What's the most pointless button you've found in a game, such as a lost connection message once you click exit.

Hitman: Blood Money start-up menu - Main Menu

Tf2
the option to delete anything

If you're referring to the delete button in your inventory, that's a discard button. You select the item then click delete.

all the buttons on the side of the battleship game
they just sit there being all paperlike

the menu in l4d2 during the game. "the more you hit esc, the deeper you go into the menu."

The "Player" Button in Blockland. You can easily go into Settings and click Avatar options and do it from there.

Maybe they won't have a clue, but it seems useless for an older player.

Maybe for people with boxes capping their inv limit?

I actually use the button if I'm in the main menu.

I don't see how it's a pointless button. And you can do it even MORE easily by pressing Player.. The only reason they have Avatar Options in Options is because no one wants to go to the main menu from the server that they're on just to change their avatar. So, it really takes slightly longer to go through options.

Exiting a server can take a while if it has lots and lots of bricks.
