Yeah and pretty much every one of them were brought up at least three weeks ago, but the responses then were, "its not game breaking", "The games new", "shut up you dirty hater".

I call B.S. again. The only bug that was "game breaking" was not being able to do the last dungeon and the story mode but those have been fixed.

Edit: The AH being down was pretty bad too.

I don't think I can take It anymore, the total and complete obsession with Guild Wars 2 being the best thing to happen since gravity was explained. I, like many other people won't just fall into a game without looking at all It's points; both good and bad. However It Is absolutely impossible to talk to any of these hundreds of fanboys without them completely freaking out at you.

I understand some people really like this game but It's like they are all blind or In denial and It's gotten to the point where I daren't critisize GW2 in fear of hundreds of condescending, hateful and ridiculous comments. I know this isn't the same for other games, people seemed more open to critisize and compare. However I do know there's some sort of patriotic duty to defend your current game. But this has to be the biggest concentration of fanboism I've ever encountered. 

It's funny, I commented on how the Sylvari zone was artistically similar to perfect worlds elf area and mentioned I was slightly dissapointed In the lack of originality. What followed was about 45 minutes of pure hate and blind defending... 

Gah, I don 't usually post but I just had to get this of my chest. Anyone else have any experiences on this topic? I'd love to hear them. 

No, the game is not the best thing since whatever.

But this shit goes both ways. Sometimes trying to discuss anything positive about the game it gets smacked down by people "who just want to talk constructively" about the game completely and unconditionally. Bring up ANY good feature or innovation in the game, and you'll get people "who just want to talk constructively" and stomp the features into hell instantly and wont take any word the other way. Dont make it sound like it's just fans, you cant discuss anything here, good or bad.

Threads like this are hilarious. OP states he wants the right to point out the negative aspects of a game in an opinion forum where only positive opinions are tolerated, and what follows only proves his point.

GJ!

Yes, you are not the only one. At the end i guess only them will be playing the game, they are killing the game, talking only about ¨the best MMO of all times¨  and ignoring all the real problems, wont help.

What do you care about what other pepole think or do?

So don't talk with them. Stay out of the GW2 forums and consider it old news, water under the bridge, etc?

These days, it seems that anyone who likes a game more than you is a fanboy, anyone who dislikes a game more than you is a troll..

 

 

 those words have lost any meaning to me over the last few years, as they are tossed around in just about every other posting on this forum.

 You're just a Trolboy! :) or is it Fantrol?.....

Best game of the last few years, despite its many flaws its fun.....

LOL. It is fun. But it is NOT the best. Maybe the best for you. But thats an awfully bold statement for a generic dumbed down MMO (again, I admit I like it, but it is what it is).

Hmm OP... Bet you wake up tomorrow and think: Crap - Posting while under the influence and all that...

Dont worry though - 24 hour ban at most and GW2 is still an amazing game that many of us dropped our subscription in another game for...

I can't really give much opinion on it, I have only played like 20-30 minutes....So I can't say that I have given it enough of a chance to say I dislike it....  It sure hasn't grabbed me, could be the class (necro, which is one of the classes I always play).  It may also have been that I played on launch weekend and the zerg of new people made the game seem dull for pve...  Also had a lot of other stuff going on, so it's been a little of disinterest and me being busy...

I will probably give it another shot this week and see.

You paid 60 bucks and got a decent console game in return.........Meh, whatever.

EDIT:

I mean if any console game is worth 60 bucks why would you feel GW2 is worth more?

The biggest concentration of fanboys and trolls on these forums still belong to the combined mass of old-school MMOs.

You just love tippytoeing around Blasphemy, don't you?

Unfortunately, we know by know that 'fanboy' and 'hater' and 'troll' are all semantically equivalent terms.  All the same guy; just sometimes wearing a different company's t-shirt.

So yeah, pretty much every writer on this forum.  And every import too (the bevy of cruise-through trolling alts).

Why should you even care?  If you don't play the game, why do you even care? 

But you see... you do care... you feel like some inadequate child that got a smaller piece of cake at the party and are having a tantrum because someone else's cake is bigger.  

You want to stop all these threads?  Stop making flamebait threads to incite them.  But alas, that is your true goal, to remind everyone that your game is so much better and the fact that someone else is having fun in another game is a crime against humanity.

Grow up. 

So you are cool to critisize but others aren't?  

I get why you got lambasted and fanboism has nothing to di with.  Comparing a forest area in a game to another game is kinda silly. Forests have trees, swamps etc. So yeah they are going to look the same.  Heck, screw perfect world, we can talk ultima 4 and 5 or final fantasy 2.  Forests and swamps are forests and swamps.  

The annoying part is making threads for the siliiest of reasons.  Forests look the same.   Okay, did you want blue trees and pink grass?

Exactly. That's what's really happening, the game is that good it's sad that some feel the need to be part of what they percieve as the in crowd by being descenters and just can't let go of their old notions.

Exhibit A, OH! the irony.

1. Game is THAT good. Trust me, I played most MMO worth playing past few years and it's fist one I truly love. Well maybe except EVE.

2. If you don't like something, that's just your opinion and others can have different point of view.

3. You don't like something =/= bad. Just like that. Same when you like something =/= good all the time.

3. When you are trying to bash something, people will defend it. Especially if you bash something they like.

The only way the OP's opinion will be validated is if his original post has been "reported" already. Oh wait...it has. Who would have guessed!

Gee,  guess trying to have a discussion, either positive or negative, is worthy of being reported now. Way to go. Discussion suppressed. Next up: Book burning!!
