How to Deal with Toxicity in Gaming: Reporting Options

-

I’m really frustrated because I’ve been subjected to some serious toxicity while gaming. Someone kept telling me to hang myself due to my in-game name, which is completely unacceptable. I have some screenshots for proof, but I’m not confident that reporting will lead to any action from Bungie. I even have trouble typing out their name since it’s in Asian characters. What should I do next? I did manage to send a report through my game history, but I want to know if there’s anything more I can do.

Honestly, just report it in-game and move on. You can’t let toxic players ruin your gaming experience. People can be jerks, but the best thing to do is to take screenshots and report them once you can. Don’t let it get to you!

I know it might feel like Bungie won’t take action, but you should inspect that player’s profile and then report them if it’s serious. It’s a bit too easy to vent about it here instead of following through with a proper report. Trust me, it does help in the long run!

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! I’ll check their profile and submit a report.

You definitely need to report that player if you haven’t already. It’s messed up that people act like this online. Unfortunately, online gaming can bring out the worst in people, and there isn’t a superhero to fix everyone’s problems for them. Just report, block, and keep playing without letting it bother you!
