That would irritate the shit out of anyone. It's not like the fanboys are posting all over the Pub here about how great their game is, no, they post in their own forums about  the game. I guess some people can't handle seeing positive discussions so they have to come in and fuck shit up.
So WoW isn't for everyone, no need to go over there and stir their hornets nest unless you are testing the banning limits here. A lot of it comes from ex-swg players who are still pissy pants years later over the fact that a game like WoW did so much better than their shit box of a game SWG. BOO Hoo, "all games are linear" or "it's on rails" is their motto. It's a game, fuck go pick up Blackjack, meet a girl, go for a jog, ride a bike, find a new hobby FFS if you can't stand MMOs and they stress you out.

I think many people just watch what is being talked about at the moment then add to the discussion. Sometimes it's negative, but that's generally not because they are 'bashing the shit out of a random game to provoke flame wars', most of the time it's just because that's what people are talking about and they want to express their opinion. Sure, there are a lot of 'kids' who express their opinion in a less than intelligent or civilized manner, but what would make these forums a lot better would be if those who feel that they are mature stop rising to the bait.

I like your style.

In terms of the actual question, the only people who have annoyed me while defending their game is Darkfall, specifically after the article about the review that gave it a 2/10.

Yeah DF was classic. They were posting everywhere chanting "DARKFALL! DARKFALL! DARKFALL!" like they were trying to raise the great undead spirit of sandbox, it was almost like they were inviting people into their forums to laugh. I went in and checked it out, had a few LOL's, and left. I've actually pretty much forgotten about that game.

It's cool if people like it and all, but I hate the "my game is better than yours come play it now because it's better than WoW" wars and as long as they stay in their place I'll never bother them again.

 wow  yes there are good debate on other game here, no there arent a lot of post in here ,lol did you see the freaking web ,remove activision ,blizzard,wow,warcraft and you get a freaking huge amount of website ,fansite and whats not lol,its a monster in it self .most other game fan thing are tame compared to activision/blizzard fan site lol

Have to stick up for my game, EVE fanbois are the worst.

Go ahead, suggest there should be a PVE only server, or that new players can never catch up, or maybe its not really a PVP game, and watch them pull out the lasers and put a cap in your arse. 

Darkfall fanboys are probably the most annoying, really any hardcore PvP fanboy is, they are like those macho people that get drunk and want to fight you.

But I dislike Eve fanboys the most because they, like most the sandbox elites, have an air of smug self satisfaction, you can tell they think they are more intelligent and creative than others.  I also hate how they glorify the game no matter the situation like it was the perfect game, far from it in my opinion, but they are like Mac users.

Let's see..

WoW - it's already the biggest so there's hardly any people defending or praising it (apart for one known individial ofc), WoW rather has the most rabid haters.

Spend around a week in any game's message board and I can guarantee you there will be a post or two by players who'se main (non)issue /w the game in question is that it isn't WoW.

 

True but that comes from WoW numbers and we can easily assume most players have tried WoW and when referring to it in any thread they are pointing out some good things in WoW(the general polish of the game, good UI, non demanding graphics and combat fuidity) not the entire game design.

You're telling that there are playes specifically saying they want another copy of WoW, this is nonsense.

 

WoW has most numerous fanboys but a few rabid(like the infamous Zorndorf), the haters will often post a lot of stupid crap though.

Let me put it this way, take a game with a reasonably low level cap and a non-gear-centered philosophy (Guild Wars.) Players will whine about the low level cap and lack of lootz, and lack of jumping.

Take a game with a heavy PvP theme, and they'll whine about open combat.

Take a game with an extremely open-ended player driven universe (EVE) and they'll complain about the generally directionless PvE.

In many cases the games that they're complaining about were never intended to be WoW clones and have pholosophies that are diametrically opposed to WoW. Instead of appreciating those games based on their own merit, they'll make posts about how the game did not live up to their expectations and it's inferior to their game of choice. That is very much the definition of Carebarism/Trolling.

 I don't think it was smart grouping Darkfall and MO, the two tend to dislike the other. Vangaurd and EQ2 also have a similar relationship.

It seems that the more hardcore the game, the more hardcore the fans. Although games that attract younger audiences, like WoW, tend to have more immature and hence worse fans.

I voted for WoW but its just because of one certain WoW fan (you all know who) but his rabidness is way beyond any other poster here...

Darkfall is second and dont see any similarity between MO and DF fans...

Exactly the reason I voted for WoW.

Other.

Star Wars Galaxies (Pre-CU), these guys still lament the loss of their precious SWG 5 years later. Get over it.

 I hate all fanboys. People who think the world is white and black are fucking morons.   You know the fanboys who have lost all objective reasoning. Just because you like a game does not mean the game is the holy grail and that you must defend its honor at all costs.

I agree. People that like a game don't bother me at all, it's people who will defend a game and it's maker no matter what happens, and act as though the game is perfect in every conceivable way. I don't understand those people.

 I think hardcore pvp df, mo, fanboys are the type of people who wish they could get drunk and beat people up in fights.  Kinda reminds me of cops when they act all tough. 

All fanboy are the same, they will not listen to different opinions.  There are also flamers who tend to call others fanboy or haters when they are being neutral and objective.  Which I believe to be another form of fanboism, which they try to bash opinions that does not match their own.

There are no better or worse.  People who cannot be reasoned with simply does not accept others as equals.  I been called both a fanboy and hater on plenty of forums before on a few occasions simply stating my own opinions.   Alot of people forget that opinions are subjective.

This is also one of the reasons why we have wars.  Someone always want to be right and in control, and they will defend it even if it means massacre the others.  Look at the middle east and the roots of their dispute is often based on clash of opinions (I.E religions, wealth, policies, etc) before any other factor.

That and the fact when someone says give me this and the other person says no  you have to physically do something.   

WOW probably has the absolute largest number of rabid stereotypical fanboys, but I think that is because the population is so large and so a relatively small relative proportion of fanboys translates into a large absolute number.  In terms of highest relative number of idiot fanboys it has to be DFO obviously.

I think guys like Zorndorf are an exception. Though I think Zorndorf is basically trolling the whole of mmorpg. I have no doubt he really likes WoW but I think he feels its his job to "balance out" the WoW hate on mmorpg. Some of the stuff he writes would get laughed at in WoW.

Start saying that Arena is perfectly balanced in trade chat in WoW like Zorndorf does here and you'll be laughed at and abused.

While WoW fanbois are the worst they arent so much rabid about WoW, but rather ultra critical of every other game.

The typical WoW fanbois strated playing post Burning Crusade and have never played another pay to play mmorpg before WoW. Of course when a new mmorpg is released the fanbois go on attack.

But the hilarious thing is that most of the WoW fanois would not have liked WoW when it was released in late Nov 2004. I suppose thats one of the reasons why WoW has changed so radically from when it was released. To accomodate the masses of people who never even heard of an mmorpg pre-WoW.

It also exaplains why the next WoW expansion will even more resemble a single player game (instanced raids, battlegrounds, arena and phasing being used a great more than WotLK means instanced levelling.)

Sorry, someone was talking about me?

I am somewhat torn in a topic that I shouldn't care about.

There are a lot of games with some pretty rabid fans on this site.  I don't mean fans, but rabid fans.  Like the type that will defend anything a company does no matter how aweful it is. 

Then someone mentioned any pvp player and the hair on the back of my neck stood up.  Suffering through any post about Carebear this, carebear that and how pvp players are true gamers... Ugh, there is nothing worse.
