I had some warma/horde games at a local store (during the warma/horde day) and I learned that the local 40k players are the worst community ever.
>Use over 70% of the tables to play or to wait for someone else to play (on a day they have no preference). >Screaming obnoxious stuffs like "WAGH" or "FOR THE EMPRAH!", distracting everyone else. >Can't talk about anything that is not 40k related. Bonus Point. >Dog-collar cat-ears furry or obnoxious metal dude bro as common players.
So user, which ones are the worst communities you have ever faced? I have played with KoW, 9th, AoS, Warma/Hordes and Infinity people, but this experiense shows me that the 40k, at least in here, is the undefeated champion of obnoxious.

Libelous slander.

Live in a city, so most communities can fuck off to their own hobby-specific stores, but YGO.
YGO players are often rude and disruptive in my experience.

40k is bad. It has more brats who shit the place up by being bratty than any other wargame. It also has more tryhard metaller nerds who think they're badass because they got their ear pierced five times and have a totes le badass Khorne symbol tattoo. It has more wannabe Mr Popular bandwagoneers who just go with the biggest crowd. Even the grognards are shit now too, since 40k has been around long enough that faggots who started with 4th edition think they're true grog. Then you get the smug "Oh, I only like it for the models and lore..." types who genuinely think 40k's shitty models and lore are great, and consider themselves a cut above the game-playing plebians - I can hardly keep a straight face when I'm talking to these fucks. All of them constantly shit out 40k memes - round here it's more "Blood for the Blood God!!! XDDD" and "Purge the Heretic!!! XDDDD".
Still not as bad as mtg. Magic's fanbase has every cringey nerd stereotype in abundance, all contained within a BO stench zone, and the worst part is the sheer amount of bad sportsmanship. Say what you like about 40k players, and I certainly have, but their sportsmanship is roughly average. Mtg's is abysmal, like playing multiplayer with randos from /v/.

The more popular a game the more shitty it's players are usually. Not through any fault of the game, but it's natural. To be a member of the tight knit ultra niche playerbase you have to be a likable guy because all four other dudes who play the game in your city have to like you. Compound this with minor games usually having their genesis in a select member of the community introducing them to their close friends, and you compound the issue. To be a member of the the MTG community you just need cards, because a never ending supply of players exists. This forces the undesirables into the dominant game, 40k, mtg, and pathfinder, and they congregate there and push the likable people towards other games. Note this effect only occurs when there is a large overall Veeky Forums community in your city because if the community it tiny it can't support proper sub communities. This isn't saying that all people who play popular games are awful, I play most of them myself, it's just that most awful people play popular games.

40k hands down. Loud, obnoxious neckbeards. Many of them also have uneducated right-wing opinions.

The problem was that 40k community is half of what the warma community is in here. And we had 12 dudes waiting in line to get a table to play on the warma/horde day because 40k players were using almost everything.
BTW MTG and YGO are also shit, but at least I can get a laugh at YGO players; today I could see one dude with a FFXIV shirt looking at his cards, talking to himself and listening the sound track of smash bros melee.
Just wanna know what it is like in other stores.

Horseshit. You could just as easily argue that when players for obscure Game A are scarce, people have to suck it up and play whoever is available. Meanwhile in super popular Game B, because there are so many players you can just ignore the shitlords and still be certain to get regular games.
