Why not play multiplayer?

This is a question to those people who play the Total War games but who for whatever reason don't play it in multiplayer.
I can think of the problems with gamespy and connecting to games and bad language that has happened.
Are there any other reasons? There are a world of super players to test yourself against and to enjoy great fun with.

Let's just say: I always get beaten

"The biggest problem in playing Vampire: The Masquerade is that you'll have to interact with the kinds of people who play it."

Quoted for the truth of it.

Lacking experience and, until recently, the very possibility are additional factors.

Yes, but MTW's online community is definitely smaller than it once was. Partially due to its age, partially because of unit imbalances that were never fully rectified, and partially because a lot people play MTW with a mod--most of which are incompatible with each other in multiplayer. There are probably other factors as well, but I think the 3 I just listed are the main reasons why so few people play MTW online these days. Sad, but true.
