So you're saying the opinions of members usually means the opposite. So people slating swtor for having a bad engine, horrible Pve end game, extreme amounts of voice acting, the slowest loading screens on a major title and lots of other bugs should really read all that and think swtor is perfect and these people are just whiners?

i hate anything that got hardcore PvP looting, it attracts all kinds of evil and bad people.

I don't hate MMOs.  They don't do anything to me I don't allow them to....

However, the one I think sucked the most was Mytheon.  Complete waste of my time.  Good thing it was F2P :)

Have to say, as much vitriole as people on this site have toward GW2, I'm surprised the percentages aren't higher on that one.

EQ1 is by far the best one in the list.

 

I voted WoW because Wow imo ruined MMO's... my opinion, I don't need you all to chime in about how great it is.  And start telling me all the great stuff... that I find boring and repetitive.  Which is why I am not stating why I believe it is the worst MMO ever... successful yes, but it ruined MMO and the community for me.

wake up , these wow ruined mmos is so last season griefing before 2003 there wasnt many MMos out there anyways ,

ultima and everquest and them handful of awfulness wich people always say they were the best just only cause they were the first ones you experince something out of the single playing games what you havent experienced before, not to that i also pplayed mmo called helbreath and it was great at the time 1998 but i wont go anywhere blaming wow was the fault of ruining it or other games, its about the opinions and what people like to play, if people play wow and not everquest what that tells you then? nobody play mmo cause they have to , they play cause they want to.

as for vote all mmos have atleast one good thing but mos dissapointed of them must have been warhammer online for me.

For me it will always be DDO.

Although FFXIV comes awful close.

This makes me sad.  I absolutely loved that game (pre crafting revamp) so much.   You could wander and explore for hours, all the while creating your own gear out in the field using parts from creatures you had slain.  I really freakin miss the original AC2.

And it has no proper em!  If I am incorrect, contact me..  

My vote had to go to WoW for reasons already stated in the thread.  Those of us that have been around and know what WoW/Blizzard did the genre know why.

After $oe took over EQ it became the worst then I figured out it was $oe.

So I just stay away from anything they do.

Might be adding NCSOFT next.

SW:TOR I hated with a passion. First because SWG was such a better representation of the Star Wars universe and second because they had all that money and they wasted it on voice overs and single player content. I mean seriously, an MMO where most of the content is solo-centered. Really??

That being said, it was a pretty good single player game but why would I play a sub. fee, and now cash shop, for a single player game?

Voiceovers are a collossal waste of money and time. It's a game, we can use our imagination. We can read. Please NO MORE VOICEOVERS.

WoW most certainly ruined the genre. Game companies have no business sense whatsoever and fail at determining the drivers of WoW's profliferation. They instead assume it's the kindergarden-level-gameplay; and have wasted countless $millions trying to imitate.

Over 600 votes this is one of the biggest polls I've seen on mmorpg.com.

Good work all!

With regards to a previous post, new gaming companies copy wow because they see $ signs what they fail to understand is the hook wow had when it started 8 years ago. This version of wow if it came out 8 years I personally don't think would've succeeded because back then the mmo genre fans kept it afloat. Now the game is warped to fit the desires of a new crowd the more fickle mmo crowd that want quick access to everything. If new companies made an open world with some wow elements like an easy ui and very transitional loading between zones it might succeed. The existing fans of wow are who keep it popular because they've put too much time in to leave. I left after 3 1/2 years invested back in 2010 some get it. I wish the new developers would get that too.

Thanks for the poll. I enjoyed reading the responses.

I voted other, the other I referred to was Mortal Online, by Star Vault.

I dislike the company due the fact that they actually scammed their original customers.

I will not go into details, this forum and others contain all the relevant information.

Okay, when you're right, you're right.  I might make an exception for SWTOR.  Nonetheless, members of this site DO, without argument, tend to be very negative and to the utmost extreme.  My guess is that most of them have played so many MMOs they're just burnt out on the genre.  But this is, of course, only my opinion.

I voted SWTOR, not because I hate the game. I never really played it, except in closed beta, when I quit because I didn't like it.

I "hate" SWTOR because I love Star Wars, and this game is occupying the space that a good MMO Star Wars game could occupy. Like an inert gas, SWTOR is not directly poisonous, but you will still die for lack of air.
