To me it's more like:
Group 3 tends to come in and hammer on Groups 1 & 2 with the same tiresome lines and arguments. Over and over and over. This, in turn, leaves the people in Groups 1 & 2 with a problem -- do they ignore the lies and misinformation and whining alone to fester and make the future discussion even more toxic? Or attempt to clean and sterilize the wound to prevent further infection?
What do you do? It's a real problem -- if you're passive you run away and the trolls win. I you're active, you fight back because if you let the trolls win, you will have no place where you can discuss the game anywhere. However, people like you and the op get on your soapboxes and wag your fingers at us like you're some Internet Nanny and we're 'bad boys' for fighting back. |

I don't know about anyone else, but my personal experience in the game, during the BWEs, has been that the community is wonderful. Very friendly, helpful and respectful to one another. This is quite different from some other MMOs which I have been in more open betas for. Usually the community goes down hill the closer a game gets to release and I simply did not see that in GW2. I also don't see anything rabid going on in these forums, for that matter. The worst posts, in terms of being rude, argumentative, and disrespectful have been from folks coming here to dis the GW2 fans, not the other way around. Maybe I'm just missing bad behaviour happening in OTHER non-GW2 forums, I guess. Seeing as I don't visit those. |

Does GW2 have rabid fanbois on this forum?Yes it does Does it have more or worse fanbois than any other game int he past?Not in my opinion and I've been lurking and reading these forums for many years before my join date.Does no one remember Darkfall's rabid defenders before it's release and after?Or the Cryptic Defence Force?TSW world had/has just as many rabid defenders on these forums. Reasoend debate has almost never occurred ont hese forums for any game in recent years,it's always mostly people shouting half baked opinions at each other or deliberately trolling each other. Also judging an entire community by the small segment of said community who post here is a bad idea.For example I once did that to the Darkfall community but when I actually ghave the game ago I foudn the majority of the community very helpful and respectful,sure those same peopel would probably later try and kill you and take your stuff but hey that's part of how the game is meant to be played You need to have a thick skin on the Internet and if you are so easily affected by the small portion of the MMORPG community that psot here...maybe you should stop reading these forums for awhile till you develope a few more layers. |

Originally posted by cinos Even if Anet messed everything up you would still say it's "bang on". That's because you haven't really played GW2 but just a demo of it. At release you will see more and more flaws every day, and then you may start giving them real feedback and they can start fixing the game, but then it may be too late (see D3). (btw by you I mean "the fanboys") |

Originally posted by azmundai And here is another response that is nothing more than a hateful generalization toward an entire group of people. You sir/ma'am are another poster who simply jumps on the bandwagon of a negative GW2 thread. I have seen you do so more than once, though below you will find one specific example if you need it. Wow only two days ago! its called fotm. new game comes out, and the hype that people frenzy themselves into leaves them blind to anything that their new flagship doesnt champion.

So in the end, your argument is based on an assumption. There are two types of people. Those who agree with you, and those who are wrong.
Nice, I think you proved their point. |

Originally posted by Jormung Yeah, I've read MANY of Aerowyn's posts ( and watched some of the video links...thanks for that!) and they are anything BUT rabid. By the way "stirring the pot" was the image I was looking for Aerowyn. Well stated. On topic: I do already have a guild of people some of whom I already know and some I am looking forward to getting to know better. They are from all over the world which is really cool! |

Originally posted by otinanai123 because there have been good discussions about pvp limitations in this game.. and for the most part that hasn't been as high in the number of people who have been complaining about aspects of the game.. but I can add some of you want.. no open world pvp, WvWvW is nothing but a zerg fest, sPVP requires no skill, why would people pvp for cosmetics, ect ect actually most my comments in the pervious post could be applied to PVP I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

The mentality of both fans and haters can be understood quite adequately by reading few articles on psychology. Just google and you may find that you no longer see the point of replying many threads or posts made by either of these types. It quite frankly is pointless while you should not expect anything else when a new game launches.

Originally posted by LytheEmber Your point? He brings up a valid issue. One I can agree with. Amusing you bring up generalizations when you seem prone to do the same thing. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Originally posted by otinanai123 Why do you want to see every single thing in the beta? Do you want everything to be spoiled for you already before the game is out? I'd rather have some bugs+a sense of mystery in the game, instead of no bugs+already knowing every detail about the game. Seriously.. |

Originally posted by otinanai123 Had to edit those two points first. Just so it's clear that you aren't specifically talking about me. :) Have to say though, you are quite the pessimist. :p The beta's have been very successful at addressing core issues and the criticisms recieved after each beta have actually been covered quite well. Difficulty, frame rate, spawn rates, guild management, wvw, class balance, etc. These are just some of the things I have seen people give feedback on, all legitimate and all thus far addressed. You appear to be assuming (at least giving the impression that you believe so) that every single person who plays GW2 and gives feedback will be a diehard fanboy who will have nothing but good things to say. This is simply never the case in any game. Anet appear to be smart enough to tell a good piece of feedback from the bad thus far so I can't believe as you do that they will be developing this game by themselves. Their desire to be part of the community and actually talk to their testers is contradictory to that belief. |

Originally posted by Svarcanum I am really tired of posters whom just plainly assume that GW2 doesn't have retention rates just because its not like other MMO out there. What makes you think there is no Retention rate, League of Legends is also an B2P game, and its always populated with thousands of players. You can't log in and not find a match going on. I know its a bad example seeing that LOL isn't an MMO. But still , with all the previous MMO released, its actually very apparent that the original formula of an MMO is the ones that can't keep their player bases. Very different result compared to your assumption. SWTOR kept me for 2 months, and just by playing BWE of GW2, I know it will keep me for more that 2 month. And thats actual playing experience of GW2. So did I just prove that GW2 will keep me as a player longer than SWTOR. I guess I just did. Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it. |

This is getting unbearable... I'm so tired of reading all this "fanboys are ruining it" when the fact is, I've seen more of this posts than the fanboy posts around the forums... So I'd really like to see some quotations and some sources to the most recent fanboy posts please. Otherwise they're just empty words and are posted on regular basis out of some other urge I guess... Don't know which one that might be, but that's the feeling I get. "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." ![]() |

here's a thought. if you don't want people making generalist statements about your posts, try not posting the same inane drivel, or supporting the same inane drivel that has been posted about every single game that has been slated for release in the past 7+ years. not to mention, I have pre-ordered, and talked many friends into pre-ordering, and intend to play the game for a year or more because it is a good game. Just because I dont agree with you that it is the second coming of christ, doesn't make me a hater. LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity. |
