You guys know the ones. The teams that are always elitists, that get pissed off every time you die, the ones who berate you for playing a Warlock, and especially those who implement a strategy completely different than what you're used to and they expect you to be able to get it down first try.
Don't tell me I'm the only one that's been there? I play hardcore, don't get me wrong, but when it gets to the point where name-calling and yelling and screaming happens, that's not motivation. That's just downright abuse.
Edit: It sucks to know so many people can relate to this bullshit, but good to know there are others out there who are just as sick of it as I am. :)

I know a dude like that. My normal group brought two new people along for the hard raid. One guy is great (person and player). His friend however is one raging ape. When he dies there's always excuses. When one of us dies he goes absolutely ham on them. People try to talk to him as little as possible. It causes so much tension and uneasiness in the fireteam that it's not fun. We'll be at it for hours. He'll end up rage quitting. We get someone new in and we get it in 3 goes. This has happened twice now. I'm removing myself from the equation even though the ragers friend is one of the best players I've met.
