Evil Dead's jimmies are eternal....

1. Why should anyone have to leave because of some moron who can't control themselves, if anything they should leave.

I could care less what someone chooses to do, but unless it's your party or you are playing something like ME3 you can't kick people out of the game. The point of the article was about obnoxious people online supposedly ruining this guys online experience. That's the old day of the net. You have choices now..simply make them.

2. An example would be if this player has at least 10 people who have muted him/her you might be able to set that number as a guideline where it can mute anyone above 10 automatically.

I don't agree there. they have rep statuses that will let you know about people. But if I'm playing a game where I may need this guy I could care less what he did prior to me playing with him. But that's just me...on the other hand you may be onto something for people who would want something like that.

3. Party Chat is cool but it also comes at a huge expense and that is virtually blocking others off. This creates a barrier and misses the whole point of playing with everyone

This is the biggest fallacy about Party Chat. In fact it is always the glaring reason you know that people either don't have a 360 or they never used Party Chat. It comes at ZERO expense to the game because in the games where you need to hear each other you simply change the audio on the fly to the GAME's audio and go back to Party chat when you want to. People who never use it assume that you are playing the same game. It is far from the truth. I could be in Elder Scrolls and you could be in Battlefield 3 and we'd still be able to talk.Which is why they make it easy to switch between the different audio. When it is amazing is when you and your friends family or friends are on the same team. You simply could care less about about the stuff the author of the fan blog is talking about.

'XBOX Live also did a very poor job at making classes. Most people play in the same class and there is nothing stopping you from being in any class.'

What are you talking about? Being in the same class?? Are you talking about game specific? Whine to the develooper of that game..People playing in the same class in some game has literally nothing to do with Xbox Live. If your talking about something else please use an example of where its done better.

Evil

1. You should care because you are suggesting to leave the room if there are idiots in it. Again the paying customer is being forced to adapt to them, not the other way around. I see no reason why good people should have to leave a room because of a few bad apples. I have played many games where morons are so persistent on being an idiot that the only recourse is to leave or somehow boot them. Again better tools need to be available and more accountability for those who shouldn't be there.

2. More options never hurts.

3. I have used party chat and I too like it in certain instances. It's also why I like Live is because it can be utilized from game to game in its own dedicated voice channel. The point is many use this instead in team based games and unless they choose to open up the channel they will be in their own world. I find too many now use party chat and it has come at the expense of open dialogue.

4. I am talking about classes within XBOX Live when you set yourself up. Most are recreational. They have Pro and Family. The point is it does a poor job because most just use recreational. The racists/foul-mouthed and too serious gamers should be in a different class but it is up to the Live member to choose. I say Live members should have better experiences by having the ability to dictate the type of gamers we want to play with without having to add people to our friends list all the time. Is there really anything wrong with having a 18+ club for example? Or a casual/friendly group that is actually that?

True, true. I would gladly listen to a bitching 10 year old than somebodies terrible music. It's never any good music.

DING DING DING..MUSIC is the WORST...

It comes of like crazy uneven static and depending on how loud your headset is it sometimes pops in your ear

My latest hate for multiplayer is games like ME3 where you need EVERYBODY to approve before the match starts. Which is cool because you can buy new stuff..upgrae etc..

But it sucks when you have that one player that takes FOREVER..
