lobby the majority of the time. Fail a challege? Don't know where something is? Enjoy your kick, and then hateful messages sent to your inbox. 

It's obvious that players who have played Burnout Paradise for a long time are hostile to new players, along with the racism and other slurs. I see no reason why these servers are kept open. Shut them down.

    Where it says beep, I typed the word Re**rd. As this is what they were yelling at the player. If it's not allowed to say it here, it shouldn't be allowed to be said unchecked in your servers.
