Title says it all. I have notices a lot of disgruntled people on forums. I'd like to know exactly how many are mad at all mmorpg's or just certain ones.
Are you onto something or just on something?

If OP changed it to "MMO" instead of "MMORPG" then I would go with Neutral... some good, some bad, new QoL features balance out cash shop nonsense for example. Being charitable tonight, most of time I would say Bad overall.
And that answer is for Western MMOs only... I do not generally play Eastern MMOs at all and not fair for me to vote on them.... not that they're bad, just not my style.
I do not see anything Triple A coming our way but perhaps something will instead of disappoint perhaps surprise us.I am of course talking the main reason this site started mmorpg's .I know the division will excite a lot of people but from the mmorpg front perhaps COE ,i expect mediocrity from Pantheon and less than that from CU.However if they want to surprise me and knock my socks off,go for it,i am ready to spend some money.

24 days is my countdown before I complete an epic feat. 5 years straight since the last time anyone could open my wallet...for a new game.
That says pretty much everything.
MMORPGs used to be that there was no quest or any objective besides grinding to the next level. If you released a MMORPG from ten years ago today it would be a joke. Peoples expectations of what a MMORPG could be "a living breathing changing world where anything can happen and nothing stays the same" has not come closer than to what is possible today.
It's a shame when a game like Archeage. A game that is fundamentally good is ruined by a bad monetization system. There was no need for that. But besides that, if you took that game and released it 10 years ago, it would have blown the socks of everyone.
You have to go back to UO and MUDs to see what was lost. In those old games you could do anything, but the introduction of 3D brought a lot of limitations on what could be done, and eventually we ended up with themepark and instanced content. Ideas that go completely against the concept of a MMORPG.
But be you for themepark or sandbox, the slate of MMORPGs today are superior to those in the past. What is not superior though is the lack of community building. "a game is only as good as the people you're playing with". Games feel pointless when you dont feel meaning in it, but playing with friends can give great meaning. Its why people play bad games for years. because their friends make it fun. community, community, community.
In fact, playing in an instance is no different than playing a single player campaign that allows for online co-op.

Lately I've been playing Blade & Soul and it's a surprising nice game, great character customization, at least the main story is voiced, graphics aren't great but not bad either, and the combat is pretty good. Easily customization of UI and more. Flagged PvP (put on a red or blue outfit flags you) so not forced.
So it's a bit like marriage. The ones that last are the ones in which both people are willing to make compromises and not insist on the other partner meeting all of your personal preferences, and realizing that life is change and that everyone needs room to grow.
Not enough time in the day now.

The poll isn't going to reveal anything when it's front loaded.
A good poll to have on a site like this would be:
"Which car battery do you prefer most when buying a new battery?"
Why? Because NO ONE even discusses that here ad nausea like the question you just asked. You'd actually find out something NEW with your poll.
Well thanks for the negativity and throwing up all over the thread. The poll is accomplishing exactly what I wanted it to. If you want to know what car battery players prefer then I already did that.

This poll is trying to figure out why 33% of the votes went to "other". I thought it might be the fact that people are unhappy with the current state. And well the votes on this poll are showing that players indeed are.
I dont expect anything from current MMOs. They are a stinking pile of crap, not worth anyones time. Unsurprisingly they easily manage to live up to such low expectations.
Exceptions are few. EVE for example seems to be alright, all things considered, even if its no game for me.
For a game for myself I have some hopes for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, but it seems to me that that game will be far too much EQ and not enough Vanguard. A step backward in gameplay, instead of further forward.
Frankly I dont want a slow combat system with few abilities and downtime in 2015. Doing absurdities like sitting down during combat if you're healer and stuff like that. And thats exactly what I had in Lineage 2 (minus the ability limit) and managed to leave behind with Vanguard, and dont ever want to tolerate again.
Actually I think I might even enjoy L2 classic more than Pantheon. Since yes idiotic stuff like the sitting down part would be there, but at least no artificial limit to number of abilities. And some L2 classes, I actually miss them. Most definitely the Tyrant. No other monk class was ever like the L2 Tyrant. They just dont have the variance and special abilities of that class. It was huge fun.
They're wallowing in boredom.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
So yep, got my money's worth from almost all of the purchases. Hellgate: London didn't deliver, and a couple of other titles were minor disappointments. But no tears or nerdrage.
