<![CDATA[Toxic players]]>Just leaving my experience about toxic players in FAF, I'd say in the majority of multiplayer match I've done I'm encountering them. Yes I'm often a noob, especially when I play one of these weird custom maps which you play quite differently from a normal game. So I make noob mistakes, or really dumb things. That doesn't justify being pinned with a "retard", "delete the game please" or other creative insults I can't remember. It's just a game, I'm not sure why those people think they have a right or a duty to be sure to win by being paired with good players on lobby where people from random levels are gathered. Not sure what can be done, but that was just a testimony to say that in 2026 that is still not ok / not cool.

That said, it's not something we accept and we strictly moderate this behaviour. As Magge said, please report players when you experience toxicity. We take the reports seriously and will handle the matter.

Please make use of the report system, or report 'em via FAF Client.

I think these are people deprived of life's joys, whose pleasure comes from asserting themselves by winning a match. As someone who constantly hosts modded games, I frequently encounter insults, baseless criticism, and unreasonable behavior. I must admit, though, that on rare occasions I do find myself baffled by a player's extremely poor performance, and I might write something unpleasant or express my bewilderment in the chat. However, I mean nothing personal against the individual, so I advise you not to take it seriously or get offended 🙂
