 Just stop it,I for one do no wish any game to kill WoW and WoW to ever die. Why do you ask ?

Simple,WoW attracts kiddies,immature old guys and keeps them addicted,therefore we wont have to put up with them in our MMOGs.

And coming here and trolling really shows how mature EvE players are.

I for one hope EvE does not die.. we need a place for the boring people to play... I hope they never come to WoW.. Imaging EvE players camping the mining nodes and Auction houses in WoW. (cus that 99% of EvE game play)

For the Horde!

Most pilots in EVE are alt accounts doing the tedious mining / courier work or just sitting docked while skilling up, inflating the concurrent user numbers as well.  No wonder people think EVE is more mature, with all of those alt accounts being so silent.  Must seem like a library.

But when you meet someone who is actually alive, do things really appear more mature? Jita isn't really a very mature, certainly no better than Barrens chat.  Some alliances are idiots, a lot of the Merc corps for example.  Don't even get me started on Goons... and have you EVE players even read the profiles of pirates in EVE?  

So EVE has more than it's share of "kiddies" for you pretentious types to pretend to feel superior over, without having to resort to flaming the millions playing WoW.  In space, noone can hear Chuck Norris jokes, because everyones on an alt account.

That being said, EVE online has very nice and friendly help channels.  You can find nice and friendly people in WoW though, you just need to join a decent guild - like EVE, you need a decent corp to really experience that game.

I find EVE to be no more mature than WoW, and I play both.  People are people.  Spaceships and lasers are not more mature than swords and sorcery.

Hey,  I'm an immature old guy and I don't play WOW.  (OK, I used to, and it was a fun game)

I do however play EVE, and in addition to myself I see quite a bit of immaturity and it doesn't come from the Goonswarm. (who are goofs to be sure, but fun goofs)

Every game has its jerks and we all learn to put them on ignore.  Though in EVE if you're lucky you sometimes get to kill them, unlike WOW and other games.  But that's the only real difference.

Back to the original topic, don't worry about WOW dying, won't happen in any of our lifetimes :)

or.... you could just not read the forums that bash wow.

 

I on the other hand don't mind them, most of the arguements are very one sided and/or inaccurate and the other forum members set them straight, thus educating them

 

Which is what forums are for

Go check out the WoW forums for PvE servers.  Plenty of KoS (Kill on sight) lists.  I even have a few personal favorites myself.

WoW will die like every bloody product in this world but due to its success it shall take some time, it's in the maturity stage but the numbers remind me of the quote, "The bigger they are, the harder they fought"
