"more gamers thought and acted like the author of this article and most of the people posting comments, I would actually have people in my Friends list on my Playstation.
This article is one of those where you think: "Thank GOD someone feels exactly like I do." It's nice to see it. I still feel in the minority, however, in that I play games for the love of the games themselves. (And like others in the comments, have limited time to play them.) As such, I am interested in playing with like minded individuals who do things to facilitate the enjoyment of other gamers. This sort of person is ridiculously hard to find and shouldn't be.
If I'm playing COD4, for instance, I would like to actually use tactics and co-ordinate with other players, like the game designers encourage you to. If I am new to a game, I'd like someone to maybe make themselves available to answer some questions for me about how I can catch up to everyone else's level of play so I am a more useful teammate/challenging opponent. You don't need to babysit me. Just help a newbie out, that's all. If you are kicking my butt, killing me repeatedly, whatever, while I am learning the ropes of the game, there is no need to cram it down my throat, just to be an ass.
I have had a hell of a lot more fun playing Bioshock by myself than I have with Call of Duty, and that is really a shame since multiplayer has so much potential.
I agree with Joshua above; until being a jackass online has consequences- real ones that hurt- you probably won't see an end to this.
The only solution right now, in my view, is to dig around for players who feel the same way I do. So, if anyone out there on PSN wants play games for the enjoyment of games, shoot me an email- jl5571@yaho"
