    Honestly, some people have a right to do so.

     

    Look at Everquest and Lineage 2.

    They still promote it and tell people it's an MMO where you can do this and that.

     

    When people buy the game for the full price, buy 1 month sub on top of that,  log in, and see nothing but empty zones and a few multiboxers and a few hackers, do you feel they "whine"?

    When they pay for AoC and the game does nothing but give an error and doesn't even run for some? They "whine"?

     

    It's normal some people have a pessimistic outlook in regards to MMO.

    Some people have a right to whine, in moderation. But everywhere I look there are whiny posts - this update was bad, that update ruined the game, blah blah blah. Sometimes it's ok to step back and be thankful you've got MMOs, a broadband connection, and a puter to start with.

    Yes, they do whine too much but you're whining about them whining, see you cannot stop the fact that they whine, all you can do is whine with them. In truth everyone shouldn't whine, but they just want to be heard. They'll find the LITTLIST thing to complain about and rip their hearts out to make them sound right. I know WAR will be my fav. MMO so far or I wouldn't spend over 100$ to get it. You guys may want your little kiddy game, I don't care, I just want you to shut up, that won't happen tho so....I'm glad you won't be in WAR :)

    For the moment, at least, we're all whining in the same place about people whining :)

    The only issue with all the pessimisim is that every day 10 threads pop-up with the same complaints, it just feels like needless use space, time, and bandwidth since there's generally already another thread available to voice the problem in and discuss it.

    Let it be known that I hate WoW with a passion and will defend almost any MMORPG against it.

    problem is this the only genre where a dev can totally nerf the hell out of your character and give you the middle finger.

    In every other genre, you can start your own server or refuse to update to the patch

    This the only one I know of where you have no choice but to just take it

     

    What can the fans do but vent? I suppose they could just quit the game and of course come here and vent. That is how many of us landed here at mmorpg.com. Cause we came here bitter, jaded, and in desperate search of another MMO to give us our 'fix' heh

    I know, most of them just post because they don't know how reply to anything of what they just said. So they post it again and try to sound as intelligent as possible. You can never be intelligent until you actually accept someone's opinion. I have and all I got was some crap about a game they never played :/

    Too many disappointments as of late would make anyone feel skeptical about mmos.

    Well yeah pretty much everyone is but no one who complain gets it! They're taking them out so that they don't have BROKEN or UNPOPULAR-NOT GOOD ENOUGH CONTENT. You'd be worse getting that then have it at all IMO. Would you go through patch after patch to fix something that will never be fixed anyways? Instead of just get over with it. Say you have a broken tooth...you can either cement it or you can get it taken out...well it seems your tooth has so much bacteria that it could cause serious mouth problems. What do you do? You take it out. The broken, not good enough content is that bad tooth. SERIOUS problems!!!

     

    Note: I'm not mad, I'm actually really calm, I just want you flamers to shut up! lol

    - need for attention, again - I know, I said id above, but I think that's one of the main points
    - it's becoming some sort of forum-sport to be the troll
    - valid concerns
    .... and so on

    Agreed. It's a b*&%. I just saw the DC Universe trailer, found it great and went to the forum to comment... And the only thing I see is hate, mainly against SOE. It's a b*&%.

    I guess these trollers are unhappy people that want to make others feel as bad as they feel. Some call that "losers".
