Just want to respond to a few comments - In no specific order, and with no specific posts being quoted - from my last thread here

To those calling me a "swtor fanboy who called anyone who disagreed or didn't like SWTOR a troll"

This is an out and out lie and borders on defamation of character, not only do I not call anyone a troll simply out of the fact that everyone misuses the term now a days, I've rather reasonable with my view on any game rather I'm looking forward to it or not. But I'm also realistic, when a game comes out I don't demand it to be perfect and I find those who do to be unreasonable, this is an opinion I will voice to those making unrealistic demands, no game is going to be perfect upon release, they all have bugs its the nature of MMOs, of course I know these same two people are going to say 'well if you're so reasonable why did you quit". Simple, They did not do as they promised within what I felt was a reasonable time, and I felt the game was no longer up to the quality I seek in a game to be worth my monthly fee. Will I return when most of the bugs are squashed, the engine is improved and there is more content? Who knows I very well may be.

Now, that wall of text out of the way, to those saying "lawlz tsw are already panicing"..

I'm not a fanboy of anything, first of all as I said before, I believe I'm a reasonable person, who makes reasonable requests of the devolpers that make the games I purchase, I don't make "I'm leaving this game because you suck!' posts, I don't whine on the forums every patch about how the game sucks now that they changed it, I don't troll people or insult them just because they like a game I don't, or they dislike a game I do within reason, if you're the kind of person who goes to a game forum to call anyone who plays it an idiot the game a steaming pile then I will point you to the nearest door because thats not a reasonable request, its nothing really theres no point for posts of peer hatred, if you don't like something simply don't..Go there.

With that, I'm sure someones going to try to make me out to be a hypocrit "Well if you don't like GW2 why are you on this forumz?"

I never said I didn't like GW2, in fact I'm worried for its longevity, see I've noticed a pattern in many MMOs of late..I'd say it started with the last few patches of wrath of the lich king on wow, however the game mostly effected, that I've noticed, was SWTOR. See, on WoW the common saying used to be "Oh don't worry, the next patch will fix it", followed by everyone on the boards crying and whining about how that patch sucked, then "Oh, don't worry, cata will fix it", followed by the same, as a result no one looks at the positive aspects and only looks for the negative. THAT is what I am saying about GW2. With a large number of people - How large a percent of the actual fandom? I can't say but from my own personal experience it seems like a lot - are making GW2 out to be the holy grail, the massiah of MMOs, and if they do its going to be a victim of its own hype, I hate when good games are precieved as failures because of that. Not because I'm a fan of every MMO that does it, but because I'm a fan of video games in general, and no good game - rather I think its good or not - deserves to die simply because of hype.

Finally, to those who actually saw the point of my previous post? I thank you for helping maintain some sanity on these boards.

 

I can't believe I just sat and read all that self-important crap.

Ditto.

You forgot to mention how his poor choice in grammar and cokin placement degraded his argument to the point of it being illegible.

Sorry, thanks for mentioning it. You did me a great service. You're a gentlemen and a scholar.

No offense but who really cares if someone  " insulted your person" or " character"  or whatever on these forums? I mean really?

You have your opinions, others have theirs. Sometimes they conflict. Such is life bro.

Read learn and respect. A lot of bugfixes and BALANCES (yes a word what have an unknown meaning in SWTOR and WoW). Will be the same in GW2. That's why Gw2 will be the "holy grail" of the MMO world.

Well you're just an anti-life fanboi.

Personally I can't wait for the first pre-order Beta Weekend Event so we can freely discuss the title and get more people actually playing it. Then we can actually talk business instead of hyping :j

Last post was locked for an unjust reason. The conversation was good even though it was slitghly offtopic. This is a valid point of concern about GW2 but saying anything negative about GW2 on these forums is considered trolling.

The game certainly has flaws but A.Net has tactically prevented the gamers from bringing these up (NDA) and press is strictly managed to only point out good and interesting parts of the game. I will raise my hat to the first press reviewer to raise criticism about the game, but it's not going happend yet since they would lose their beta priviliges and any professional journalist needs to be in the GW2 beta for good material.

This is true, and very evident here at MMORPG.com where the mods are locking any negative threads, many without explanation.

I am a GW2 fan, and will be prepurchasing, but am sickened when people are flamed for being trolls when they have concerns, or have their concerns moderated.

People forget that differences in opinion and individuality are GOOD things.

Hmm not sure of the locked post but after reading this i can totally see why they locked it, maybe this should be locked also.

 

I dunno but i have said much less in a 2 line response to someone and got a 1 day suspension, not sure how the warning/banning criteria is implemented, but it seems like its distributed like a whack-a-mole.

Would you explain what, in your opinion, makes this post worthy of being locked? I mean, you're really not arguing anything, or even making a point. Also, I'm not insulting anyone, or anything, in fact I'm defending myself against insults and out right lies against my person.

You're making yourself the dicussion, first I doubt anyone really cares, second, it's against the rules to discuss a poster, I'm sure that even applies when tht person is trying to discuss themselves.

Third, you lose, the only reason anyone would call you out that way, is to get a rise out of you, they obviously have had some success in that.

I made this post solely to address what was said about me on my own post that, as someone else said was unjustly locked while I was away. If it were not, I would of done it there. If that offends you in some way, I apologize but no one forced you to read this post.

No one got "a rise out of me", and simply responding does not prove that as people on the internet so often assume.

He seemed a bit off Distopia. For the record I agree with the points you've made. I find them "spot on".

Seeing you 'hot and bothered' is certainly "getting a rise" out of me.

Edit: Same as my post above, not gonna dignify this thread with responses anymore.

someone who takes this forum serious needs to go c a

I was just pointing out the answer to your question "why should this be locked". The last part was a poor attempt at forum PVP.

and how, exactly, is calmly asking for an explaination being "hot and bothered".

Oh no! I asked for clearification and am currently using sarcasm! I must be steaming!

I don't really see a place for threads like this.  It's not really about GW2, it's about your personal feelings of injustice.

I agree 100%.

In fact i am gonna go edit out any comments i made in this thread cause its just not something i should have bothered with.

To which I'll respond in a similar manner to a previous post.

I'm adressing people, who adressed me, in a post about GW2, that as another poster said, was unjustly locked. In addition I did try - however successfully - to clearify exactly my intent of the previous post and would perfectly content with continuing that discussion. However since a large portion of the text was my adressing previous comments levied at me, I do understand why a majority of people think this is all about me and are posting accordingly.

So?  If you have problems with people, PM them or forget about it.  It's a forum, I've said critical things to a poster that I agreed with wholeheartedly that same day and the same has happened to me.  Don't let it bug you, threads like this still aren't really about games themselves though.

Please do not continue or repost locked threads.

Locked.
