STO Worst Community Ever

Another complain about the complainers thread. I like how the OP get's stomped for it! Some other new guy comes in and adds such a demeaning comment and then is put in his place. Epic!

Forums maybe, but AoC I heard all about bad community and players. Both games, STO and AoC I've had a postive experience in game. What goes on in the forums is different in game, in my opinion. AoC once you turn off general chat find a good guild the game is a lot of fun.
In STO the general chat has been pretty good and helpful. A few asshats will chime in here and there but from my experience in past MMOs they are always there.

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
Sorry but Halo still holds the record for worst game community, both in game and on the forums. Visit the bungie.net forums and you can actually feel your IQ dropping steadily. In game you can expect a near constant barrage of racism, homophobia and anti-semetism by 12 year olds who have no idea what they are talking about yet think it's somehow cool to be a colossal bigot.

The ingame community was good with many helpful people. The only incident I ran across was during the OB event after announcing I wasn't impressed. I was told to eat $&^& and die.
Ingame community is awesome considering that a lot of players who play on daily basis do not even visit forums.
I'd have to agree.STO has the worst community I'v eencountered in an MMO with CO only marginally behind,of course in both games you can just ingore the whole community as there is no real need to group or trade at all.
I never experienced anything bad from the community in the time I played it. Most everyone was helpful and were a joy to play with. The boards were a different story, but they aren't representative of the games community.
The worst MMO community for me is stil SWG, both in game and on the forums. I've never met a bigger group of exploiters and elitists in my entire gaming life as I did in the game. At least that is how it was on Corbantis.
Currently Playing: World of Warcraft
I agree, although I do not like nor play the game anymore. The community in this game I personally didn't come across any more nor less 'jerks' than I have in any other community. People were generally helpful in the general zone channel.
What is actually lacking is any real community cohesion or group working. But obviously you can't blame that on the community. The reasons for that have been discussed numerous times in other posts, and I will not repeat them here.
Old School SWG - "I paid you 1,000,000 credits not for you to slice my Krayt weapon for me... I paid you 1,000,000 credits to give it BACK to me."
For AoC while the general chat resembled most other MMOs, and the forums got quite toxic, the community depended on which server you were on; Cimmeria was bad, while Wiccana had a great community. To be fair, it's like that in most games. Well, not the single server ones due to obvious reasons; in those you are pretty much stuck with whatvere community is there.
"Oh my, how horrible, someone is criticizing a MMO. Oh yeah, that is what a forum is about, looking at both sides. You rather have to be critical of anything in this genre as of late because the track record of these major studios has just been appalling." -Ozmodan
found the community very helpful in game when i played, you had to be because most of the game didnt work. which leads to the forums.... which is a horrible place (very entertaining though). most of the discord on teh boards from what i saw was either directed ar cryptic/atari and there employees, or the lts attacking people for being honest about how lousy things were in game. id gladly go back next weekend to see if i can post on there forums, but i wont even download the client to see whats happened in the game.(ive seen the posts from cryptic themselves and they havent even mentioned most of the things that made me quit, doubt there going to fix them before they move on to another game) sto's forums are hilarious, but the games......whats a word for worse than horrible.
as ive said on many posts here... the only real pvp in sto happens on there forums, and its way more entertaining than the game.
IF THE ONLY DEFENCE FOR CRITICISM OF A GAME IS CALLING SOMEONE A TROLL OR HATER, THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE GAME
Personally I find that WoW community, in and out of game, the worst I have encountered.. The reasons have been well documented and explained by hundreds of others over the years.. Tis a shame too.. but a classroom is only as roudy as the teacher will let them.. So which is more important, dealing with obnoxious people, or watching good MMO players leave the game? It's all about the almighty $ , and I think we know which parth Blizzard (the teacher) follows..
I am not going to refer to STO since I haven't played but CO community has settled pretty nicely. I think most of the conflicting people went to STO or quit altogether. Nowadays, CO forums are pretty constructive, people gets answers to their questions and the amount of trolling and flames has been reduced to marginal levels. I would compare it to CoH community with the difference that CoH community is more consolidated and there are more in-game tools to foster it.
Wow community is probably one of the worst I have seen if not the worse, I highly doubt that STO community can be any worse
Misspoke did not realize you were the ranking cdf on these forums.
Wtf is CDF? and how the hell can i derail the topic? it was derailed the moment someone mentioned WOW on STO forums. You need to read carefully or understand what derailing the topic means/
i can call you troll and what not but i won't stoop to your level.
the game sucks. period.
The forums are the best part of the game, so you better appreciate the "bad" forum community
.
To answer your first question, the CDF stands for the Cryptic Defense Force. It refers to people who so fervently favor Cryptic that they will even rabidly attack posts that offer constructive ideas, if the CDF even think the post is even slightly critical of Cryptic.

Looks like there are members of the WDF too.. LOL
You never played on the pvp servers in Conan.
Meh... I wouldnt call the STO forums the "community", as only the same troll slaying opinion critisizing fanboys frequent the STO forums these days it seems. I would call it Club CDF. I wouldnt say its the worst community ever though. Im finding the Star Craft 2 forums very amusing to read, as there is MUCH negativity and poo flinging going on there. It was probably this way for a long time, but its even worse now. Its fun to read.
I haven't really noticed a community ingame.
But if they are talking outside the game, they are either new to mmo's or being disingenuous. Because I have seen much, much worse. And outside of gaming forums, the comments on youtube and foxnews are much worse.
Good lord, aint that the truth. I make it a point to not read comments on youtube cause, well.... I think you know why.
Ow... ow... ow...
It is my opinion, that your opinion is incorrect.
GTA4 online play is rife with negativity as well. Sometimes I get tired of listening to it. Other times it is as entertaining as the game itself.
Here is a perfect SATIRE example of a bad community

When the devs admit to and joke about a community issue should be noitice you have a problem
I will say the best community that I 've experienced to date is LoTRO 
BTW.. how many noticed the acronym of EPEEN.. and do you know that that actually means? lmaoooo
Don't think anyone can beat community of Eve Online. Also forums are bad way to judge in game community. Not all those who play post on forums.
