Dear chocolate lovers, would you please stop coming over to the peanut butter forums raving about your delectable processed cocoa treat? We here at the peanut butter forums enjoy our own, deliciously nutty flavors - so you'd better just leave well enough alone and bugger off!
What can we possibly accomplish by discussing or combining these two treats in one singular conversation?
As a "hater" of both games, and someone who has frequented this site almost every day in the last couple of weeks, I can say that in my opinion GW2 has a sub group of fans who are far more arrogant and vitriolic than the TSW equivalent. There are a few repeat offenders, one of whom is in this thread, who can't stop stating how good GW2 is; blatently, on every sub forum they go on. The only person close to that level of douchebaggery I see coming from the TSW corner is Bcbully.
You guys should have a best out of 3 match on TF2 to decide who has the better game.
Use the block feature..trust me it works great. I know these names that keep popping up regularly who do nothing but try to stir the flame.
But most of the GW2 fans are great and really mature people. Just ignore the bad apples and it goes for any mmorpg forums here.

Can you stop comming to The Secret World forum and bash TSW...
Most of us know that you are proud of GW2 and all, and eagerly awaiting the release of this game...
Most of us already know that GW2 has NO monthly fee but ..TSW does
So you don't have to constantly come to the TSW forum and remind us, WE KNOW..
For me TSW is a far superior game, not saying GW2 will be a bad game or anything..I will most certainly try it out aswell in the future.
Ill proudly chalk up the 15 dollars/month for such a good game as TSW is, and until I'm tired of doing so, It may be in a month or it may be in a year..Please let me do that without getting reminded that GW2 has no fee.
PLEASE STOP...Thank you
It is the nature of the Internet... especially of Website that is dedicated to multiple games like this one. Speaking as GW2 fan, as long as i would want the same thing as you, that will never going to happen unfortunatelly.

I feel that most of these supposed "fans are new generation of trolls who pretend to be fans and learn about a certain game in detail. then armed with this new knowledge they hit other games forums and troll people. most people assume these are real "fans" of such and such game. thus we have this confusion and threads asking GW2 fans not to troll on their forums.
Trolling has evloved it seems. Little buggers are getting advanced man. Most of the true GW2 fans here just dislike misinformation about the game. they don't go into other games forums spouting vitrol like a viper.

These people who go to other forums just to post 'my game is better than yours' are not the real fans. They give bad name to rest of the community.

^ only time I really get into an argument about GW2 is when people spout off things that are untrue or maybe they are just falsely informed.. But doesn't matter what game it is I see people doing this for every game on here do it shouldn't be of any suprise to people to see posts like that.. but if you can show facts and proof to debunk whatever the person is posting and can have an actual conversation I think it can be beneficial. To many times though it turns into someone sticking their fingers in their ears yelling lalalalalala "my opinion is right and only one that matters".. lalalalalalalalala
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

I don't know why people care. How can someone sink so low in their quality of life that they need to bash another game. I mean do you actually not like *your* game enough, so you have to bash other games to make your time spent seem worth it?
And even worse, how low can you sink if you actually care about what other people think about the game you like? Are you all such turncoats that even if you like a game, you wont play it because someone else thinks it's crap? I mean what's that, peer preassure? Grow up...
I don't care if you bash a game or if you are such a chicken that you follow the words of others, both are equally sad and pathetic
quite honestly and truthfully, the only fanbase here i have seen go around and crap other games(the TRUE average fans, not trolls or the rare zealot) are swtor fans. thankfully they have been brought down to the ground by now but this time last year...wow.
i WAS one of those SWTOR fans, I bought into all the hype and lies that Bioware/EA fed us and was sorely disappointed.
Saying that, the GW2 fans at that time were pretty rabid and were jumping on every and any game that wasnt GW2 and flaming it into the ground

This is what I think as well.

I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)

TSW fanboys, can you please stop starting/participating in threads in the GW2 subforums.
We all know that you think that TSW is the best MMORPG since 2004.
We all know that TSW has got a sub fee and a cashshop, and GW2 hasn't, making it a cheapskate, P2W game.
So you don't have to come to our forums and remind us of this, as we know that you are wrong (at least on the second part).
For me GW2 is several galaxies ahead of TSW in terms of fun and quality, not saying that TSW is bad game or anything like that. Although there isn't enough money in the entire to convince to give it another try.
I'll happily buy gems from the shop if it supports such a good game like GW2, and until I'm tired of that, it may happen within several centuries, let me do that without getting reminded that you haven't even bothered to do any research whatsoever on the game.
Please stop coming to our forums telling us to stop coming to your forums, when anyone, who has been on the internet for more than five seconds, knows that such requests won't stop anything, but will only encourage more animosity between the two sides.
Speaking only for myself here as I've never even considered going into the TSW forums to bash it. In fact, if I went there, it would basically be just to see what the TSW community had to say about their game. I might even ask a few questions.
Also, this whole 'we stop when you stop' BS is pretty pathetic. Put your big girl panties on and either ignore the posts or have a conversation and if a conversation can't be had...then move on (big girl panties and all) as it's really not worth it.
Wow how desperate are you to support "your game" you go to another more popular games forum and beg people to stop being so mean to your little game. Lol
OP I’d just take it as a compliment, as chances are the only reason they are doing such is because they are threatened by it.
Some people seem to think only one game can be good, and their tastes are absolute. So they try to force that on others, as they have to be right and everyone must know.
Not going to get into which game is better, as that’s not the intent of this thread and both are good games. Which is why some see it as a battle. I can also pretty much guarantee GW2 will be getting slated due the lack of things to do by fanbois of the next “big thing” a month after release, when people have hit level cap. Generally MMOs are always targets for the hype of MMOs that follow.
I've been coming to the GW2 board for the last couple months and I can't say I've ever particularly noticed a TSW fan coming in here with the "My game rules, your game sucks" attitude -- maybe one a week? -- so I'm not sure why all of a sudden people decided to act like it's all over the ----ing place.
This subforum is by far the best on MMORPG at jumping on any dissent. If you're not happy with the way GW2 is being treated here, you should probably stop coming to MMORPG and check out the guru instead.
There are also GW2 fans like myself who also like TSW, believe that latter game does some things quite well and therefore bring them up when discussing game features, but if that's bashing GW2 then maybe you all should pull your head out of your backsides.
I never would have bothered with taking part in TSW's forums after I had decided that I didn't want to play the game. Until I started seeing people like bcbully who continually try to make GW2 look bad. After a while I ended up being sick of watching him do this so I thought I'd share too. So every time I see bcbully share in the GW2 forums, than I take a moment to share in the TSW forums. If I don't see bcbully in the GW2 forums, I leave TSW alone.
Does that mean I'm no better than him? OK.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
Originally posted by Connmacart Suggest you start with your own first. Tell your buddies over on the TSW forum to stop coming over here first. After you've accomplished that feel free to come and complain here.
Hmm..If that is the truth..Then they should do that..
But I can't really belive that this is the case..The fanbase for GW2 is far larger than the one of GW2, and yet it's fans acts as if it should somehow be in danger of competition from TSW..It's not.
Peace out !!!
It mostly becomes a cycle of back and forth bashing by cross-over posters.
I agree with you. GW2 fans should not be going over to the TSW forums to bash the game. I posted a little there when I tested the game and when I played the game. Gave my opinion on what I liked and what I was disappointed with. When I decided not to go beyond the first month, I stopped posting on the TSW forums.
TSW or fans of any other MMO shouldn't be coming to this or any other game's forum to bash a game for not being their game of choice. Usually the bashers show their ignorance and just make themselves look bad.
No fans of any game are to blame for trolling that occurs on any subforum. There is simply a certain kind of person who gets his kicks by pushing others' buttons and seeing how seriously they react. We call them trolls on the internetz. They, as individuals, may actually like any game; and they, as individuals, can be found harassing players from every game.
Please, for the love of god, ignore them.
It actually works in their favor when you misidentify them as representatives of another game. They are their own group. They're not GW2 fans, TSW fans, ToR fans, Tera fans or WoW fans. They are their own group.
JUST. IGNORE. THEM.
I relish the day when every one of their threads is met with exactly zero replies. But, of course, I know that day will never come. Until then, I'll happily read onto the next thread.

yea never going to happen:).. for instance I could start a thread talking about an amazing experience I had in a game with video details and all that jazz.. i would get a few replies saying good job, nice stuff, glad to see stuff like this. Then i could post another thread saying GAME X BLOWS MONKEY A** with nothing in the subject line and watch ten pages of replies within an hour. So is the cycle of the internet gaming forums:P

Nobody goes to TSW forum to troll, you're just angry that Funcom made another terrible MMO and now you are trying to take it out on me. Just stop it, I did nothing to you.
Can you stop comming to The Secret World forum and bash TSW...

The people comming to TSWs (and other games forums) just to bash them are trolls, not GW2 fans. GW2s forum is getting trolled by plenty of people as well, some of who is TSW fans as well as trolls.
Lets not lower ourself to that level and ignore the trolls instead of feeding them or falling for their usual trick to pit games against eachothers.
Personally I like GW2 while I will try TSW sometimes this winter (my FunCom experiance tells me that waiting a bit might make me enjoy the game more, I could be wrong but I don´t see myself as having anything to loose by waiting a little). I will not go and make threads about other games at their forum.
Trolls are like politicians and vampires, they feed on other people. If we just ignore them they will eventually go away to troll another forum.

Oh yeah, creating a thread with a snarky title that will attract hundreds of posts is easy as pie. I've long since concluded that many posters come to such forums simply to find an emotional outlet. When they find a ridiculous post that nearly enrages them, in a way, that's almost exactly what they need. They are given an opportunity to let it all out--however rationally or irrationally in response--and then return to their normal lives.
