Just thought this would be fun to list. If you disagree, just move on to the next thread.

List you top 5 words you hate to see in MMO discussions. Please just list them (1-5 or 5-1) and refrain from going into "why" you don't like them. Their are tons of threads already dedicated to the "why" and I would like to avoid this thread turning into one.

Every last one of them is meaningless to me in the context they're normally used, so they tend to irritate me.

I agree wth this

Its used so often and almost solely to dismiss a MMO as 'something bad'

Come on guys, we've heard damn well enough how great SWG was before the NGE. It's like when your parents start telling you how they walked 5 miles up hill both ways to get to school.

 

Just for kicks and giggles, here's a list of five phrases

5. "It's still in Open Beta!"

4. "You're just a -insert chosen cuss word- carebear go back to -repeat word- WoW!!!!!1!11!"

3. "X game is going to fail because I said so."

2. "This is really the only TRUE MMORPG to come out in a long time."

1. "It's not a bug, it's an unlisted feature!"

5. Great (or any other opinionated word to how amazing a game is with no facts to back it up)

 

4. leet (uber hardcore, or any other word associated with how amazing the person posting is)

 

3. WoW clone (They're all AC2 clones so it's just wrong all around, just because you didn't join the genre until WoW doesn't mean it was the first in anything)

 

2. Hype, no the actual hype meter not the word (The hype meter is ridiculous, people ruin the experience for themselves and only help give the company initial sales by convincing people who don't know better that it's going to be awesome because they have no information about why or how it is going to be awesome. But come on it has Star Wars in it's name, it really is going to be awesome)

 

1. Innovative. THERE ARE NO INNOVATIVE MMOs IN THE WORKS. SW:toR IS NOT INNOVATIVE. AION IS NOT INNOVATIVE. (just because you have only played one other MMO does not mean all the feautres haven't been done before. They ALL HAVE, and nothing any of the recent games, or in the works games, have is innovative. So stop saying it just because you're a fan and have no MMO experience)
