The phrase “trolling” often conjures a bad image inside the head of gamers. And no we’re not talking about the long-haired, glitter-loving, singing dolls voiced by Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick. We’re talking gaming trolls. These are the players who not only don’t like playing by the rules, but they enjoy breaking them, causing chaos, and turning a game on its head. Trolls have been around since the inception of gaming. Before online gaming was around, arcade trolls could jam quarter machines, mess up buttons, or do anything to distract you from that intense game of Pac-Man. As the online community expanded, a small corner of trolls quickly manifested and grew into portions of the gaming world.
The only way to help avoid and keep trolls from ruining your gaming experience is by learning about them. Much like studying animals in the wild, trolls have habits and consistencies that make it a little easier avoid becoming their next victim. Whether you’re playing MMO games like Minecraft, or FPS games like Halo Reach, these tips and facts can help you get through the games without any huge impacts from the trolls. Not only will you learn about trolls, but you can learn how to eliminate them from some of your favorite games. And if you’re a troll watching this… we’re on to you.
