Originally posted by Psychow I get most of my warnings a day or two later anymore. I'm pretty sure people just go through my post history looking for things to report because they don't like some of my opinions. Also, I hope it really bites their collective ass I still post here. |

I don't see any more but certainly no less fanboism for GW2 thna I've sene on these boards for any newly released game.The perception of their being more or less is mostly to do with the bias of the reader. These forums inparticular are a haven for extreme and unbending views on every MMO in existence. If you aren't enjotying reading something...don't read it.

Originally posted by Ausare This ^^ Because heaven knows the GW2 fans can''t stand anything less then glowing praise of GW2. Have a negative on any point or detail, small or large and you'll be told "Good luck in your next game, now shut up and stop posting because we love GW2 and we don't want to hear it." (the GW2 fan will then cover ears while say NahnANAhnAh, and close eyes. ie hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.) |

I don't know. It's pretty bad and for me, thus far my ONLY real criticism of my GW2 experiece.
Isn't that weird? I dont' have a real criticicm of the actual game, but some of the people surrounding it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and detracts from my enjoyment.
I haven't seen this type of frenzy ever. On any product, let alone a MMO. (Wait, maybe a sports team has the same crazy fanatical fans) |

You know what's the funniest thing about these posts. As soon as the date for GW2 launch became clear, suddenly ALL MEMORY of EVERY fanboi post for SWTOR, TSW, TERA etc etc all disappeared. It's like people think that the fanboism of GW2 outclasses every single one of those. How quickly people forget. Notably SWTOR, they even had people who were supposed to act professionally being biased about SWTOR simply because of the SW part.

Reading these forums is like reading a book but not being able to turn the page........ ever.
no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Interestingly enough, the ratio of threads bashing GW2 and its community compared to the frothing fanboi threads are about 7 to 1 (60% of this value was made up on the spot) I'm pretty sick of it myself, but, to each thier own... |

Originally posted by itgrowls Must respectfully disagree with you on this. I think the reason so many people are so passionate about discussing preceived flaws with this game is EXACTLY due to remembering how fan hysteria (and developer arrogance in some cases) turned a blind eye to the flaws, and spawned incredible false hopes, in ALL those earlier games. Which in the end had a terrible impact on those games.

Originally posted by Psychow Well you and the OP are welcome to your opinion of course but my perception is a little different. I will qualify my original post by saying whislt there aren't anymore fanbois for GW2 than other games ont hese forums....they are more easily baited and thin skinned.Because of this there are more people willing to troll these easy targets and bring them out.Which to be totally honest amuses me and they kind of deserve. |

Originally posted by Tardcore You just proved my point. I do hope you see that. It was also my point that GW2's fanboism isn't anywhere near as epic as SWTOR's and that's what people with these threads are implying that GW2's exceeds SWTOR's somehow. False claims are false claims. |

Originally posted by Eir_S Spot on good sir.
Example: I don't think I can take It anymore, the total and complete obsession with MMO 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 MMO 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 RACE zone was artistically similar to MMO RACE 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.
Oh Em Gee, I've read this post before! Yeah, it was that one person ripping into TERA, wait no it was SWTOR... doh! wrong again because I'm pretty sure it was Rift, wait no I mean STO. Geh, I'm getting sick of being wrong.
Oh yeah, the original I read was clearly talking about WoW. Duh... how stupid of me. Of course! it was WoW... being the first MMO ever made and all. ... but wait, where did that post say WoW was inferior to? BAH! F if I know anyome. We really need separate forums for every newly launched game. There can be the anti-<MMO> one and there can be the 'what general discussion should be' one. All the lamenting can happen together where each can find solace in like minded can't-move-on-ers leaving the rest of us to actually move forward and discuss meaningful and relevant topics. |

Originally posted by Cavod Yep my favorite is where they throw out there that anyone who disagrees with the endless "it fails" threads are zombies, drones, borg, or any other insult they can find to strawman classify someone into a corner which usually only occurs when their argument is nullified by some fact or bit of logical reasoning. When you're wrong you're wrong descenters, just move on and the world will continue turning just like it does with the DE's in GW2. |

Originally posted by chrisatron Stop right there. This is EXACTLY the same as other games on this forum, you think this is new to GW2? It stems back to WoW. Been this way for years, this is nothing new. Im afraid your simply trolling and making personal attacks on players who like this game because a few disagree with your opinion and now your crying about it. You criticise "fanbois" for being "hateful" but your doing just the same by making this thread. The sad thing is your crying in the pub forum where likely you think less GW2 fans will find it, if you have something to say about GW2, post it in the GW2 forums. If the forums are too much for you, may i suggest not posting. Is it really so important that you have your say on a forum no-one really gives a damn about in the grand scheme of things if it upsets you so much? Forums aren't serious, most people post crap on a forum they would never dare to say irl. Take it for what it is, a bit of fun. |
