People play for fun and enjoyable experiences, not to be npcs for the "1337 player", give us pros, not cons dude.

    ^this

    Just make you look stupid attacking soloers...srsly

    So, in your mind, people are only "real" to the extent that they associate with you.

    Of course the $15.00 a sociopath pays each month is the same as anyone else's.  But if we consider the percentage of the population, focusing on that market would seem a bit counterproductive.

    But no, just jump to conclusions and outright attack me.



    Because somehow If hit home to the point where people are actually taking their time to attack me because I said bots and soloers are the same.



    It must be somewhat true then or else you would just brush It off, no?



     



     

    Yeah, it's not like there's not a few dozen other posts on here from some pretentions schmuck wanting to dictate how others play, and  how solo-friendly games are the end of all things good.

    I think part of it is that people don't like being compaired to anything negative. With that they will defend themselves or others to put an end to the comparison. Now if you compaired all groupers to something perceived as negative, you know you would get the same response, so don't so shocked.

    Actually there the most sweet, tender heart, loyal and true gamers around. You just deny freedom. Boxed into a level tier contranption, prodigiously templating and min/maxxing stat and gear like a peppercorn fox.



    Go take a look at the WoW solo community.

     

    I do not believe in styles. Only flowing.

    So, if the effects of drinking and driving are the same as soloing in a MMORPG. Does that mean we will hit and possibly kill somebody? I don't get it, oh nvm, I do now, it's not to be understood. You tricky bastard.

    Really? I found the people that solo in wow to be the nicest people in that game. Groupers and raiders on the other hand, are the most unpleasant, selfish and egocentric cunts of all (if you're the exception, good for you). Of course you wouldnt see them this way, considering you are one of them, so there you have it.

    Oh, and Im in your mmo, soloing your mobs, and theres nothing you can do about it (besides cry on the forums). Neener, Neener, Neener! =P

    I 'deny freedom' by thinking that people should be able to play a game however they want?

    That...you saw what I said about douchebags, right?  Is this some clever way of showing that I'm right...or..?

    Actually they are a mixed bag, just like soloers.  A lot of old school gamers cannot accept anyone else's choice of gaming style (sound a bit familiar Astral?). You also have some old school gamers that are kind and helpful. On the other side, you have soloers who refuse to game with anyone, prefering the dont get in my damn way approach. Then you have soloers who only have limited time to play, and cant always join a pug, you know, like people with jobs, family, lives. Since you like to compare people to negatives, allow me.

     

    Old school bitter gamers like astralmystic are like 30 yr old men who live in their mother's basement....wait, they are 30 yr old males who live in their mother's basement.

    And what games do you play?  I'm curious as to what you consider 'real pvp'?

    What is a true solo player? Someone in the prime of his adolescence/early adulthood whose idea of  Saturday evening entertainment is sitting alone at his computer while pretending that running around an online game with his "m8s" constitutes a social life.

    Seriously, could you be any more elitist if you tried? You sit here and attack WoW community for being wannabe elitist due to the style of WoW PvP. Honestly. It is about gaming style and what they enjoy and are used to.

    As for real PVP, which do you mean? Shadowbane? UO? DAOC? I tried them all, and each has their own challenges, as does WoW PVP. Get your head out of your ass and cut off your own elitist BS.

    Now I need to go take a cold shower and scrub the filth off. I feel dirty when I have to defend WoW.

    Assuming things like this about people you will never meet is cool. Also, I think you are exactly what you described in your second sentence. just replace 'true solo player' with 'true group player'. see what I did here?

    I'm almost willing to bet he meant group players, if not it really made no sense, most "true" solo players don't even run around with friends.

    Actually Toquio3, I think Shadewalker was agreeing with you. He was saying a true solo player is someone who sits home alone and does nothing but game with his buddies online and that is only social interaction with people. Basicly the same as my 30 yr old male living in mom's basement comment.

    I guess "I" have to stop assuming people mean exactly what they type =)

    One difference obviously is that some games ban bots, but no one bans soloers.

    One similarity is that neither of them flourish in group based MMOs
