One of the game's early issues, as is so often the case with multiplayer games, was griefing. Players freely had the ability to betray their teammates and start attacking them, even killing them, if they so wished.

This became such a pervasive activity among trolls that, amid fan complaints, Illfonic eventually saw no other choice but to remove team-killing from public matches, with the patch notes hilariously declaring that we "can't have nice things."

Despite the August 2017 patch stamping out most team-killing, it did still allow players to murder their teammates by running them over with a car, which while more challenging remains a persistent griefing practise to this very day.
