Toxing gaming as defined by that video:

1. Deliberate damage and destruction to allied vehicle
2. AFKing and providing no support to allies
3. Deserting from combat before they are destroyed
4. Rigging battles

That was good for a laugh thank you. I think a lot of people don't realize how unique EVE is, and how forward thinking CCP is for giving its players a sandbox for both heroes and villains.

to be honest, in games where the balance of the match relies on equal numbers on both sides, a team saboteur is a big deterrent and reduces the chances of winning with no real gain for the saboteur

of course those are games, where you are not choosing who you are teamed with

even so calling it toxic is an exaggeration, the trend of the modern days

but those rules do not apply for MMOs where the teams are not predetermined (well in WoW they are, which is one of the worst parts of it's PVP side, imo) and where you can exclude from your team anyone who works against it

I don't know about forward thinking. Maybe a good place to keep some nutter gamers in.

"toxicity" in gaming where you get matched with random allies has gotten so bad that when you try to say anything to anyone gets you reported. "Dude, we can still win, but we need to fight together as a team" in a moba now constitutes verbal abuse.
