I hear ya on this one. Shuffling gone awry, opponents with enough luck that even some anime fights look tame in comparison, endless streams of morons...The last one is what always gets me though. I want to fight somebody who knows what they're doing so I can actually see if my deck works right. It gets to the point that I usually fight people who misplay so badly I stop them mid move, ask them if they really want to do that, and hint at them to maybe look at the cards again. They usually decide yes, so I then explain the consequences. Nine times outs of ten they usually want to take back the move after that.

Shining example: Testing Demongodol.dek after Gordric Jolt was uploaded, and I went against a guy running Death Rulers. I make the opening play of Origin Godol > Jolt, and plan to sit on it. To the guys credit, he knew about attack redirection and the CA ability, telling me he knew exactlyy what he was doing and to focus on defending when he declared a Link. So I then informed him he didn't take the +2/+2 Origin gave into account, resulting in his attack failing entirely and one of his monsters exploding. There was a 10 second pause, and the guy disconnected.
