Sick and tired of fanboi ranting

herculeshercules Member UncommonPosts: 4,925

WoW and EQ2.Which will flop if the fanbois make enough noise.

Answer none.Both will sell huge and i mean huge .Pre orders alone has confirmed this.

So why do fanbois feel the need to bash both games often with posting lies.I have been in beta of both for months so i can tell the lies easy thank you.

Why do people think there is a dire need to promote their game over the other?

If WoW sells 700,000 copies and EQ2 sells 600,000 copies does it make a difference to the fanboi?

No.Because i doubt most of us own shares in blizzard or SoE.From a player point of view the servers will be crowded anyhow so there is no difference to you.

So please stop trolling boards .Yes everyone has a right to their opinon but it is getting irritating espically when you know jack about the other game and are just posting second hand information or total lies.

    Fanboys are everywhere (not just in games).

    Just learn to smack them around when they say stupid stuff and move along. :)

    Yup. You can even find fanbois in everything from football to religion. My god/team is better than your god/team!

    Everquest fans seem to be more intelligent IMO, world of warcraft fans call people who like EQ2 stupid or gay lol its hilarious read the hype section for both games, if you dont see a difference in the intelligence of the posts, you probably have world of warcraft wallpaper in your room image

    I agree with the original poster 100%. There is no need to preach about which game is better than the other. Everyone can make up their own minds. If you feel the need to share some insight in a mature fashion, than please do. But to come out and bash the other game because you personally do not like something about it is dumb. Completely dumb and childish. Leave it in the bag and don't release the stupidity that a lot have in the past. image

    I agree with you, but you might as well try talking to a brick wall.

    No, WoW fans are the smartest. EQ 2 fans are inbred chimps with learning disabilities. image

    Some are funny and make me laugh. Then there are those gayish minor freaky fan boy types. Like lets take second life members and There members. Second Life members dont even play There and know nothing about it. But they act like they have. Then they go off and tell lies and just down right not right info. But There members have played SL before and hate it. They say stuff that is true. So the SL members are those gayish minor freaks. Anyone agree with me?

    You know, throughout the years, I've learned how to take care of fanboys...

    Just leave them alone.

    They hunger for people to get mad at them for they are immature, stupid and deliquant, they want the attention.  They are simple minded, which is why they will honor the game they think they will love and dis whatever opposes it.

    Kind of stupid eh?  But don't blame them, most of them are in highschool or gradeschool because no adults are that immature unless they are still simple minded as an adult.

    But if you really want to shut them up, ask them why, try to get an argument going.  You will see, as soon as you ask them "Why does (insert name) suck compared to your (insert name) game you love so much?" if they give stupid reasons, they will just embarass themselves.

    Or just don't reply, let their thread die off and it will disapear eventually.

    Ya know what annoys me....people who assume that someone is a fanboy because someone likes WoW or EQ2 and voices their opinion. Maybe some people just want to bring to light ideas that other people haven't considered. People just assume that anyone who states their opinion one way or the other is a fanboy. I also love the superiority complex that some people have by degrading fanboys. While it is annoying to have a mindless supporter blabbering at you it doesn't make them stupid or immature unless they do something stupid and immature. However, some people still feel it is neccessary to degrade them. Which makes me wonder, are those people just fanboys of another side?

    And remember, fanboys go both ways.

    That's also a good point.  I see many people get attacked and called fanboys for voicing a well thought out opinion or criticism.  However, it's usually fanboys doing the attacking simply because they don't like the opinion or criticism.  Most non-fanboys understand the concept of ad hominem argument and don't do it.

    I'm afraid it does, nearly by definition.

    While I understand your point, once they start "mindless blabbering" they have done something stupid.

    In a few weeks, all this will be past us. People will stop (mostly) the blabbering, and others will regain some of their tolerance.

  • herculeshercules Member UncommonPosts: 4,925

    There is a clear difference when someone comes out and say something like "i found the crafting system to be too stressful  and time consuming in game A compared to game B as game B has done it in so and so fashion and game B has done it in so and so fashion".

    Once in a blue moon someone goes into details and you can clearly tell this chap has played both games to an acceptable level he can give a good opinon even if he maybe biased he has taken time to see what is what and post it.

    However this are  totally rare post 99.9% are "game A sucks bad game B rocks ".Often the topic has nothing to even do with game B but some fanboi had to rush in and post this.

    It is just irritating and gives a bad impression of that community if they do this and drives people away rather then gain support for that game.

    As someone who is planning to buy WoW and EQ2 i have to say as things stand i like both games but may make my final decision based on the community level of maturity.

    Yeah - got to agree there - if 'mindless blabber' doesnt fit the definition of stupid, what does???

    As for all this stopping in a few weeks (I assume you mean with game release)  it may stop here at MMORPG but the same fools will be in the games!! Is it any wonder the devs keep putting off release?

  • DienekesDienekes Member Posts: 484

    Well by mindless I mean they are so sucked into their beliefs that they don't put thought elsewhere. Which may make them ignorant but not stupid. ::::28::

    I disagree. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. Stupid and mindless is a lack of intelligence. You can fix ignorance. Stupid is forever!

    Ok so you are sick and tired of them? Maybe you can be sick of the ones who make flame threads but hating them in general is stupid. If you do not like them then ignore them it never hurts anyone to not read a thread called "EQII SUCKS WoW ROCKS"

    I don't think anyone said they "hate" anyone.  It's just fanboys are like a bunch of gnats buzzing around your head while you're trying to do something - in this case, exchange and discuss game information.  They contribute nothing, and probably actually discourage people from playing the game they advocate.  When I see 90% of the fanboys lined up on one side, I can't avoid taking that into consideration for future game choices, because I would prefer to be in a game which has the fewest such people.

  • Nimrod4154Nimrod4154 Member Posts: 864
    Well what is your idea of a fanboy? Mine is anyone who is super hyped for an upcoming release or super addicted to a game. What about the positive fanboysimage?(WoW Positive fanboys unite)

    Give up. They don't understand some people are frustrated and is ranting.. They want to call people fanbois... More power to them. Makes it easier.
