I'm sure you all know how absolutely ridiculous the Darkfall community is. I thought I'd make a thread over there to show just how bad it is. Check it out/
Comments
The forums are terrible, agreed. Those in-game cand be dealt with directly.
Thank god for that. The forums are like a bowl of pirhanas, and you don't have a fishing pole!
~pssst~ Just to let you know , the trolls (like you) are part of the community as much as we dont want you, you still are. And if you believe you arent then wtf were you doing there ?.
not 1/2 as bad at this one....

the nature of the game will bring the worst people there, and create pure epeen flames like none other.
What do you expect out of it honestly? it has been years before a sandbox pvp game has come out there are tons of greifing and pvp guilds just waiting to get in.

Yeah, I thought people were generally acting like assholes here, but over on the DF site....wow!
After being here for less than a week, do you really have the authority to speak for the mmorpg.com community and refer to yourself as "we"?
pssst...he is allowed here just as much as anyone else. just thought you didnt know what the term "public" means.
we are saints compared to the idiocy known as Darkfall Official Forums
pssst...he is allowed here just as much as anyone else. just thought you didnt know what the term "public" means.
OP listen to this guy, he knows what he is talking about. If he doesn't like what you say, he makes blog posts on the front page that just single out other posters he doesn't agree with, then cries when the mods delete the blog.
Clearly an authority on forum etiquette.
Btw as fanatic as some fanboys can be, they will never be 1/2 as bad as the people who make the decision to post the SAME thing over and over on this board about a game they have no intention of ever playing. Its just downright sad.

The AoC forums was just as bad in its own way pre-launch.

Heh yeah, after reviewing his post history I realized they were mostly one line replies, and all in the Darkfall forums. This guy basically joined last week to bash Darkfall and has been doing so ever since.
Never really understood how is it possible to get so pumped about a computer game, that you'd start acting like that. Or is it just the fact that nowadays it's so easy to use computer and internet, that even completely ignorant people can come here.
And how in the hell every gaming site is now talking more about the gamers than the games itself. I want my good old mmorpg.com back.
they're all bad.
we are talking about online video games people...sure some people are mature and carry themselves well but you have a lot of young kids + the safety of being behind a computer screen which leads to nasty forums.
people who preach that this is the "elite ganker pvp crowd" are just oblivious or dont want to admit that pve games have "elitest" gamers that are just as bad if not worse.

For games that have great PVE contents, and highly soloable, the quality of the community might not be a big issue. After all, you can ignore the jerks and play your own game. At least you can pull your own mobs, talk to that NPC or mine the ore. For DF or teaming intensive games, the community is everything.
I have always suspect that games like DF will attract jerks and griefers from every corner of the internet world. People I will never want to see ingame or in real life, people whose only intention is to ruin the day of other people. It is no surprise that quality of community will loom large on discussion issues related to DF.
One thing I do feel with you, the quality of the gaming community in the past is really fabulous. Gone were the days I can explore SWG looking for that oddly place player house, checking for the latest batch of weapon he is choosing. Gone were the days I can meet ppl, wave, chat and move on, as if it is really a stroll on the neighorhood. If I want drama queens there is enough in RL to load my nerves.

lol i know you are being sarcastic but this is one of the things that makes me shake my head at people....to think that someone is more trustworthy or has more of a right to speak because they happened to find a game or forum later than someone else.

I just read this over on the DF forums and I thought it was perfect for your t hread. Enjoy

Someone suggested players who loot corpses that other players kill should go gray for 2 minutes. Here's one of the responses:
Fuck you. Its not your loot, why should I go grey for picking it up?
Once again, fuck you. I hope you die in a fire.
What a nice guy...

Yeah PVE elistist are sometimes just as annoying. Luckily in quite a lot of the better designed PVE games you can ignore them. In GW, you can zone out of a town and they are all gone. In WoW there are so many things to do, you can generally get away from them (remember to turn off general and trade chats). Zone into an instance in most games will fix it.
But you cannot do that in a PVP game, and least so in a PVP game in which all you can do is find someone to play with or against.
