I'm more of a Productive Troll. I'll make serious and productive posts, comments, and feedback, while at the same time act upon my complete distaste for this new trend of Co'op RPG features and games, e.g., Battlegrounds, Instanced PvP, SWTOR, STO, etc... |

First time poster here,
This is the best site in the world but this is the worst article I have ever seen in my life from birth until this very morning. Keep up the good work. I think I will go back to lurking. What persona would you think I am? |

The overreactor who praises and destoys the same game in less than a 24 hour period, I'm guilty

How about the one-uppers?
"Oh you used to play Vanilla WoW? Yeah I was in beta" "Oh you got to lvl 50 in 4 days in Swtor? Yeah I hit it in 3 and watched all cutscenes." "Oh youve been playing MMOs since EQ? Yeah I played Meridian 59" |

filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

What category does the "Actually..." guy fit under? The guy that always has an answer to the question nobody asked. Example: Poster: I like this new game. I like how it does a double slash motion with the sword.
That guy: Actually, that "sword" is a katana blade and was popular in Japan but can date its origins even further back to blah blah blah. IMO it was the most efficient design. |

Hahaha! Yeah. I can't stand that guy.
"Question: Which side should I be? Good or Evil? Poster: Actually, good or evil is just a point of view."
------
Another one: The Special Snowflake: This person tries to be identified and heard only by typing in a special color, as if he or she has anything important to say. |

So who did we miss? Which archetype do you identify with most? C’mon now. Be honest! Let us know in the comments.

I think you missed out hater. Trolls are people that post inane things just to elicit a response, or stir up an argument, and the post can be about anything.
Haters are the ones that will jump on any thread at all about a game they dont like and post negatively. Even if the discussion is perfectly civil until they arrive, they will post something such as "This game sucks donkey balls, i dont know why anyone would play it, its not even an mmo" and then the eternal battle between fanboys and haters begins...

I've got one type blocked.
The Sarcastic One. Knows only how to respond to other posts in a sarcastic manner. Very condescending person to boot. The "I've had too much wine" poster lol. I've identified a female one.  |
