Quite honestly, I'm tired of seeing these topics in general all the time. I'm usually not the person to make this type of a post, but it gets annoying having relevent topics get pushed down because someone is too lazy to download a trial version. Why do you want me to tell you what to play? Do you not have your own preference for games? Are you really such a sheep that you want my experiences to dictate which game you should play? The point is, most, if not all, MMORPGs have a trial version available for download. Download, try the game for yourself. I can't tell you what you like, only you can. Don't follow the flock, make your own decisions. Thank you for reading. This has been your heartless public service announcement. |

Boredom is in the temperament of the beholder. |
I don't mind threads where the poster is asking for something very specific. It'd probably be a waste of time to read through the whole game list just to find maybe one game that fits what they're looking for. It's the threads where they ask something inane, like "wats teh best gaem?" or "gimme a free game 2 paly," or "what game should I play ???" that induce eye-rolling and sighing. I wonder if those who post the latter are the same people who won't watch a movie if they read a bad review about it. Hmm, no...because these people won't read reviews; they only ask people to write new ones for them to read. |

There isn't anything in the rules that says people can't ask about the opinions of others for advice on which game they should play. This is the mmorpg.com forum website and if people are curious as to which games people think they should play then allow them to post it, if it bothers you so much simply don't read those posts.

My fingers hurt from video games :( |
I hate the threads where someone is very basic, bassicly telling me "tell me an MMO TO PLAY!!!". They give no details on what they want, ect. ect.
I've been known to ask a few times about an MMO. The fact is, a trial can't realy tell you "everything" there is to know about one. For example, in EVE Online's case I am sure the trial did not give it justice, as you realy can' jump into the "meat" of the game. Some games realy don't have a trial option, for example, Lineage II. Anyways, when I generaly post I like to actualy post what I like so that I can get a better idea of what I want to try out, instead of searching aimlessly through all of the mmo's on the market. |

That's fair, I kind of have a better idea of where you're coming from with this post now, and I agree that people shouldn't just say "I played this, now what?". I do believe that people should learn to think for themselves more, however in some cases I can understand why a person may just be giving up and reaching out for any answer they can get. |

I think it's also a fair point in the OP's post that all of the "Help me find a game" posts are pushing actual discussion topics down. If there were fewer threads [about choosing a game], it wouldn't be a problem, but I think we see enough of them now to actually merit giving them their own board. I don't want to get rid of them entirely (they are, after all, posts seeking information about MMOs), but a "Seeking Game Information" or "What Game Should I Play?" board would definitely remove some of the clutter from the Pub.

Bottom line, a lot of stupid people play mmorpgs. Of course playing mmorpgs all day long will only make you more stupid. I should know, |

I must be missing the part where someone is holding a gun to your head and forcing to you read every single thread in the forums.
Seriously though, do you need us to call 911? Because, that could be a problem... |
