Something I noticed recently while briefly playing GTA V online was that people seem to be able to think of infinite ways to unfairly troll other players. I know the game itself is geared up for player versus player battles, but I'm talking about ways that the game isn't even designed.

Some examples I saw in a short space of time: - Trapping people in shops by parking vehicles next to the door so they have to leave the game, re-enter or quit. - Going around purposely damaging vehicles (tyres) so that people doing jobs have no getaway. - Standing outside common spawn areas and just killing folk as soon as they arrive.

Perhaps using GTA as an example isn't great but it did make me wonder for a moment - does anyone actually just want to play the game in the way it was intended?

To answer your question: almost certainly. However, they are outwitted and therefore put-off doing so as it is near impossible due to the unfair proportion of trolls playing the game.
