The "I Bought it so I Can do Whatever I Want" excuse

Listen, let me just start this off by saying that if you buy a single player game, you absolutely have the right to do whatever you want with it. Mod it to high heaven, light it on fire and chuck it out a window, build it a little shrine and burn incense. You do you, I'm not your mother.

That said, multiplayer games - particularly teambased multiplayer games like this one - are different. The way you choose to play impacts other people, and guess what bud. They all paid to play this game too. Even the people who got it "free" through PS+ got it as a crappy attempt by Sony to justify locking basic multiplayer functionality behind a paywall. Some people may have actually paid more than you did by buying DLC and cosmetics.

So I have to ask. When your crappy actions are affecting anywhere from three to four other people who all paid money for the right to play, can you really still wave around your "Well I paid for this!" excuse and expect to be taken seriously?

Of course you're not obligated to act kindly towards other people. This is the internet, goodness knows basic decency is rarer than gold sometimes. But if you constantly dodge lobbies simply becaise you don't want to deal with *insert X generic killers are op or survivors are op issue here*, dc, body block, or otherwise troll or make others have a bad time because you're "exercising your consumer rights," don't be shocked when others call you out on it or you face consequences. Every other player also has consumer rights, and a basic $80 dollars between 4 people outweighs $20 on one person.
