Life will always keep on throwing villains at us, but at least give us some new crap to hate on, eh, life? Luckily, we have gamers. Gamers like the following ones, who ditch the same tired-ass online toxic behavior—to instead go with more original but still ultra-high levels of evil.

生活经常会让我们遇到一些坏人， 但至少会给我们一些新的玩意儿来恨，呃，生活？幸运的是我们有游戏玩家。像下面要讲的这些，他们抛弃了低级在线有毒行为，转而去采用了更原始但却依然高水平的邪恶行为。

5 New World Players Take Every Chance To Steal Land

新世界玩家运用一切机会偷窃土地

New World is the huge multiplayer game from Amazon, with a sky-high player base and an even higher number of absurd game-breaking bugs. Like the title indicates, the game is all about ravaging and conquering the new world ... sorry, we mean "settling" the new world. And this opened the game to the most thematic of exploits.

新世界是一款来自亚马逊的大型多角色游戏，有着庞大的玩家基数，还有比这数量还多的荒谬的游戏漏洞。就像标题中指出的，这款游戏就是一款关于侵略和征服新世界的游戏。，，抱歉，我们的意思是说“创建”新世界。而这将这款游戏开启到了占领这一最重要的主题上。

Right before a turf war, players will file reports complaining about their opponents. Thanks to these reports, Amazon bans the opponents, preventing them for participating in the battle. The land they owned? It's now ripe for the taking.

就在一场地盘战之前，玩家将举报他们的敌手。多亏了这些举报，亚马逊封禁了他们的对手，禁止他们参与战斗。他们所拥有的地盘？可以一波带走了。

Many players have complained about inexplicable bans, to which the company replied that the victims were probably getting removed for a fair reason. Hey, Amazon, you know who else said that? Every colonizing power in history, you MONSTERS.

许多玩家都在抱怨莫名其妙的封禁，对此该公司回复说对受害者的封禁是出于公平游戏的原因。嘿，亚马逊，你知道还有谁这么说吗？历史上的每一个殖民势力，你这个禽兽。

Bans are actually a great tool for empowering cheaters. Here's another example of that:

封禁确实是一个赐予作弊狗的强力的道具，这里还有一个例子：

4 Players Use Bots To Ban Innocent CS:GO Players

玩家使用机器人来封禁无辜的CS：GO玩家

Remember when hackers just made use of evil programs to win games? There was a time when cheats allowed naughty players to never miss a headshot, see through walls, or simply have hilariously long-reaching arms. Nowadays, cheaters are not only bypassing anti-cheat systems, but straight-up turning them against 'roidless players.

还记得黑客利用外挂来赢游戏吗？有一段时间，外挂可以让淘气的玩家枪枪爆头，看穿墙，或者只是有一条可笑的长可及远的手臂。现如今，作弊玩家不仅绕过了反作弊机制，而且直接将其矛头指向了那些老实的玩家。

Valve came up a system for players to review matches, to retroactively catch cheaters and remove them from ranked play. This system is called Overwatch (not to be confused with the video game of the same name, the one that spawns all that porn). It worked pretty well with Valve's automated anti-cheating software, VAC. But it was still flawed, and skilled cheaters could bypass the system due to benefit-of-the-doubtitis.

Valve创造了一套可以让玩家回顾游戏的机制，来回溯式地找到作弊玩家并把他们踢出房间。这套机制被称为Overwatch（不要同同名游戏相混淆，这游戏生产了许多色情内容）。在Valve的自动反作弊软件VAC的帮助下运行得非常好。但是还是有漏洞，多亏了多疑的好处，熟练的作弊玩家可以绕过该系统，

Sometimes, though, Valve receives a whole lot of reports about a player, too many to ignore, and so they ban them. Problem is, maybe those reports are coming from cheaters themselves, who've unleashed an army of robots to mass-report the innocent player. They wait till their opponent does something perfectly innocent that might be misinterpreted as questionable (like stepping away from the keyboard for a minute), then send a massive number of complaints against them.

一些时候，虽然Valve收到了大量的对于一个玩家的举报，但太多了而无法忽略，就直接封禁。问题在于，也许这些举报来自于作弊玩家自己呢，他们释放出机器人大军来大规模举报无辜玩家。他们等待到他们的对手做出的无辜举动看起来像是可疑举动的时候（就像离开电脑前一分钟），就发送大量举报来坑他们。

For a while there, no one was safe, from random players to prolific ones. Luckily, Valve states those days are over. Well, that's relief. Now we just have to wait for the next massive security flaw to screw things up for everyone.

有那么一段时间，从轻度玩家到重度玩家全都人人自危。幸运的是，valve称这样的日子已经过去了。真是让人松了一口气，现在我们只需要等待下一下大型安全漏洞的出现来折磨玩家了。

3 Making Up A Disability Ban In Path Of Exile

在流放之路中创造了一个残障封禁

Even when not getting exploited by vile players, automated bans can fail catastrophically and hit the wrong people. There may be perfectly reasonable explanations behind those unusual playstyles that an algorithm flags as problematic. For example, maybe the player's not cheating—maybe they're disabled.

即使有时没有作弊狗搞破坏，自动的封号机制同样同灾难性地失败并且打击错人。有着算法标识程序出错这一完美借口来解释这些不正常的玩家事件。举例来说，也许玩家没有作弊，而是残障人士。

This past April, a user calling himself "Poe Legal" told the world he'd got banned from Path Of Exile. His offense? He'd been using macros to simulate keystrokes. But he wasn't doing that so he could hit keys faster than the game normally allows. He did it because he was physically unable to hit keys the regular way. Thanks to a workplace accident, he'd lost all the fingers on one hand, and a few other fingers on the other.

今年四月，一位自称是Poe Legal的玩家告诉全世界他被流放之路封禁了。他的控诉？他使用宏来模拟击键。但他没有这样做来让自己击键更快。他能做到是因为他生理上的残障使他无法以常规方式击键。这是因为一场工作事故，他失去了他的一只手上的所有手指，和另一只手上的几根手指。

Wow, that's a really sad story. It's also not true. Turned out the forum user in question was neither disabled nor banned.

哇，真是一个悲伤的故事。但同样并不真实，原来这位发帖的玩家并没有残障或者被封禁。

What a dick. Probably, he wanted to stir up extra anger toward the Path of Exile crew for unknown reasons, but the video game company isn't the one who'll take the biggest hit from this. It'll be the next person who complains about getting wrongly banned, only to have everyone say, "Haha, likely story. You're probably not really disabled at all!"

真是个混蛋。大概，他是出于一些未知原因想要煽动起玩家对于流放之路的怒火，但是这家游戏公司并不是受到最大损害的那个。最大的是接下来要讲的一位玩家， 他抱怨自己受到了错误的封禁却只换来了人们的“哈哈，相同的故事，你根本没有残疾。”

2 A Hacker Ruins A Glorious Pokémon Record

一位黑客毁了光荣的宝可梦的记录

Remember 2016? It's the year we used to call “the crazy one” before all the consecutively worse ones we've had since? That distant year blessed us with a short period that might very well have been the last breath of happiness in the history of Western civilization. We call it the time of Pokémon Go. A dumb and fun little app got many people out of their homes so they could catch Pokémon and have fun. Yes, we'd really like to believe people used to do this and that these aren't just memory implants.

还记得2016年吗？在我们后经历的一系列更糟糕的年份之前我们称之为最糟糕的一年？这遥远的一年带给了我们可能是西方文明历史中最后的快乐了。史称这一年为去吧宝可梦。一个傻乐傻乐的小型app使得许多人离开屋子到外成来捕获宝可梦从中获得快乐。是的，我们愿意相信人们曾经这么做，而且不是记忆植入。

Since not long after the release of Pokémon Go, and up until recently, a player named BootsMade4Walking had held a Pokémon gym for the absolute record time of 1,331 days. Such a totally arbitrary number of days naturally called for a celebration, which got Mr. Boots to announce it online. That was a mistake—his last one as a gym leader—because as soon as he got to start the celebration, his gym's location became known to the internet, and it took no longer than a few minutes for a cheater to pull the rug from underneath his feet and steal the gym for himself.

自从去吧宝可梦发行以来，直到如今，一名叫作BootsMade4Walking 的玩家举开了一个宝可梦的房间冲击到了1331天的绝对记录。如此霸道的天数自然需要庆祝，于是Boots先生在网上宣布了。这犯一个错误——他最后作为房间的房主——因为他一旦开始庆祝那么他房间的位置就将全网公布，用不了多久作弊玩家就从他手中偷走了他的房间。

What makes it even sadder is that Boots deliberately chose a gym in an impressively remote location, but that didn't matter. Cheaters are literally omnipresent, meaning that they can gain access to any gym from the comfort of their Dorito-stained couch.

这事情中更令人伤心的是，Boots特意选了一个偏远无人知的位置的房间，但毫无作用。作弊者无处不在，这意味着他们可以从他们舒适的沙发上获得任何活动的权限。

1 A Glitch Made The Rainbow 6 Siege Community Drop Their Collective Mask

一个小错误使得彩虹6围城的玩家群体放下了他们的假面具

Rainbow 6 Siege has various different characters, One of the best-designed is “Doc," who plays the traditional role of a healer in the made-for-the-game profession of “medical doctor." Doc's abilities include shooting bullets at teammates that cure them from other bullets. This powerful healer was even more powerful at some point when he featured such a powerhouse of a glitch that nearly broke the game.

彩虹6围城有着许多角色，其中设计最好的是Doc，是一个扮演了专为游戏设计的药剂师的传统治疗角色。Doc的能力包括朝着队友射出子弹来治愈其它子弹造成的伤害。这个强力的治疗角色在有的情况下甚至更强大，他有一个能打破游戏平衡的强力bug。

This glitch let medics constantly churn out medic juice, which let teams constantly regenerate their health. The sweet sweet doc juice was so game-changing that it had entire teams pressuring players to pick the Doc, then bullying their Docs to abuse the glitch. Docs who didn't abandon their Hippocratic oath would get euthanized by their own teammates.

这个bug使得医生角色不断生产出回复果汁，使得整个队伍不停地获得回复效果。甜蜜的Doc果汁如要甜蜜以致于整个队伍都得选择Doc角色，然后逼他们的Doc角色不断使用这个效果，不放弃希波克拉底誓言的Doc就这样被压榨致死。

This glitch created an unintentionally great social experiment, one that revealed an ugly truth about the game's community. Usually, most players hate cheaters—even those who are on their teams. But this was different. Whether it was because the ones bullying the Docs didn't see it as “breaking the game," or because real-life doctors are pretty overpowered as well, this glitch was enough to reveal that most players care more about easily achieving a higher rank than they care about playing better. Team spirit is a suit sewn using very cheap fabric. Or something to that effect.

这个bug创造了一个无意中的伟大社会实验，揭露了丑陋的游戏社会中的真相。通常大多数玩家讨厌作弊玩家，即使这些作弊玩家身处于他们一方的队伍，。但这不同，要么是这些压榨Doc的人不觉得破坏了游戏平衡，要么是因为现实中的医生也同样很强大，这个bug足够揭示出大多数无家关心升级多过关心游戏体现。团队精神不过是一套便宜面料缝合的西装，或者是差不多类似的东西。
