Why does this game have so many god damn defenders/white knights?

    I didn't even say anything bad about this game. I read a lot of threads on the internet about people quitting. My conclusion is that it's already dying.

    This made me laugh :awesome:

    Dude, even garbage crowdfunded games like Pathfinder Online have white knights.  At least BDO white knights have an amazing looking game with some interesting features.

    What answer would I be able to provide? I'm not a hater so I'd probably just be wrong...
    None, obviously.

    If you're going to weigh in, you need to bring something more than calling others "hater", like you're some kind of female rapper from 2012.

    I know what you're trying to do here. I don't come to this site enough, that I would even notice, if you pulled it off.

    I didn't even say anything bad about this game. I read a lot of threads on the internet about people quitting. My conclusion is that it's already dying.

    If history shows, hacker infested games die out.

    I'm wasn't shocked by any of this at all. This is the new superior MMORPG era. 
    Who called anyone haters? It certainly wasn't me. I weighed in to challenge your proposal that "haters" are never wrong. my point about declarations that games are dying was all encompassing, it certainly wasn't about BDO alone. To be quite honest I have no idea what you're proposing I'm doing here? Aside from sharing a thought. What the heck man, I'm not plotting against you lol.

    - We've seen people post they are quitting the game on multiple forums some even didn't even play the game but post for attention. 
    - We've seen people post misinformation to delude potential players from joining the game. I don't see the point in going this far to hate a game personally.
    - We've seen people exaggerate to prove their biased points.
    - We've seen people lie and when the "white knights" as you call them show they are wrong with proof the majority that don't have any interest in the game ignore them and keep believing the lies.

    Yet if a person that plays the game comes and says they are wrong. they are white knights/fanboys whatever you want to call them.

    Nice logic mate.

    Ps: All games are released to make money, they are not a charity case. Till the cash shop doesn't have anything remotely to p2w (If exp boost is p2w almost all mmos are p2w), I have nothing to say in that regrad.

    There's a difference between defending a legitimately good game and defending a shiny turd. Everyone knows, if you want to be respected as a true white knight, you can't deny the bad and only praise the good in your game. It's the white knights that go out of their way to defend extremely flawed games that cause haters to linger and who eventually pound their sugar coated threads back into reality.
    Seems a lot more simple than that to me, I don't think there is much more motivation behind it than poking each other with proverbial sticks. I also have to ask when did any of these types of threads lead to a state of reality? it's one extreme view against another.

    How does this affect you exactly that a game has supporters? If you do not like a game or want to play it how does the game having its defenders or white knights have any impact on you. Are you just whining on behalf of other people here ? 

    It seems to me that people get annoyed when others do not agree with their points of view and feel it is their right to dictate to others what they should like, failing which insult and ridicule them out of frustration. Seems to me the problem here is with the people who cannot understand that everyone is entitled to like or dislike a game without having to justify it.

    I feel that our gaming community has become so mean and nasty that they even begrudge others their interest and try to shame them into agreeing with them and that is called bullying in  my book.

    How many times have people continuously said that SWTOR has failed and yet it seems to be making money and still going in spite of the predictions of its closure from the very beginning. Games that the haters claim have failed still go on and are miraculously even making money. I'd say that this proves that they are just saying 'fail' for dramatic effect but it's often not supported by any facts.

    Why has "White Knight" become the ignorant insult of choice for so many?

    I mean, if you must insult people for no reason other than disagreeing with them, at least have the decency to come up with something original.

    Erm... Yea, just like any other commercial game.

    About white-knighting... Actually, in my eyes, any advices that look like "this activity is bad, regardless of who you are" are bad advices. Actually, these are not even advices. "Don't do that because I say so". Ok, I'm gonna try and tell you later what I think (or maybe I won't tell you, because you think really short-minded).

    Heh, the funnier part is that for the most part those who use the term, are the ones that claim to be on some greater truth seeking cause... Striking down those vile, lying White-Knights... That's almost always the reason they're there... 

    Look Bob, they talkin bout lik'n that dag'on grame agra-in...

    OP drops a very insulting post in here to stir up his/her numbers and then does not respond to any of the following opinions. I think we all know what this is.

    It is, unfortunately, the same old.  I don't like X so no one should like X.  Anyone that does like X is a ________ (insert your preferred insult)  and I will continue to troll/flame/harass them as much as possible until they_______ (See things my way? insert your favorite unicorn here).

    We really need to stop entertaining these types of things.  I realize what I just did before anyone feels the need to point it out.  

    At any rate, the game itself is fine and everything is going as per the norm.

    If you want a new idea, go read an old book.

    In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.

    Check this out.

    Lol how retarded do you have to be to do something like this? Do these morons not understand that even if someone beleives them, it just makes Daum look like shit for banning from the game but not the forum?

    BDO has the worst white knight community I have ever seen. They are like ostriches that do nothing but bury their head in the sand while chanting "Everything is fine, everything is fine".

    What would drive a retard to do something like this?

    Every game has fanbois - nature of the beast.  They are spineless lap dogs yes, but there is no escaping them.

    To answer the question in the OP's title, probably because:

    The game is new and good.
