    Yeah, I'd try and ignore them as much as possible; they thirst for attention so you must deny them that as much as possible. Having a chat input command that blocks any messages between you and the other player (and tells them so) would help to make finishing a game with someone miserable a lot more tolerable as well.

    You can block people like that in game and you'll avoid running into them again.

    Well you can definitely write to an admin here, in the current state of things, no there is no report button but admins have the power to make things better.

    This is indeed unacceptable.

    and it was indeed the player. He is registered on Pastats and the game was on his name.

    You're always going to run into those guys, it's pretty much an accepted downside to online gaming.
    I just brush it off mostly, most of those people are either 12 year old's or 4chan/reddit users, no reason to get offended by what those jackoffs say.

    I've not seen a single bad mouthed player in my time on PA. I think you just got unlucky!

    Just look at Idra. Think about it, spending all that time on something and not geting better.
    Must be mentaly hard. Not even speaking about all the other people slamping him in the face.
    But it`s never fun that`s for sure.

    Probably someone that is not liking all of top guys playing the 1v1 auto matcher. I get ripped on alot by mid level players because I'm a "tryhard". Truth is. I just love this game and happen to have 10 years RTS behind me

    I never mind trolls until they're better than I am :D

    One of my greatest joys in planetside is getting accused of being a hacker when I pull off a crazy close range headshot or gun down a whole squad from behind.

    Sarcastically invalidating other people's rage is funny.

    Here's something oyu can do when you meet those kind of players:

    1. If you are in control of the lobby, kick them. repeatedly. As many time as it takes. If you are not the lobby admin, you can always leave.
    2. If this is the only game you can join now, Ignore them, even if they are on your team. Don't play shared armies if you can help it. Remember that even if they seek your cooperation you are playing alone. People like this will never help you, so help them only if it suits your strategy.
    3. Counter troll. It can be very amusing.

    Normally I would agree, did this in Supreme Commander 2... there are even quite a few cheaters there... beat them all, did it change anything? Not in the long run... now it is just annoying and boring to see those people online.

    There was once a player who kept making fun of me and constantly was saying he himself was smarter and all, I played three separate matches with him and I overkilled him everytime to put him in his place then I never saw him again.
