Ohhhh... I have very BAD memories of WOT.... I was still in Scotland and my partner was in Croatia so we were playing together, I was a total noob and could barely steer my tank and had not a clue about the maps let alone anything else. The game got quite intense and before I knew it it was only me and another guy left on the team... suddenly it was all on me as the other guy overturned his tank.... the comments on the left hand side of the screen started pouring in and my bf was shouting (from Croatia)... I had to either cap the point (well that wasnt going to happen) or get the other tank back on its tracks again. Insults and rude stuff were flying and I was uber stressed, somehow with the luck of the gods and my partner screaming instructions I managed to get the guy back on his tracks and he capped the point and we won. Hurray you would think?
Nope I was so stressed I was in tears, it was the most horrible thing I have subjected myself to in the name of so called fun. Needless to say that was my World of Tanks career over 😃
I couldn't believe how mean and rude and horrid they were ☹️
😭 It's just so unnecessary.
Gaming is supposed to be FUN.

I was raised in a challenging environment and at one point in life, gaming was the ONLY thing I had to look forward to. Now that I’m grown, I think back to that troubled time in my life and it terrifies me to think where I’d be now, if I didn’t have gaming back then. I seriously doubt I’d be here today. 🙁.
When I see people taunting me, now, it isn’t that bad but I think about misfortunate youth and get really protective/defensive when I see online bullying/taunting. Many times, it’s rich, young, worthless kids or those exposed to a harsh life that do the taunting and they don’t realize that their bullying actions could lead to other troubled youth making devastating choices. At best case scenario, it will only make people leave the game. Taunting minimally is fine but providing bullying words and pictures of crap speaks volumes to me about the guys creating this content.
Still floors me to see this trash as part of a series I love.
