    Isn't this true for just any MMO? GW2 will be next on release.

    Actually most of the hate they'll gonna get is because of GW2 fanbois bashing every other MMO while hyping up theirs. Personally I felt indifferent about GW2 until recently when they started to troll TSW, the game I happen to like. Now I can say that I don't like GW2 because after doing some research to see what's there to be worth such a hype I did see nothing. GW2 fanbois claim it to be a dodge button lol image

     

    This silly thing again.   I mean, I see some pretty silly accusations on these forums...  But "TSW is being attacked by GW2 Fanbois because their game sucks/they're jealous/they're afraid" takes the cake. 

     

    As far as I can tell, most GW2 fans just don't give a crap about TSW.    There are a surprising number, myself included, that like both games for what they are -- two very different games.

     

    There are some GW2 fans that don't like TSW, not necessarily because they're GW2 fans, but because of the game.   TSW is an 'acquired taste' kind of game.   And if you're not into horror-themed adventure-RPG hybids, this isn't going to be an appealing game on the technical merits because, even though I like it, I'm not blind to this game's faults.   Add in Funcom's history of 'meh' and the incredibly aggressive monetization of the game (box + sub + cash shop) you're going to catch some flak.

     

    And, of course, there are the semi-pro trolls that attack everything and go from popular game to popular game dumping on it...

     

    But to pretend it's a hoard of GW2 fans...   ROFTLMAO

     

    There are and have been certain posters bashing TSW with passion and all melting the next minute in GW2 forums. So, if someone does not like a certain MMO then why the hell should s/he spend hours convincing everyone else how bad that certain game is? I like only a few games and don't like most of them and I think there are many like me but why be bothered then? If I don't like it I won't touch it and move one.

    Oh, and I'm not talking about people who just say that TSW is not for them or they don't like it, I'm talking about people making tens of posts saying this in every single thread and starting some with arguments pulled out of their arses. If you want to see some well done work by GW2 fanbois then go and read SWTOR launch time forum. Man, that game was trolled so hard that I actually felt sad about SWTOR fans.

    you are greatly overexaggerating this and most wasn't GW fanboys

    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. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    I've always tried to be respectful and diplomatic when posting on other games' forums, even admonishing others when I thought they'd gone too far.  Now I just don't care.  It's a bit of a juvenile, tit-for-tat reaction to the trolling on the GW2 boards that people like you don't ever seem to recognize, but it does keep my blood pressure lower.  If that makes people like you hate on GW2, I'm good with that.  Your presence won't be missed.

    Do you have an equivalent of bat signal or something for GW2? moment someone says anything  negative about GW2, no matter on what random forums you are there in seconds to defend it.

    very impressive ;)

    Back then I did some post history searches in cases where someone just lied. But I think that I've gone too far accusing GW2 folks for every problem and started to turn into a complete arse myself here. So I apologize if I hurt someone and I sincerely hope that GW2, which will be released in 2 months, will be a good MMO that caters to all of it's fans. Who knows, maybe I buy it myself if the reviews are good as a side game. After all it does not have a monthly sub. Again, my apologies.

    Let's face it...this site is full of hatred from one game to another. No one is immune.

    With that said we also have to learn to separate trolling post from those that are honest and geniuene critiques of a game. Granted not easy with so many post at times. I know I didn't find TSW to be my cup of tea (at least for now as with MMO's things can change) but I don't bother posting here about it because the issues I had have already been spoken about by others. No point beating a dying horse...or is it a dead horse?

    So I mainly get issue with those who post over...and over...and over the same stuff. They can see the exact same type of thread on the first page and will still make a new thread about the same subject. And then a day or so later make the same post in another thread all over again. That gets tiresome.

    I honestly don't understand the mindset of anyone who wants a game to fail. I want more options. I like having choices instead of being pigeon-holed to one game like I had to with WoW for some years. The fact there are some actual games I may like finally coming I'm happy as hell. Hoping some of my issues with TSW are resolved or at least other things made so damn awesome that I can ignore them so I can make it my second game along with GW2.

    More choices are better!

    Exactly. This forum has always been filled to overflowing with bitter little children, and once The Secret World releases they will move on to the next game releasing (likely Guild Wars 2). It is an endless cycle of whining under the guise of legitimate criticism. For every thought out piece of criticism there are a dozen more "lol failcom dis game'll bankrupt dem becuz dey suck"
