It's not that. What gets me is some people like to just use that character only because you're using them. They don't know one thing about the character or even use them so they end up just embarrassing themselves. :/
Same thing happens to me a lot on XBL and PSN when I make a public lobby or enter one. Some have even tried to challenge me to a FT5 online lol. I mean, I get it, and it's kind of flattering. But it's annoying at the same time when people really think they can one up me with my own character and you can't even do a quart of what I'm doing.
