I feel the same way. There are just some unspoken rules in some games that you need to follow in order to play it the "right way"(I put that in quotes because it's a fairly subjective notion). Which brings me to my main point: Some people misunderstand what the "right way" to play the game is.

An example that's close to me is gear-twinks in Dark Souls. During the early-to-middle of the game's life, people called gear-twinks would go through the game normally, make a new character and then perform a glitch on that character to get the weapons from their normal character into the hands of their new ones. They would then use the combination of their low level and their high-level equipment to invade and inevitably destroy other low level players. Some people could do this "legit" with a single player by doing a low level run, but it's the same affect. Anyway, these gear-twinks would "HILARIOUSLY" send the person they mercilessly murdered a "Welcome to Dark Souls" message, giving new people the impression that Dark Souls was, indeed, meant to be an unfair game. This royally pissed off Soul veterans like me, who played the games for their challenging but FAIR gameplay.

This breeded more gear-twinks out of the victims of it, or as Derpestein eloquently put it, breeded more assholes. This spread the fore-mentioned misconception even further, and word gets out, so less and less people wanted to play the game because other people said it was unfair. This shit was actually hurting the game, a game many people love to (un)death. So, what a lot of people did, was use the methods of the gear-twinks against them. We all used the glitch or went through the game at a low soul level, and then offered ourselves up as summons to new players. Since more often than not, we were more skilled than the malicious party, we utterly destroyed them. We kept at this until it all died down, and new people could play the game as it was actually supposed to be played. Nevermind some of the gear-twinks, in a last ditch effort to defend their actions, said that FromSoft encouraged griefing, which they most certainly did not. Its actually kind of funny how desperate these people got, it's as if ruining other people's fun is the only thing in their life that has meaning.

Just to think, that whole shitstorm was caused by certain people who were assholes just to be assholes, and sacrificed proper play in exchange for the tools needed to be assholes effectively.
