When i am playing i like to have some fun and make new friends, i guess there a few people who maybe don't like talking, or perhaps when they hear another accent, they just keep talking to their friends and say nothing, because they may not understand my scottish accent, and think that i am talking to fast !!!.
Alot of Americans tend to have some difficulty with "faster" languages. Being Australian, we usually talk pretty fast and use alot of slang. (We can also have a full conversation with only swear words )
The American people I go online with know how I talk because they've gotten used to it, but they do get confused occasionally.

If anything, I'd say it's the Accent. I do have a bit of trouble with understanding Scottish people some times, but that's just me.
