I'm surprised that they're surprised about trolls. As someone who's been doing PC gaming a long time, I always assume there'll be people who just want to ruin things for everyone else. What they're attracted to is popularity, so the better you do, the more you'll have to deal with them (they tend to grow slightly superlinearly relative to overall user growth). This is basically every game or internet forum that acquires even a little popularity: there will be some (few) people who just wanna ruin everything, and I'm always surprised by how many people are surprised by this even when they're the technically literate sort. For example, some Japanese fighting game devs still try to count disconnects during a match as different from losses for someone's record. One guess as to what this encourages as far as player behavior goes.
