    now that was an amusing read.

    on the topic of beggars. I personally hate the uncreative ones.
    "Gifv itamz plz!!!!!1" and such.
    make a creative beg attempt, and actually entertain me and I'll be willing to spend a few coins for the time and efford you put into it.

    Yeah like tell a story like how your car broke down and how your from another state (or different server) and you and you wife and four kids are stranded in the big city until you can get a few dollars for some gas to drive back home with.

    And then go get some heroien with the money.

    Lack of RP.  Why do they even call them mmoRPg's.  MMOG is more accurate.

    Leet

    Uncreative names

    random PKing.

    mindless leveling grind

    emphasis on numbers in leveling,  that's so immersive

    You guys don't know how much I agree with all of you, (except the forgein language part. I had to deal with it in Tantra Online. At least they could speak english too).

    Oh man, I really, really, really hate that. In Anarchy Online, a lvl 200 had the nerve to tell me (with my lvl 47 engi) when a RANDOM alien ship is beaming down aliens and that it is a PRIVATE AERA AND ASKING ME TO LEAVE. How pathetic do you have to be to tell that to a lvl 47 when your 200.

    When I asked the guy why, he said nothing so I stuck around and SK his azz (the alien ships are almost like a boss when the beam down the aliens, kinda like 1st hit take all).

    1. People just sending you party requests/trade request and you have no idea who they are. If you want to party at least talk to me first.

    2. Broken english and slang. I have no idea what some people are talking about on line in some games LOL.

    3. KS'ing/Drop stealing. This is very annoying. Sometimes you many kill something and not see another player, it happens. At least say Sorry or something to let them know your not a jerk.

    Most of this has already been covered by others so thats all for me,

    Peace,

    1)  Boring running around.  Why do game designers think that running around everywhere is fun?  It isnt half of the time.

    2)  Non roleplayers.  Why do people play ROLEPLAYING GAMES if they dont roleplay.

    3)  Developers who dont know how to design their code to counter hack's and dupes.  I have not played a multiplayer game that didnt have cheaters.

    4)  Insanely long grinds with not many rewards in between except endless quests and new spells or abilities for every week of grinding.  Not cool.

    5)  Games that dont have PvP.  Why ruin a great game like EVerquest 2 because it doesnt have PvP.  I would probably play it if it did.

    6)  Games like WoW that are NOTHING like the original franchise.  Warcraft I was Awesome.  Warcraft II was even better.  Warcraft III Sucked with its lame graphics.  WoW sucked even more then Warcraft III and thats bad.

    7)  Grouping.  I dont play MMO's to always have to group.  I am a soloist.  I like to play in a MMO world where I can solo and fight other players.  I DO NOT WANT TO GROUP.

    8)  Lag,  I have a 5  MEG cable,  there is no reason I should rubber band or lag.  MMO's generally have unstable servers.

    9)  EXPANSIONS EXPANSIONS AND MORE EXPANSIONS.  UMM HELLO! THE REASON I AM PAYING YOU 14.99$ A MONTH IS FOR YOU TO DEVELOP A GAME,  NOT TO DEVELOP A GAME YOU ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME MORE MONEY FOR. 

    10)  No events,  story or attachment to character.  I have not played a MMO in recent history where I can say there was any frequent events,  story,  or attachment to my character.  My MMO memories are of grinding.  That isnt a good thing.

    Someone thinking you "need help " with the kill and you were just a wee bit away from leveling and help, then they follow you around while you try and finish it up and they are still "helping"

     A mage that yells for that axe and it's his right to roll on it even though the fighter could use it, then seeing that said mage yelling in the auction house "axe" for sale

    Developers pushing a major publish through that 80 percent of the testers said not ready ,not fun,

    none of the high level stuff balanced yet, server down time 20 + hours

    Fighting mobs suposdely on level and get 1 exp point when 450,000 is needed for the box 

    when letting go of the "last mmorpg you played" how much extra time you suddenly find yourself having     (priceless)

    I am not sure you really fully mean all that.  However to be under the obligation to group to achieve anything worth been done is lame and crude.  You really want to have the OPTION to solo and PvP.  However, even in your case, I feel you really like grouping folks, especially when you talk about roleplaying...to roleplay, you need to be with folks to facilitate it.   I am pretty sure you want to group a lot, but to be under the obligation to group is not nice.

     

    If I have to eat chocolate, I will start hating chocolate, even if today, chocolate is my favorite junk food and I think I am kinda addicted to it.  Same happen with grouping.

  • r1tualr1tual Member Posts: 559

    I think I know what I meant when I made my post.  Thanks but no thanks anofayle.

     

    The only time grouping is warranted is in PvP when you are outnumbered you need allies.

    But then you have an unbalanced game of whoever has the most allies or most players in a group will always win.

     

    So I meant what I said.

  • AnofalyeAnofalye Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 7,433

    Oky and sorry!  image

     

    Then if a game can motivated you despite a lack of PvP, I would consider they make a great soloing system for me to be motivated to play while I am LFG!  image

     

    The fact you will be enjoying the game would prolly frustrated a few of the most lamest groupers/raiders(you know, those that are more leeches then players), but not me.  Althought I may try once per 2 month to check if you would not want to give groups a try!  image

     

    So many peoples out there always think in an exclusive way, trying to cater only 1 group(often the meaniest) and after that they complain that the pigs they feed shit on their patio(hell-o Afterlife).

    Im not sure if what you just posted was English but I have a reply anyways image imageimage.

    I hate games like EQ2 for example who specifically tries to defend the idea that "more people want to group".

    I hate when one of their designers comes out and tries to openly defend it.  Saying things like "We made EQ2 this way because we wanted to put the focus of the game on grouping".

    Why would they just put the focus on grouping?

    I dont understand it.  These game designers are not very good.

    I have not seen any good games in the past 10 years except FPS's.  And FPS"s dont have stories really. 

     

    Wing Commander.  Now that was a good game,  I actually was a Terran fighter pilot.  It enveloped my life.  I really knew the story inside and out,  and I really was my character.

    Cant say that for EQ2,  EQ,  Eve,  WoW,  DAOC,  Lineage2,  Planetside,  SWG or any other MMO.  They have sucked.

    Eve Online was the best game,  but that isnt saying much.

     

     

    I live in the US.  I have certain freedoms.  In the US I can go out in my car and go for a solo drive if I want.  I can achieve great wealth and personal achievment in the US as an individual.  There is no limit to what I can achieve.

    Now if I lived in a full blown socialist country then maybe a "grouping only" game would be normal.  I dont live in a full blown socialist country.  I live in a capitalist country.  Being forced to group to achieve my individual goals in a game is not my idea what a world simulation should be.

     

    But on the positive,  all of the crappy video games I have played in the last 5 years has made me pursue the goal of making my own game.

     

    This website is a sad joke really.  All of the talent in the world and these crappy games are the best we canc ome up with.  Its pitiful.

    Maybe everyone is out humping each other,... who knows.

     

     

    Thats all we are is walking whores and murderers.  We dont have any talent for the electronic arts and entertainment.

    Recently started WoW and ´that have revived an old hate from my diblo2 days.

    KIDS that behave like they been raised by Moogli.

    Also I hate, beggars.

    Everyone who ever says Noob to everything, ever, put a gun in your mouth please? ( usually the above mentioned kids )

    People who dont know the difference between gank and PvP, "wanna gank?" is a common question when invited to a duel in WoW, or using Gank as a word for killing anything in any way. ( also the kids, a LOT )

    Did a say missbehaving kids? Cause I HATE them and I am really starting to have doubts about a viable future for this planet. :)

    Next list from me.

    People who think level based games with PvP require actual skill; FPS takes skill, Skill based systems with no levels..takes skill...Level based games..no skill and yes I have played nearly all of them, so if you disagree with me feel free, personally I see all level based pvpers as skillless.

    Kids in Mmorpgs...I dispise children..At least when they are acting like cretins. I have met a handful of mature individual's through my years of mmorpgs, however the number of ones who parents honestly need to take a belt to their ass and teach them the meaning of not being a shithead, far outnumber the others.

    Adults in mmorpgs who act like shitheads...you are an adult for christsake..Act like it. Actually I think this group pisses me off more because they should know better.

    People who whine for PvP in a game were it flatly does not belong..ie: EQ2. This is a raid based game..purly PvE..PvP will do nothing more then imbalance it to appease a select few who are deluded into thinking LvL based pvp is anything but pure crap. You want PvP..go play UO and hound the developers until another Skill based PvP game is introduced..Specifically harass EA, since the next potential great PvP game was Canned in favor of continuing to destroy what was a great game, so that nearly all of their original PVP base has migrated to Freeservers were there are not lame areas like Trammel...Fkin Trammies.

    "Fish Bot Police" Ala FFXI...I never fished with a bot..never saw the need..however this group of people singlehandedly pissed me off in that game more then any group of people ever has. Hell I would rather listen to a 13y/o with a "F" in Grammer, English and spelling rant in OOC in l33t speak all blasted day then ever deal with this group again. There was nothing more irritating then getting a Tell from the "Bot Police" Every fricking 5 minutes asking if Im botting..and Grilling me to see if I repeat myself, and reporting me 2 to 3 times a day forcing me to converse with a GM, just because My character enjoyed fishing..Or of course reporting me when I invariably told them explictly what I thought they should do with their mouse and keyboard, because they have harassed me for the past 4 hours.

    People who whine about coinsellers, without casting an equally critical eye on those that buy it. This hypocritical bunch rates pretty damn high on my moron list as well. I lost count of the number of people I have encountered who will blast those who sell coin on a forum and ingame like they have committed blasphemy, yet I have watched them turn around and Buy it. Of course the ones that their argument boils down to"its not fair", or some other loosly justified and pedantic moral reason grate me just as much. I dispise either group, mostly because in one way or another they are hypocrits. You either Support it fully, are nuetral about it, or are against it..If your against it you better be actively avoiding grouping with those who purchase, guilding or otherwise supporting anyone who buys. Otherwise..shut up, quit whining and come to the realization that dispite the fact that we dont like it, its here to stay. I was part of the group That dispised the carebear crowd that caused Trammel in UO to be made, and games to move to a non pvp system because the majorty didnt think it was fair that someone with more skill then them could kill them. However I was in the group that was outnumbered, thus I resigned myself to..that was the furture of gaming.

    I also am a disliker of the Invites of any kind that just pop up and then they beg you to join. AAARRGG it gets very Annoying even talking about it. I also dislike ppl who beg for items and money. I had to work to get what i have so EARN IT! don't just ask for something play the game get your own stuff! The other thing is ppl who just fly off the handle at any little thing. GET A LIFE!!

    ok time to go .. Play and Have fun and be yourself not the mean self the good self :)

    I dont understand it.  These game designers are not very good.
    While i agree the focus of an MMO should not be grouping, it should always be a part of the game. There should be the same rewards for soloing or grouping so those that don't prefer to group get the same enjoyment out of the game. However, things like dungeon crawls should always be built around grouping.
    I live in the US.  I have certain freedoms.  In the US I can go out in my car and go for a solo drive if I want.  I can achieve great wealth and personal achievment in the US as an individual.  There is no limit to what I can achieve.

    So grouping should only be for killing other ppl in PvP? Doesn't that seem a little one dimensional to you? What's the point of the game being online if the only thing you can do with other ppl is chat? Does the fact that you live in the US (like I do) make you better than everyone else? I dunno, I enjoy the company of others even though I live in this selfish me me me country, too.
    But on the positive,  all of the crappy video games I have played in the last 5 years has made me pursue the goal of making my own game.
    Good luck with that, but I'm sure you will get what you wanted out of an MMO if you made your own. A huge server with no one on it but you....all alone.

    Every post I see from you is just so unessasarily pissed off. Smile man, life isn't that bad.

    What annoys me most...

    1. People who believe they need to cheat in a multiplayer game and defend themselves saying it's not cheating. This includes but is not limited to : buying/selling items out of the ingames' systems, botting, using real life friendships to advance faster, metagaming, bug abusing.

    2. Those that play an mmorpg as a levelgrind and tell me they're "bored". You will often see them whine because they can not hunt in the highest dungeon accesible and just wait for hours as they turn down hunts in a dungeon two levels below.

    3. "The PK attitude", I call it like this because it concerns about 80% of those that love pvp combat in mmorpgs. It's them kids that think nothing in the world is better then to grief another person in an area where pk is activated just because they can.

    The list goes on and on, but we have to live with the flaws of the games we play. It mostly concerns people that are forcing the mmorpg genre in a direction it wasn't meant to go in and make the rp in those games disappear.
