I'm sorry, I know this is about SWTOR and all, but I had to post this:

"Posted by MoatilliattaI want a good spaceship MMO that isn't EVE

I wish.

The music and the nebula effects are gorgeous.

But sadly in an total PvP game that condones wholesale thieving. :("
                               

This is the reason why none of you sandbox gamers will ever see a real AAA sandbox MMO.

I am with Kalinis on this one, I think it's more of the adults that makes the communites worst than they should be. Everytime I read a TOR bashing thread it's from people that's been playing mmos from anywhere between 10-12 yrs. Guess what people I don't know any 12-15 year old that has been playing an MMO that long, most kids that play these games are just happy to be playing. They don' t get all technical and act like arm chair developers like most people I have seen posting, I am sorry but it's the 20 and up crowd that's the culprit here.

You call it having balls, I say it's just a typical forum troll spoiling for a fight. We see it here on a regular basis.

No one "fears" another game....

 

They should though, no?  When you get right down to it.  If a game comes along and does something you absolutely hate, that becomes popular with a group of players that just showed up recently, and suddenly the only genre you play is changed to reflect the love these new players have for something that you hate . . . and thus, more changes you hate come about as these outsiders begin to drive the evolution of your genre...

...perhaps people do need to fear games.  For some, it is pretty much a case of fighting for the very life of their genre.

Fight or flight... so many have gone down fighting, so many have simply disappeared over the horizon, and so few remain...

I just read the first few pages of the posts on that thread and I fail to see where any of the wow community members were tearing him to shreds.  I see people who disagreed with his post and thats it.  Based on the replies in this thread, did anyone actually read the thread on the wow forums or are you just playing along with the OP?

Yeah i don't think many even bothered to read. There is lot of disagreeing but i saw no 'tearing him to shreds'.

So out of boredom I went over to see what people over in the WoW gaming forums had to say about Sw:tor, this brave,brave soul had the ball sto post a topic titled " Why are WoW players so afraid of SWTOR?" lol for a good laugh take a peek through 19 pages of nothing but a brutal blood bath lol.

Please don't carry it over on these forums, lets keep it light hearted and as a source of enterainment lol, enjoy.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3595343188?page=1

your thread there was kinda on the border of flame baiting. what did you expect?

I actually read the 19 pages. My results

Other then a few misinformation like you can't skip any of the cutscences, it seemed pretty much like these forums. You got your fans, you got your people who think you can try both. Almost identical in every way.

The OP of that thread was kind of trolling with the fact of calling the WOW community the worst ever, that and putting it in general was a reoccuring theme.

Not sure i'd want to associate with people who try and rile up other peple like the OP did, i mean what exactly do you expect would be the result of, TOR is good, WoW's community is the worst. I mean go to any board and do that. RIft, GW2 TSW, TOR. Well okay maybe not GW2guru because they are heavly moderated so you can't do things like that but still.

Your going to get the exact same response. It's not brave, it's not good. It's just trying to start a war.

The odd thing though is that unlike this board, there doesn't seem to be any name calling of sorts, agree, disagree, correct, but very little name calling.

Oh there most likely has been name calling.

How ever. In the event some one feels offended by any thing that vaguely looks like a name call: they report it and the poster that was reported is quickly banned from forums for a duration of time.

Most of the moderation on WoW forums is like a rubber stamp.

That's the difference between WoW forums and these ones.

Odd, most of what i used too see on the wow forums is people trashing the game, because like 5% of the pop visits the forums, and it tends to be the people who know the most about the game, which somehow translates into them hating it the most.

The funniest thing i ever saw on the WoW forums was when...i think it was Rift came out, and there was a "Rift will kill wow" thread, and a guy typed something like

"AoC will kill wow.

Tabula Rasa will kill wow.

Warhammer will kill wow.

Aion will kill wow.

I am a regular at mmorpg.com"

And then it just got quoted for 20 pages.

And you, OP, are trying to show what exactly with this thread? "Why are people afraid of swtor?" is the most suspicious title for a troll thread I've seen lately. I don't see the point, if someone posted the same about WoW on the swtor forums I bet it would be the same if not much worse.

I can't stand when people go onto gaming forums and do those type of things. I've had enough of it here with the GW2 and SWG trolls so I'm not going to support the same if a TOR fan does it.

Some of the threads here, start out in a general area - because they mention a particular game (even if the discussion is not actually about the game specifically) . . . the thread gets moved.

At other times, it is simply a case that the thread shows up on the front page or the real-time page.  People see something and they reply without noticing which forum it is in... which can lead to being jumped by a handful of rabid fans.

All you did with that thread was insulting the community, and you're the worst part off that "bad" community. The part that thinks you're so much better then the rest of us all. You're the reason why people think that wow has a bad community while it doesn't  really have any worse community then the rest of internet now adays. 

I'm not a part of WoW now adays, but i have had almost minimum bad things to say about their community and their game untill i started seeing guys like you all around MMORPG.com.

Please understand, you're a part of the community. If you want to make the community better, start with yourself.

Come on TC was that necessary? 

While I don't play WoW anymore - I think half the time the adults do the worst more than kids.

For example: Player A blocks Play B, Player A then proceeds to whisper Player B with a flame.

Still though, WoW has generally a bad community. You'd have to search for a decent server where the chats aren't full of cancer.

Well said, the OP is exactly the person I don't wanna come across when I will be playing this game.

This isn't so different from being a hardcore fan of a sporting team and going into their biggest rival's arena wearing your team's jersey and trash talking.

Oh wait, yes it is, if you do that in real-life you get pummeled in da' face. If you stick your head in the lion's mouth, I wish you luck.

So you fanboys of Swtor do really belive that people that dosent care about or have played Swtor and dosent like it are afraid that theire current MMO are going to die?

He, everyday you guys scare me abit more. Seriousley you really do!

The Swtor Community are really building up to be the worst in any MMO so far, some of thoose "fans" are dangerous. If you meet them in RL and dare to criticise Swtor i have no doubt about that they would use violance against you.

You are confusing "Beta community" with actual "community".

A games community really starts forming after release and isn't really determined until a few months after it is out.

Look on Rift, the community now have not much in common with the beta community, and few people were in both.

I do agree that the genre don't hang just on this game, there are several other upcomming games that could give the genre back the status among the publising houses it used to have, we need that status so they actually funds MMOs.

We do need a hit MMO in the next few years that shows everyone that you still can earn money on MMOs. But if that game is TOR, GW2, TSW, WoDO or something else doesn't really matter. If not the MMO genre will fade into a small indie genre again as it was in the late 90s.
