Everyday on these forums, and many others across the interwebs...
I see the exact same posts, nearly the exact same texts.
People tout their hatred of WoW as if it is some great badge of honor. That they are too "good" to be playing WoW, or that their 15 dollars a month is more important and precious to waste playing WoW.
It's like some kind of damn elitest club.
"Well, my opinion should be taken more seriously because *I* don't play WoW."
"I am well above and beyond the maturity and cranial capacity required to play this mindless children's game."
Get the f*ck over yourselves people.
Not liking WoW does not a badass make. You are not unique or special for proudly stating that you don't play the most popular and successful MMO on the market today.
Are you expecting a cookie? Maybe a virtual pat on the back?
People like to say that they are more "hardcore" or "l337" because they play more "complex" or "adult" games like AoC, EVE, or the biggest "OMG I'M SO COOL" game ever, Darkfall.
No one gives a sh!t.
I swear from now on everytime I see this kind of crap I'm going to call you out on it, and I'm going to petition MMORPG.com to add an option to their "Report a Post" feature to include a "Stupidity" button.
BAH!
Need beer...
Only reason people say it because its too darn hard for them to play and get lvl 70 !
Fri May 23 2008 12:28PMIs that what things have come to? People bragging about not playing a game? Don't worry, not everyone does that. I don't play WoW. But it's not because I think I'm "too good" for it or anything. I don't play it for 2 simple reasons. 1) I don't like fantasy 2) I have a regular job which leaves me time for only one MMORPG and that's CoX. Neither reason has anything to do with WoW specifically.
I think some people get a kick out of being part of a minority. Like they've discovered something the general public doesn't really know about. If something is popular, they move away in favor of something more niche. But that's no reason to act like a snob.
Fri May 23 2008 1:00PMit's called freedon of speach, so go ahead and hit that stupidity button on yourself. this is nothing more then a whiner post in my opinion, which you are intitled to do if it so pleases you.
i played WoW after playing many other games, EQ, DAoC, etc. I got to 70 and stopped playing. for me personally, it wasn't as fun and didn't replace what i was previously playing for entertainment value. so yeah, i hate it.
with the US economy as bad as it is right now, that $15 a month does mean more then it used to.
Fri May 23 2008 1:04PMIt's not freedom of speech, it's bandwagon hopping.
Alverant is right, people like to think they are some minority that is "in the know" and because of this are better or "more informed" then others.
So yeah, no reason to act like a snob.
I'm not talking about people who honestly just don't like WoW but have the common sense to not act like a dick about it and keep their mouths shut. I'm talking specifically about those who seem to think it's "cool" to bash on the "big guy" because they are "better" or "more advanced" whatever...
Fri May 23 2008 1:18PMI don't hate WoW itself, I hate the developers since they can't seem to figure out a way to balance the game.
