Come to think of it, it was hard even with talking to people. Nothing more frustrating than almost being done with a challenge and someone quits.

I'm not a developer but I don't understand why every game doesn't have the same set up. Players should be able to be muted individually or en masse during the game.

On the reverse side, when I sometimes would have a female character on games like PSO, I would get all sorts of cool free crap!

That's true, on some games especially the old MMORPGs if you were new and wanted help from people? Start a female char.

There was a glitch where players would ask everyone to give them bad rep for "offensive gamertag" and Microsoft would "ban" their names, giving them option to change them. This way, those players saved 800 Microsoft points. That was modified last year I think.

Other than that, I don't think bad rep affects anything.



Now we compare racist and sexist insults to freedom of speech?

No, I'd rather not get the government or big brother involved in regulating the world online gaming.
