You might not share his views, which is also fine, but why do you guys always stamp negative threads with "Troll", is it to make yourself feel better?

 

I will be playing GW2, I'm not as excited as many of you are, but I will give it a shot.. (So you see, I'm not a hater, or WoW fanboy)

 

I just think you GW2 fans need to take some meds to calm down, it doesn't hurt you that someone doesn't share your view of what is in your eyes, gods gift to gamers.

...Seriously?

Because of the title of the thread I'd guess. It's a trolling title. Also I dont get this "He's entitled to his opinion but no-one else is, if you express a negative opinion you should take meds". Is only the OP entitled to his opinion in your eyes? Me I mostly reacted to his bad attempt of trolling.

 

For the record: I will be playing both WoW and GW2 so I'm not a crazy fanboy. (Apparently this is the get-out-of-jail card, since you're then able to label any post as fanboy posts)

It is kinda of a get-out-of-jail card, since if you don't incl. that in your post, you'll be met with meaningless responses like the OP, "Troll", instead of discussion.

[mod edit]

Just because OP didn't follow what you guys appearently think is a correct way to put up negatives to discuss, doesn't mean you can't discuss OP's points in a civil manner, instead of just dismissing it with "Troll", or just leave the thread all together.

You could discuss why YOU think GW2 is original, why it got tactics involved etc. etc.

But he is very much entitled to think GW2 is the biggest turd to ever come out of the gaming industry, if he wants.

I always wondered that on these forums..... Why are only the OPs entitled to an opinion and everyone who posts after them isn't

No one on the internet is entitled to an opinion by the looks of it. People start insulting other people who don't share their opinion. Soooo what we end up are mostly personal insults and complete dismissal of the opinions of others. There is no real discussion just random poeple stating their random opinions yet no one is influenced by anyone else.

And now that people are done with calling OP all kinds shit, they turn their evil GW2 fanboy eyes at me, can't have someone on this forum who likes to see both positives and negatives discussed, it's IMPOSSIBLE! :P

The problem with the OP is he doesn't have ANY POINTS.

Title of the thread: "Guild Wars 2, the most unoriginal game ever." <- That's not an opinion, that's trolling. It's actually a fact that the game is not "most unoriginal game ever", there's been many games that everyone calls for example "a wow clone", but even the haters dont call GW2 a "wow clone", that alone proves that surely it's not the most unoriginal game ever?

Also League of Legends is not an MMO, just felt like pointing that out since the OP seems to think it has any relevance with GW2's launch perhaps.

So everyone is entitled to an opinion, and we shouldn't post negative comments in response to the op? Yet, our negative comments are our opinions, which we, according to you, are entitled to. So you post negative comments in response to our opinions, in which you state that everyone is entitled to an opinion, while also saying that we shouldn't post our opinion? So is everyone entitled to their opinion, or just you and the op?
Is that it? A bit hypocritical isn't it?

He says GW2 is unoriginal, if you made a post expressing your own opinion about why you think it is original, then you got a discussion, or why you think GW2 does have good gameplay and strategies.

Simple really.

So you find it "proper" to go on other game's forums and start posting "this game is unoriginal"? That's your idea of a discussion?

If that's what he thinks about it, yes.

So all I need to do is to counter his opinion with mine, and use at least as many points and facts as him?

Hmm, ok.

Guild Wars 2 IS original.

Eureka, I got it!

If you honestly believe that the OP has got good intentions, then why hasn't he even bothered addressing any of the criticism? And don't tell me that the so-called hate has scared him off, as he wouldn't gotten this much hate if he hadn't created such an unnecessarily sensationalist thread.

There are stickies for a reason:

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/view/forums/thread/359874/Aerowyns-Video-Compilation-of-ALL-things-Guild-Wars-2.html

Also there are discussions on various aspects of gameplay on these forums and why the game is not unoriginal. There is NO POINT in making a new thread about it. That's exactly what trolls do. I won't bother with this anymore it will be locked when a moderator awakes

Guild Wars 2 isn't an original concept?  Crap.  This whole time I thought I was having FUN with something completely new in the world of gaming.  Now the FUN I've been having is tainted.  With FUN.

And I'm pretty sure DOTA came out before LoL, making your precious unoriginal as well.  =P (Sorry, couldn't resist the childish urge there.  I am a bad person.)

So you are here to moderate the GW2 forums?  Very impressive and good luck in your venture, but if I were you I would not be so hypocritical. If you want to discuss the topic then do so.

PieRad, why are you trying so hard to make that last line of your signature apply to you?

 

Seems to me it applies more to you, but again, opinions.

opinions are like assholes everyone has one everyone thinks their's doesnt stink...and steven segal owns a time share in all of them.

however the it's only his opinion does only take him so far, by that I mean you cant say for example, dont attack him for shareing his opinon, because the other people posting here are allowed to post their opinions just as much as he is allowed to post his.

If you walk into a biker bar say every biker is a *insert colorful defacement of your choice here* the bikers should say

"well we are all entiteled to our own opinions and while I do think you are wrong I commend you for speaking freely"

while it would be funny(especially me picturing them drinking tea and wearing monocles as they say that) it's not going to happen.

at worse they will all as one kick his ass, at best they will insult him back.

what you are saying is he is allowed to come to a forum and basically insult a game, and that IS what he is doing, he wasnt respectfully ciritsizing he was just insulting, which is why people assumed troll.

It's like if I went up to trekkies dressed in star wars stuff and started bad mouthing star trek "it's boring and unoriginal and cant compare with Star Wars at all etc etc"

why is it okay for him to come and insult a game we love but we cant insult him back.

His opinon is are game is a pathetic unoriginal game while WoW and LoL is master.....while it is the opinion of the people before me who posted that he is a troll, jerk, ignorant, etc.

see both sides are expressing their opinions, the reason why you are getting hated on is you are saying taht he is allowed to express his opinion but everyone else is not.

me personally I could care less, while I do feel his post is a troll thread(again see the star wars star trek example) I tend to suck at insults and feel there is enough hatred on the interwebs.

so while I do agree with you, as in it would have been easier if they just ignored his opinion all together, others do have the same right he does to  express opinions, even if they are just has hateful trollish and do not aid the game, forum, internet, or universe in general in anyway
