Does anyone else absolute despise it whenever someone, with whom it is obvious they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, posts a review on a game with a score of a "1.0" followed by a facade of text trying to convince you otherwise? In no circumstance whatsoever should any game been given such a low review unless they have 4bit graphics and music on say, a system as powerful as the Xbox360; and that is only if it only follows with 15 minutes of game play, no words, and only one stage or level (providing that it isn't an arcade entry, as they have a meg limit and should be rated on a different field).

These people spend time, on a game they supposedly hated, just to log on here and put a score of "1" followed by ill-fated text just for the sole purpose to agitate others with their childish mindsets; I would be perfectly okay with such if they, say, gave the game a five or a six rating along with their reasons with such. But when they get core concepts incorrect, obviously have had no real experience or done any research with the game, and then try to give off such a score? That is nothing more than just trying to agitate the community and is not an opinion: it is an attack by an individual whom likes to bestow grief on others.

One could not fathom how old they are or the lackluster life they must leave to have the time or even the mindset to do this but it's apparent something needs to be reevaluated in their life; and I say this only because I, like many of you, have seen this happen far too often and it is time that a stand is taken.

I will soon be comprising a list of < 2 reviews on this site to be submitted as "intended solely to agitate" others for the community to send in enmass soon. It is a violation of Gamespot's rules and they have a specific button just for it in the report section. The word of the gamers will soon help gamespot clean what they deem to be a "mess" that needs to be cleaned up on their forums (via their report section).

I'm in no way associated with gamespot, but I will soon help them, as they ask on that same section, to clean up the acts of people in the only way possible; tracking their actions and reporting their posts (along with my new community to be founded reporting them) for a possible future ban for repeated offenses.

Send a message if interested or if you want your community to be a part of this community watch program for reviews and forum posts (trolls etc).

Does it bother anyone else to have people just hate something they never tried just to "fit in" on message boards or even in oher games?

It's like these people have no friends other than where they play or like to spend time online and follow a trend just to be part of their "click" or whatnot.

With me, I tend to play games that have both a huge fanbase and hatebase of a game just to see if either side is well founded. Though, there are cases in which one is more so well off than the other.

Take for instance if a game isn't that great but people claim it to be so just to get rid of another game they hate? There are people who post long enduring messages saying their dislikes and others who don't even read it just say "ur an idiot" or some such sort and don't explain what they like about it or make a rebuttle that's even half way acceptable.

Then there are those who keep on saying a game sucks and "troll" or mass flood forums just to make the people who play it live's miserable despite them just being a part of a social click in which such an action makes them "cool".

This is just an interesting phenom in today's gaming world; though it is most prevailent in computer gaming it seems. What with a good amount of people pirating copies of games or making pirate servers of popular online games ("private"? please; it's only private if it's acknowledged by the source who owns it and independantly operated by another entity that has the approval of said owned source). Well, the morality of online gamers isn't too surprising when such people like this are a part of a faceless community.

It seems that morales and integrity mean nothing when playing an online computer game nowadays.

I wrote this little message in response to the countless people saying to others that "MMoRPGs are a waste" and implying that people are dumb for paying each month to play something they like.  I'm pretty fed up with all these people trying to live another's life.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I laughed out loud when I read all of these responses.

People really need to stop telling other people that it's not worth paying for something they enjoy doing. It may be a waste of time, money, and/or mental power to some people; but then again, so is trying to live other people's lives by telling them to do or not do something. In fact, I pity those types of people more. But, if that is what it takes to give them cheap thrills as opposed to paying a meager amount of money per month or actually going out in the world, more power to them.

I've had my fair share of experiences with MMoRPGs, and I still have most of them active. Ultima Online, Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft, and Planet Side just to name a few. I rarely play any of them anymore, but it's roughly the same as having two phone lines or a cable modem set up even when you hardly go online except for schoolwork.

If you truely enjoy something you should spare no expense in continuing along with it; just as you would a career in gaming if you enjoyed it by paying for an education to become a programmer. In addition, I pretty much disregard any comments of "It's not worth it" when it's coming from someone who has had no serious exposure to what they were talking about.

Then again, if these same people who are just naturally saying it's not worth the money have also never bought sodas, fast food, or ate at a restaurants, I will fully back them up in what they're saying. You could just eat what is at home, and buy it all for a third or even a tenth of the cost depending on where you go out to eat (Top Ramen, anyone?). Also, why pay for soda when you're already paying a Water Bill? This leads me to conclude that most of these posters are still leeching off their parents in some way; not even considering the things they already pay and still buying stuff that is or tastes a tad better, but offers the same results. Water is a necessity, true, but soda is not. Just how entertainment is considered a necessity to many people, but online massive online gaming is just an improvement over a single player or online game that only holds 8-12 people in one area (Or maybe 128 max on games like Starsiege: Tribes).

Further more, online games and characters are considered "Permanent", and a simple of bottle of soda would last you a few minutes tops once you opened it; then you just look towards water for further nourishment if still thirsty. But, heck, we should just buy our $1.25 bottles of soda once or twice a day, equalling up to around $40 a month for something we already pay for in terms of the water bill.

So, yes, it's all a waste. Don't do it. You like it? Too bad, people made the decision that it isn't worth it for you.
