Originally posted by Volkon I agree, But this isn't anything new. People have always commented on things they have absolutely no knowledge about. I remember back in college, Oliver Stone and some of the cast members of his film at the time (think it was Nixon) did an open Q&A. One of the students made a comment on how politcally-sided his film was. Stone looked at the guy and asked "Did you even see the movie?" "No." "Then how can you comment on it? Go see the f*cking film!"
Release a game with a very large established fanbase from 10+ years of bnet history when the market was still emerging and the casual base had not yet been established, thus ripe for harvesting a momentious self perpetuating playerbase people never leave because they have X hours invested in their characters, and their friends and everyone else plays anyway. Not discounting Blizzard quality... but WoW's success is as much about perfect timing as it is quality, if not more so. - Derros |

Sigh! Well English is not my native language and it seems after all these pages I can't make myself understood what my OP was intended to. I try again. Yes I have bashed games before and my reasons were stated for it and I didn't lie like some basher here do to make a point or raddle the cage. My OP was intended for those who write their reasons for not liking the game and telling the truth what they didn't like, many have wrote what they felt like in good manner but got shot down anyway by fanbois this was my intent to write this and say It's ok not to like it for that reason. Then there are haters/basher to post lies like some people have sead that you get all your skills at lvl 5, or there is no exploration everything is marked on the map or It's a WoW clone or every classes is exactly the same, ect. When I bashed TOR I had legit reasons you can just read from that guy who did a post history on me and read it and if TOR is not what I wrote back then then ok I'll apology for it and my use of words. But I guess this respons will get twisted around anyway so why bother.

Originally posted by Torgrim Some people confuse opinions with facts. People who simply bash (and even lie about) a game are a blight on forums. These same people get warnings and bans feign innocence or say "just giving my opinion" when all they were doing was slandering. If someone doesn't like the art, combat, structured pvp, crafting, or whatever - there is nothing wrong with that. Howver, they should be prepared to discuss WHY they feel that way instead of simply stating it as fact. It's the people who just spout out slanderous disinformation in a blatant attempt to skew the undecided against a game - that's the problem. It's frustrating to see countless forum posts filled with opinion disguised as facts just for the single purpose of hurting a game's reputaiton. If you go by what's posted here, you'd think that WoW was the single worst MMO ever created when reality simply doesn't bear this out. Anyone who's seen the movie "Idiocracy" will recognize this type of logic in the courtroom scene where the man is explaining his case but nobody will listen because they are just making fun of the way he talks. The court didn't care if he was right, they just all wanted to look cool. It's funny because it happens more than we realize. If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

Originally posted by NBlitz So... it's OK if people are lying about the game and have no actual working knowledge of the game because, well, it happens in other games too? Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying... |

Originally posted by NBlitz But to bash over and over and over - I just don't get it People who bash like that have a lot invested in the bashing - I don't get why. What do they get if they are proven right? The smug satisfaction? Proven wrong, well, they just keep repeating the same nonsense as if they keep saying it, then it has to be true.
I agree with Torgrim and Volkon. |

Originally posted by NBlitz Nah, I only disappear when I'm in game.
Although... sometimes I'll make a couple clones then disappear. However I've also been known to make a clone while disappeared as well. Of course... I could make a clone, a phantasm, disappear, make another clone, reappear, blow up the clones, make another one and disappear again. OR... I could make a clone, pretend to disappear by imitating a second clone, dodge to create an actual second clone then disappear... |

Originally posted by Roxtarr Very true not only do they state disinformation, but some haters actually know the information is not correct but because they hate the game they are going to agree regardless. There was a good example of that on the thread about what game you hate because of the fans.
Also am I the only one who is seeing hyporcites(Not everyone though) point out Torgrim about being a hyporcite. Which is why I find it moot but I could be wrong, if I am I don't mind, maybe it's good to inform him though.
Honestly what he said applies to all games, you can check my record if must but it's why I don't fuck with other game forums that don't pertain to my needs, like a lot of haters of many games (SWTOR,TERA, WOW, GW2, and etc) swear on their lives that they don't like said game but will return in a few weeks and state their bullshit again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, and a fucking gain. Some times I be like "Shut the fuck up and live life, your game is supposely out, why do you give two shits about this game?" Then for those that don't have a game but swear they don't care about said game, bullshit all the time, it's funny to cause it they act as id the shit will stick, if one really doesn't like the game why must one remind every single forum user almost daily at the very least weekly that he doesn't like the game. Lol don't let me get started on those fake ass posters who [act] like they concerned for a game that not too long ago they where posting their dislike for it or dis intrest in it lmfao. Now the irony is I say this like the shit I say may one day stick, which might not happen, but eh I'll bite the bullet for expressing my two cents on this thread since it's in the game forum of the game I digg, and yes the OP should also take that advice IMO, as he did bash SWTOR, though those exposing him do the same exact shit too hahahaha.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |

Originally posted by RizelStar Yeah it is true but only when you are in defense of your precious MMO. I wonder where all this reasonable thinking and prudence nature disappears when same people who are on soap box right now were busy bashing other MMOS on this website. (and oh boy some of you have been really busy ripping every other MMO apart before GW2 release). If you bothered to read OP you would notice that people are not denying the message given by OP but from whom it is coming from. No body likes double standards and hypocricy. |

Why is this even still open? It's basically just an attack on one poster, it's barely even about games now.
no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by botrytis Let me post a quote and ask you a question? If this game is the new AAA standard im all done with the genre. This game is not made for 18+ or 16+ it's frikkin made for 10 year olds and StarWars fanatics. wtf was in Bioware/EA minds when they made this. This game should be a prim example how NOT to make a so called AAA MMO.
Now does this really appear to be critisism of a game based on working knowledge of the game or does it appear more like the average bash anyone whose never actually played the game could make. You know like the GW2 bashing that happens that you hate so much. No actual reason just statements of opinion which may or may not be true but which are stated as fact. granted he didn't state any lies but thenhe didn't state any fats or reasons either just as far as i can see opinions. Yes this was a post Torgrim made (You know the guy you say you agree with) and in his defense let me say (A) the post was from some years ago, so maybe he's a bit wiser now, and (B) yes several times we all get frustrated (everyone myself included) and make statements we later regret, or at least see as less level headed then we would have liked. Point being if your gonna condem people for posting such bashes against GW2 then also acknowledge that its not right for it to happen to other games as well. No ones exactly innocent here, and GW2 is no more persecuted then any other game. (many of which it seems are being bashed by the same GW2 fans that say its wrong for GW2 to be bashed in such a fashion) The old saying don't throw stone when you live in a house of glass come to mind. For what its worth my apologies to Torgrim if it appears i've been picking on him. Just a caase of him trying to make a positive thread but his past post history coming back to haunt him. Probably could have happened to many of us here. To those how have never posted a bash without some kinda of reasoning and facts to back it up my hats off to you. While this is a interesting thread its probably reach its limite of usefullness. People do have dual standards when it comes to things they like and don't like probably willnever change
