it is considered trolling/bad to post a comment like "this game sucks" without providing any reasons why you feel this way. I think this is a reasonable rule as this is a discussion forum and simple posting opinion without reason doesnt really allow for discussion.
why doesnt this rule apply to people who post "this game is awesome", "best gaem eva!111", "this game is great" without posting reasons as to why?
Not sure if this has been mentioned in the replies.
Yet it is customary, when making a negative critisism about something to point out the faults that brought to this negative critisism so it can then be addressed or improved.
Let me make an example, you see a player fighting in a a battleground, or arena or even a raid, or not even an MMO, you see a baseball player or football player that by their actions gets a great score, killing alone 5 other player or hiting homeruns or being nimble and avoiding to be stoped by others.
Saying "This player is awesome" implies that you are giving positive critique to what they actually just did and the way they did it. There is really not much else that is required to be said. Saying why is optional.
If you say "this player sucks", it is customery to say why, for instance, He did not use X skill when Y situation happened so he lost, or he went left when it was obvious he should have gone right, or he missed to hit the ball because he hdid not hold the baseball bat properly. So there is always something required to be said to justify the reasons which made you feel they "sucked"... this way they can learn from it correct it and not "suck" next time, or in the case of a game after a series of patches.
The base principle here is that, no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, even Devs creating Games, but everyone should have the opportunity to correct their mistakes. A saying goes: It is ok to make mistakes as long as we learn from them, but often we learn from them by others pointing out the reasons.
Saying "this game sucks" is similar as saying "you made a mistake", but when you do not say what the mistake was, then how can we expect the person to correct it?
Think about it, if your teacher at school handed you your homework with just the grade and without telling you where your mistakes were, how are you going to learn and improve? So the teacher says, "your homework sucks" but they also tell you why. Same applies here too.

Because its never just one post, you guys who hate games like GW2, keep making thread after thread trying to convince people of your opinions.
I find it hard to believe you dont understand this....lol
This didn't really happen that much prior to some of the cash shop leaks. Before that it was almost universal knowledge on these forums that if you played GW2 long enough you would p*ss beer and sh*it rainbows. Alot of it has to do with how some (not all or even most) of the more hardcore GW2 fans go to other games forums, especially SWTOR prior to release and TERA now and crap all over those games. It brings those games fanbois on over to crap on GW2 as "revenge." Though why someone would need revenge in a game forum, I have no idea. But anyone that couldn't see this coming...I don't really know what to say to them.

because "this game sucks" is usually followed by "and you're an idiot if you like it."
Damn it, that's not appropriate!

my view = fact
your view = subjective unless its my view as well.
That is how forum pages work
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

It was better summed up by the late great George Carlin. "My shit is stuff, your stuff is shit."
