Yeah blah blah blah blah "You're WRONG!!" and not "I disagree". Thanks for playing.
"Gypsies, tramps, and thieves, we were called by the Admin of the site . . . "
Yep my favorite is where they throw out there that anyone who disagrees with the endless "it fails" threads are zombies, drones, borg, or any other insult they can find to strawman classify someone into a corner which usually only occurs when their argument is nullified by some fact or bit of logical reasoning.
When you're wrong you're wrong descenters, just move on and the world will continue turning just like it does with the DE's in GW2.
thanks for proving my second point (points down the thread a bit).
Stop right there. This is EXACTLY the same as other games on this forum, you think this is new to GW2? It stems back to WoW.
Been this way for years, this is nothing new. Im afraid your simply trolling and making personal attacks on players who like this game because a few disagree with your opinion and now your crying about it.
You criticise "fanbois" for being "hateful" but your doing just the same by making this thread. The sad thing is your crying in the pub forum where likely you think less GW2 fans will find it, if you have something to say about GW2, post it in the GW2 forums. If the forums are too much for you, may i suggest not posting. Is it really so important that you have your say on a forum no-one really gives a damn about in the grand scheme of things if it upsets you so much?
Forums aren't serious, most people post crap on a forum they would never dare to say irl. Take it for what it is, a bit of fun.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy
I don't know what point he is proving for you here but you proved the point of OP a long time ago.
Pot kettle back.
then stop trying to convince people it's a bad game,another flop,5 min of fame etc
I love the game but I don't go around promoting it, however you waste so much time and energy going out of your way to trash a first in some time decent game.
Yes it's not perfect it has room for improvement but it's far from the stuff out there.
That in itself proves what a good job Anet is doing.
You don't like it, we love it.
I was going to post the same thing. lol
Who? what??when..huh..i am lost.. did you even read the OP?
You are exactly the type of poster the OP is talking about and you cannot even see it, you go on and on and on and on proving the OP's case for him oblivious to this fact, its hilarious to watch.

your name on these forums is exactly my point about threads like these. doublestandard. You see it was fine for everyone to come onto these forums to debunk the lies and deceit of the titles they do like but when someone is saying something positive about the title or telling them how wrong they are about the title they dislike they are borg, zombies, drones or anyting else they can throw out there as an insult when they are pointed out and shown for the trouble maker doublestandards they have.
and when you point out these flaws in their arguments they post things like our lovely golum up there as if that absolved them of being wrong or in any way made those of us posting about how this nonsense over everyday posting "gw2 fail" or "fanboi this or that" threads.
these threads should be deleted before they begin because they are neither correct nor necessary. the game is a success, it's flourishing, get over it. Can't handle it fine, talk about it on facebook but don't bring your lies here unless you are prepared to get called out on it.
and please, don't call someone fanboi when we prove you wrong, that's just childish. (talking to the haters who think they are objective. not doublestandard)
what's funny is thta this post could be taken back a few years and this was the exact same thing EQ1 fans were saying about WoW fanboys
I miss DAoC
I have to admit, I am a big GW2 fanboy...... however I am a convert. For many months I bashed the fanboys for being too rabid and blindly parroting what ANet said and not beleiving the hype.
Then I got to play the game on a friends beta account. The next day I prepurchased and I havent looked back since. IMO the game is extremely engaging and is indeed the best MMO in years. Now I do beleive the hype.....
HOWEVER, I am on the side of the OP. I still hate the rabid fanboyism that accompanies this game(my game, the game I am playing at the moment, and will also defend) that means that there cannot be any meaningful discussion or debate about it. Anytime anyone criticises any aspect of the game they just get flamed to death. This is just stupid. I would much rather be able to defend GW2 by explaining using reasoned argument why I think it is a good game, pointing out where I think the OP is wrong etc etc but even if I do this my well thought out arguments just get lost in the sea of "you are playing it wrong" or "you just dont get it" etc etc.
Please fanboys, stop being so rabid and make reasoned arguments. It will be better in the long run.

He's in the right place, the people who have been calling themselves objective for the most part in these forums when they've downed this title forget how fanboism invaded their brains about the title they liked and how they reacted to people posting nonsense about their titles.
It's nothing new. Doublestandards really.
Be careful tho if you say something positive about GW2, someone might call you a fanboi or post about how they can't stand something you said that was good about this title. smh.
There Is Always Hope!

I completley agree and while I was reading the OP I was like, "hm, ANOTHER thread about fanboys?". I don't understand that some people can't really accept the fact once you play the game you actually see the game is amazing and everything that's been said is there and it feels so right.
But I know, it's easier to call people fanboys and toss around with generalizating attitude than just actually checking out the game yourself after reading so many positive things being said.
And no, the silvary starting area is nowhere near the elfs starting area... It's lightyears apart. I've played it and it's that far.

Exactly what point are you trying to make here? Especially when you think you made it twice?
TBH, I just see some cliche use of the phrase "you proved my point" thrown out there like shit against the wall with hopes that something will actaully stick.
Let me guess.
I just proved your point, didn't I?
Erm, who are "they" or "everyone". You're arbitarily referencing people to try and form an argument. That alone makes that whole argument void.
Please explain to me how you have pointed out the "flaw" in the OPs argument? He doesn't like the over intrusive fanboyism, he states that in his experience it is the worst ever. Please point out the flaw.
These threads should be deleted because you deem them incorrect or unnecessary? Thats not your call and what you think is not fact.
You haven't been called a fanboy because you've proved people wrong, you're being called a fanboy because you've proved the OP right. Thats what the Golum picture is all about.
Also, after that post, please don't talk about objectivity. Especially when you claim the "haters" don't have any. Can you not see the irony in that?
Uhm no, actually like any game there are a set of rules to follow.
Like setting up your firewall, making sure your antivirus is allowing your program to function properly etc etc.
Or how about the little detail of if you want to do burst dps then you need stats/trait points in those skills? I wouldn't put points in explosives on my engineer and then expect my shotgun to be improved. smh.
THANK you! I tried to explain this but didn't succeed apparently. These posts are nonsense they are part of the vitriol and they need to end. it's over it's dead people just need to stop. I don't really care what people call me, what i care about is that the nastiness that seems to be in these forums (and rarely is ever dealt with i might add) from the people who have nothing but negative things to say about a game they will never buy or play is astounding.
Posting about how other posters are posting isnt really a good discussion for the forums.
Please keep your discussions on the topic of the games, and not what John and Jane Forum Poster are posting about it this week.
