The negativity on the forums is staggering. It seems to me that the posts that gets that get the most responses are the ones where the gaming industry or the players are being criticized.
think I'am lying, check out the three most popular posts right now.
Identity crisis(325 comments)- somebody saying TESO is jst a reskin of of dark age of camelot
Do i really need be leet(190 comments)- somebody critisizing guild wars role system and then offering a poll,asking which role you prefer
If you dont like the holy trinity,come up with something better (172 comments)-instead of critisizing a game or the industry , the user is crticizing the players. he is saying that players should stop complaning about the holy trinity(dps,tank,healer) if they cant come up with something better
Cheer up guys, the gaming industry isn't that bad. We have seen major improvements over the years. You cant tell me the industry has gone backwards in terms of development,
guild wars 2, WOW and TERA are much than swg,everquest and ultima online. take off your nostalgia tinted glasses and be happy, we are moving in the right direction but it will take time
Yeah the community here can be pretty pathetic at times. There is nothing wrong with good heated discussion, the problem with This site (Lke many other social Media sites) is it's full of mentally ill Drama Queens and Emotional people who really can't handle it when someone else thinks diffierntly then you do (What you have probably already seen in this topic), these people take posts out of context underlining one part of a sentence because they can't comprehend, or are to lazy to read the entire post, or simply take things too a personal level simply and attack you because someone has a differn't opinion then you do. You will find Most of the Users (like me) who used to use this site don't bother to really post in these forums that much anymore because of this.
You can post topics in this forum about having an opinion on a game with a complete respect for the others who don't agree with you, but then overly emotional people saying your verbally attacking them simply because you have a differn't opinion then them. It's childesh and Immature, and unfortunitly you will be banned for almost anything here as well, even if you are having an intellectual discussion with others.
MMO'S are getting better, they just cant repoduce the same feeling you got when you played your first mmorpg..
Not reproducing the feeling playing a MMO, does not equal you needing to like something that is garbage.
I loved UO/EQ, still found MMOs I loved 10 years after UO....Last 6-8 years has mostly been trash.
If I was too jaded from my first love, how could I like something 10 years later...It's a nice theory, but no.
Sorry that I like quality crafting/harvesting, non-instanced housing, solid pve/pvp, and even player economies, while I dislike over instancing, something that is too railed/quest hubbed, daily checklists, feeling like I am playing a lobby mmo.
IF you like what I call junk, be happy, and have fun, not sure why you care or are here posting if those games are so great, would think you would be busy playing them...Could it be you are bored of the mighty GW2 and on here looking for a different game to play?

Worse for who? What you like and what the next person likes might not be the same thing. MMO gamers need to understand this.
And should we stay silent despite modern MMOs getting better every year?
You have over 9,600 posts. We don't have to worry about you being silent.

Well hey, I had a year head start. I can think of one other new poster who will likely eclipse me in a far shorter time if she keeps up her present pace.

I am positive that there is something wrong in modern gaming development. There use to be a desire to excel and strive for more, instead a lot of games are pushed out before they are ready and companies are getting greedy.... really greedy. What use to be a nice perk of being invited into a beta for a game is now auctioned off to the ones that are willing to pay out real money for a small status item.
I am positive that games like GW2, ESO, and possibly Archage may swing the momentum around, but only time will tell. I have not been horribly dissapointed in the games that have come out, but there are more and more of them that show signs of things to come and it does not look good from this gamer's perspective.
