This post is going to be about people not game itself.

After spending some time here on the forums, I have really come to conclusion that a lot of people trully thinks and believe that every WOW player is retard, stupid, kid, moron, blind etc. Now I know why some of them see it that way cause I have seen some posts which WOW fanbois have put and they can not relly be labeled smart. My point here is that WOW have some other playerbase which is not really in that group of mindless fanbois, but people seem to generalise all of population, as a matter of fact it is starting to be the case with lot of games lately, for example in AION forums lot of people who acctually do not like game are calling it Asian Grindfest.

I mean, are we human enought to accept that if we do not like something it does not have to be stupid by default. Are human enought to see just a little beyond generalisation others have pulled out on us? This forum can be great place to hang out and have creative disscusions but somehow I feel everyday it is going farther from it.

I placed this in WOW forum on purpose, cause I happen to be subscribed to it at time being. And my gaming history of MMORPG is: EVE, Guild Wars, Dungeons & Dragons online, Lord of the rings, Tabula Rasa, World of Warcraft.

Looking for: Star Wars old republic and Star trek online.

sO YOU POST A MESSAGE CRYING ABOUT PEOPLE CALLING WOW PLAYERS RETARDED?

Being human is what makes us not accept things we do not like. hell, we would be eating raw meat and wiping are anus with sand if we accepted everything...

so thanks for confirming are thoughts about wow players being retarded...

besides wow is a simple mans game, if you like it, great, just dont pretend its complex or challenging...

That's what people do, they generalize. Always have, and probably always will.

That being said, most of us have seen and played with the WoW crowd first hand because actually played WoW at some point. We aren't just going out on a whim, we have seen the retardation first hand. Generalizations cover a large amount of something, but never account for everything and there are always exceptions.

Oh, and if you want to complain about people thinking WoW players are retarded, you may want to spell the only word in your title correctly.

Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic
Played: SWG, Guild Wars, WoW
Playing: Eve Online, Counter-strike
Loved: Star Wars Galaxies
Waiting for: Earthrise, Guild Wars 2, anything sandbox.

Yes this is exactlly what response I expected from this sites community. It just confirms that everything I said about non being tollerant is true, nothing else, nothing more.

Thank you all for confirming how really you are all full of hatred, and how patetic you all are.

And speaking of spelling, I do not care, English is not my native language and I think I know it well enought to communicate. In comparing to how well you know my language I know English perfectlly. So shut up.

OP don't let these people get too you, its kinda like therapy for them, they think if they trash WoW they will feel better about themselves and the fail games they play.

Really just best to ignore their hatred so you don't have to stoop down to their inferior level.
