Most shrug it off and try again, but some trolls take the game so seriously that they feel they must punish their rivals in real life. Anger can also arise by viewing video game related content.
Gamers streaming their video game experiences online through services like Twitch or Beam also face trolls. These trolls will harass players, hoping that their fun is ruined. On top of that, people who write about video games have also been subjected to harassment from trolls.
Many trolls escape by creating new accounts or avoiding punishment through loopholes, and companies admit it is impossible to catch them all. However, there are a few trolls who attempted to ruin the community for others and received the punishment they deserved. Overwatch is a competitive action game. Gameplay can get heated between players and unkind words are then exchanged.
Text chat isn't available on consoles, but currently open to PC players. Blizzard received several complaints on their forum regarding the phrase "gg ez" or "good game, easy win," which is said after a match is over. Some gamers found that phrase insulting towards less skilled players. Blizzard implemented new filters on their Overwatch test server to trolls who decide to insult others.
Typing "gg ez" will be filtered in several different ways, which are more insulting to the person typing them. That was fun. Good playing! Huzzah comrades! The Division is largely player-versus-environment until you enter the Dark Zone. This region of the game is a player-versus-player experience where you fight for loot and you will also face more challenging AI enemies.
Most times, any player you encounter is hostile unless you are in a group. Naturally, since the Dark Zone is a hostile environment, it is home to several trolls. Trolls can make players go Rogue by running in front of them just before they shoot an NPC. Rogue status will put a bounty on your head and other players will receive rewards for killing you. Dying as a Rogue also brings you harsh penalties.
Trolls tried to pull this on YouTuber Novex. Though he indicated he was friendly, they assumed he was an easy target. He was able to avoid shooting them and their attempts to kill him. The trolls grew frustrated with him and attacked. Novex was then able to take down the group of trolls.
Gamers aren't the only victims of trolling and harassment from other players, as some trolls take it to the developers themselves. Stephen Cebula from California threatened fellow Heroes of the Storm players and employees of Blizzard. Heroes of the Storm is an MMORPG with an open area where players can duel each other and the game has a chat system for players to communicate with each other. At first, Cebula was only trolling other players.
Victims of hiss harassment contacted Blizzard with screenshots of the offensive messages. The harassment ranged from threatening terrorist attacks to hurting the children of his opponents. Before banning him from the game, Blizzard removed Cebula's chat privileges. Angered by this punishment, he sent Blizzard message threatening to attack employees at their headquarters.
Blizzard reported him to the FBI and he was taken into custody a week later. Jun alludes to is swiftly becoming more understood as gamers learn that feeding the troll is never a good idea. Game developers, while hindered by toxicity as a whole, have been quick to implement the necessary systems to stop trolls from acting out against others.

I feel that this properly depicts a majority of the gaming community, especially the more competitive part of the community. If I am being honest there have been many times where I have fed the trolls out of anger.
This never helps. It simply keeps the negativity going and eventually you border on trolling the troll. Your alliance, our community, we are all stronger together. Working together against toxic behavior and creating a space that is safe is important.
When we start turning on each other the trolls have won. Ultimately, the goal of the person trolling is to bait you. Do not allow this! As soon as you become angry and upset they win. Some of the best defenses I have seen against trolls are people who have the ability to remain calm and use logic. If the troll cannot anger you and you have a response that is logical and disproves what they say every time, then your troll will quickly lose steam.
It is hard to troll when you are not being successful in baiting people and the logic thrown back at you takes the power out of your words. Humor is a great weapon in many situations. A note on this: do not let your humor resort to the level of trolling. Trolling happens everywhere, not just mobile games. Many people have been able to use humor effectively to respond to trolls. Check out this tweet from JK Rowling, I absolutely love her response. At the end of the day, you need to remember that Mobile Strike is a game.
If you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong. Trolls can quickly suck the joy away, do not let them. If we do not band together as a community to discourage toxic behavior then the trolls win.
