Ha, ha, Zorndorf...too funny. Like, sad funny, but funny none-the-less.
Even though I love EvE, it does have some pretty harsh fans. Though, I think that some of that is due to the complexity of the game and getting fed up with people not understanding it - and making bogus, uneducated claims. Not like they should immediately get everything (that would be impossible), but some of the stuff you hear over there is pretty amazing.
I played WoW for about 4 years, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm sure they get pretty tired of being the focus of a lot of negative attention, but that's how it goes when you're king of the hill. Consequently, they love to boast about that fact (most subs, etc), but also don't seem able to cope with the negative feedback that comes with it very well.
I guess I'd vote them (WoW fans) as being worst though. It probably has a lot to do with sheer numbers (like someone else stated) and age range too, but I find them the most annoying because I think they're the most close-minded, arrogant and least humble. Too bad too, because WoW has some great things about it, but the community often doesn't do the game any favours.
As stated in other posts enuf can be said about WOW radbid fanbois.
SWTOR , one mere critical thing said about this overhyped single player and you would think someone took them in the toolshed and raped them that being said most would go down on George Lucas to get to play a Jedi in the upcoming title, blindly dismissing that the game so far what has been revealed could be a major disapointment and the slip of the tounge of a RMT shop is even more suspect.
Aion, well another overhyped retread of WOW with shiny graphics and emo male hairstyles and flying!!! As some fanbois might think this is the second coming of christ I believe 6 months- 1 year into the game these people will be singing another tune and playing a another MMO by then.
I would have to say Mortal online has the worst fanboys...
Speak anything but good about it and you get ripped a part.... or atleast they try to and end up looking like grade school children fighting over whose dad can beat up the other ones.
I remember saying mortal online reminded me of oblivion(and that is all I said, exactly how I said it) and I had 20 other posts after me quote it and flame it to the ground. I heard everything from 'go play wow'(I don't like WoW so they assume everyone that dislikes it is a wow fan) to 'you shouldn't be playing mmos' to 'MORTAL ONLINE HAS BEST MMO GRAPHICS EVER!!! GET A LIFE NOOB' I never replied to any of the responses and it was somewhat humorous just seeing all of the mortal fan boys work themselves up for over a week of posts after seeing me say 'mortal reminds me of oblivion'
I would have to agree, this community is vile, Mortal Online fanboys act like they are in the WoW forums 24/7.... or fighting with other people in youtube comments about what console is better when clearly they fail either way.
- If another mmo comes out that is experience based, then its 'a grind', because there is absolutely no repetitive killing in their game in all (soon to be) 85 levels of wow.
- If an mmo has an ability bar or a minimap then it's stolen the interface from wow because apparently wow pioneered both ideas.
- If a game has orcs or goblins then it's a wow clone because neither of such monsters were ever written down on paper until the development team of blizzard brainstormed such creatures.
- If an mmo comes out with a feature wow does not have, then it's a gimmick you'll soon get tired of and come back to wow
- If wow takes an idea from another mmo then it's innovation and implying otherwise just makes you jealous
- if another mmo comes out that receives attention it is immediately the 'wow killer' and will fail and you fail for playing anything but wow.
- If an mmo does not have a feature that wow does, then its crucial the developers put in said feature or game will fail
- wow only costs 30 bucks. everything else is an expansion and expansions are not required to fully enjoy wow
I'm sure there are more but those are the most common i remember in recent posts.
Wow haters don't like Zorndorf at all !!! Logical because every time these guys come up with the tyipcal WOW vomit, Zorndorf gives painstakingly hard facts to counter them. A few examples are The unbalanced Arena's: Pity ALL classes are represented in the TOP Arena teams of the world. You are NOT there ? Well how about your lack in eye hand coordination? It outweighs any balance for 99.99% of you as a player.... Wow is for children: Pity social studies like Nielsen show otherwise. Wow is losing subs: Pity Xfire shows the exact opposite trend. ------> Zorndorf puts out some MUCH needed steam on these mmorpg.com pages.
---> The worst GROUP of fans are the lying cheaters. No doubt the last 3 months Aion members are the worst. Some examples? (which I could easely counter with links btw). - Wow was killed in the East tx to Aion. Stating that WOW lost 5 or 7 million subs tx to Aion ... - Aion had ... 3.5 Million subs in the east (easely countered and now we know it is at a maximum of 1.8/1.9 M and Korean market didn't grow for 8 months. Thank you server counts ))) Zorndorf is always prepared to discuss on facts (with links). And that hurts, because after YEARS of ridiculous WOW vomit with 4-letter words, WOW haters need now facts and figures before insulting players, WOW and Blizzard. It was about time ........ )))))
Why the hell you dont get banned for trolling I dont know. I get warnings for saying poo on mmorpg and you can troll the whole damn site and get away with it.
Well, good luck to you, Zorndorf.
p.s. referring to yourself in the third person was a nice touch.
I think the fanboys for any game that hasn't come out yet are the worst. Come on people, it's fine to like a game, but if you haven't got all the facts, don't give any game your blind obedience. Wait and see, and then judge.
I would have to say Darkfall hands down. Ive never seen a more "intresting" fanbase. its great comedy to read thier posts. They act like theres nothing wrong with thier game and routinely ignore posts that make good agruments on whats wrong with the game . They make excuses for AV's mismanagement of the game. Instead of taking the "high road" and trying to entice people to play thier game they insult them, although it has gotten somewhat better.
Believe it or not, most of the people in DF's launch and pre-launch (beta) time in this forum that caused all the drama were either:
A) Not even playing the game, just posting ignorant rabid fanboy things to cause drama.
People coming from WoW who heard what Darkfall had to offer and fanboyed it up
C) Rabid Fanboys & Idiots (same thing really) Nothing more can really be said.
