...before spending $ on a new game/product? With all the MMO's and what not that came out in first quarter of 2016, as well as having pretty good idea of what's coming in the first half of 2016, my radar again goes back to WOW: Legion and if Blizzard indeed does some changes/improvements (like going back to 10 man hardest raiding as option vs 20/25 and delivering faster content on pace, which I hope so, given how I believe they understand better than ever now that it will take more to keep those subs than what WOD delivered) there is a good chance it will be at least 6 years before I open my wallet on a new game (so, that's 7-8 years of anything that's been in the oven, in development to simply not target me).
So, how long do you think will it take before I spend $ again on a new product/game and which product do you think could succeed at finally opening my wallet? Over these last 5 years all I'm going to say is I've had over $20,000 sitting in my bank account. So, $ definitely has not been my obstacle in enjoying all that has came out.

What I'm trying to say without sounding like a jerk is: Who cares what you spend your money on, or not?
People could throw titles at you all day long, and if you want to be smug about freeloading, then you can just "nope, nope, nope" them all.

My questions were honest and if you cannot be helpful with them and contribute to this thread, might as well not post at all.
Btw Forums are for debate, not a daily personal status report. Take that to Facebook.

Talking about moderation staff, how many of your threads have the mods been forced to close because of your bait titles, and posts? Answer: Too many. I thank them though, because frankly this is a gaming forum, and you're obviously not interested in gaming.
Maybe one day after 1,000 of your threads get closed, you'll figure out why it happens.
I'm 36 years old and have been gaming since my dad brought home an Atari 2600 and I feel like there has never been a better time to be a gamer than right now. Good luck on your quest though, hopefully you find something eventually.
This is getting serious.
If you had instead come here and said, "I'm considering these three games, which one do you guys think I should spend my money on?" Then that would be a great question.
Rather than that, however, you came here and said "I love myself because I don't spend money on games that the rest of you are paying for. Please list a bunch of games and tell me why I should spend money on them (so that I can tell you how I'm not going to pay for them either.)"
Someone could feel compelled against with will to reply. I rolled a 4 on a d6 so I had to respond.

My introductory post is based on my own experience and decisions and I only put it there so those who are actually interested to contribute to this thread to have a more accurate idea on my background to have an easier time to figure and narrow down this product as well as possibly guess what period and how long it would be before this occurs, thx.

Ok, here ya go, take it and put it in a nice long term investment with low risk/low return. That way when you grow up and can make decisions on your own without input from total strangers you will have considerably more cash at your disposal.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
You do post regularly about how all the current MMORPGs suck and how you haven't spent any money on them recently. Thats fine and for the most part, I agree (I just passed the 3yr mark myself). However, it's pointless starting thread after thread bemoaning the lack of good MMOs if you don't define your minimum requirements for a good MMO. Perhaps if you did, we could have a constructive thread talking about specific features rather than the endless old-school/complex/time-consuming/sandbox vs new/dumbed down/linear/casual debates that we normally have.
For example, my minimum requirements are:
- Objective-based world PvP - e.g. WARs PvP lakes, LotROs Ettenmoors - I love fighting over keeps!
- Deep / Complex Combat - tab-targetting, lots of skills, strong interdependency between classes, more than just the trinity (I hate the trinity, give me support classes!)
- Horizontal Gear Progression at Endgame
- Strong IP
It took me a long time to come up with those 4, but after looking at my past playing habits, the games that held my attention etc, these things were the 4 most important to me and so I always assess new MMOs by these standards. A few MMOs came close to meeting my requirements over the last few years, for example ESO had 3/4, it just lacked good combat.Once we know and understand your requirements, we might be able to turn this into a worthwhile thread.
If you did once to twice it would be fine but you keep coming back every few weeks and posting this stuff and people are not ignoring your threads when they rightly should as that is actually the most effective method of shutting you up (me included, shame on me).
These forums ARE NOT I repeat are not your personal space.You cannot come here and write these threads and not expect people to respond and when they do you threaten them even. If you wish to write these threads then I think in the light of the previous posts you have made about this topic you should expect the reaction that you do. You are being disingenuous by pretending to be upset when you knew full well how people would respond given your previous posts. I would categorically say you're trolling these boards at this point and you should be moderated instead.
