Have you noticed how everything popular seems to be bad and everything unpopular seems to be the greatest thing on earth? We are surrounded by hipsters, I tell you. And I hate hipsters...
Its not like the games they like require a refined taste or anything. They're unpopular for a reason: they are crap. They love to make the McDonalds argument whenever it suits them, but when they encounter a game they like its like dining in a 3-Michelin-star restaurant. I've played enough games to know there's no such thing as refined taste. So take that fastfood metaphor and shove it.
I know when I'm playing a mediocre game, and I'm not afraid to say so. Pirates of the Burning Sea was one of them. But only because I'm a sucker for Age of Sail-games. I'd only give it 6/10 but I still found it entertaining for good 3 weeks. Not everything I play is a masterpiece.
So if something is popular, it must be good at something. Anyone who says "its full of shit" is talking out of their arse.

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good.
Hitler was popular.
So was disco.
The masses don't always know what they're talking about. Which is why true democracy sucks.
You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for???
Be afraid.....The dragons are HERE!
Maybe you could talk these things through with real acquaintances.
@OP
For me your post seem hipstery to be honest.

What an amazing rant for accepting what you're given uncritically. And just because something is popular because it's good at something that doesn't mean the thing is good. McDonald's is really good at marketing. That doesn't make McDonald's good.
If that's all you're saying, I could say the same about any game out there - even WoW.

We need Everquest Next now more than ever. Another casualty and grim reminder of the destructive power of the Age of Wow.
The point is: there is no "fine dining" in MMOs, therefore the fastfood metaphor is trashed.

Is it worth to point out that I don't even like WoW?

I don't really think it matters.
Lets face it: some people are going to make that assumption.

Propably. People generally make alot of assumptions. All manners of people.
So you like a game which is popular at the moment and any critique of said game is only done by the hipsters because its popular and not because it might have some flaws? being critical is what most intelligent gamers will do when they are investigating the new kid on the block its a natural expression of an enquiring mind. But it doesn't mean that those same gamers cannot enjoy a flawed game does it?

My assumption is you don't actually like any MMORPG style games. Am I wrong?"True friends stab you in the front." | Oscar Wilde

Wow, it only took the first reponse to the OP to mention Hitler. New record?
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Yeah, it provides the calories but doesn't really satisfy the palate.
Perfect example of my first statement.
I also mentioned *gasp* disco! :P

E.g. I hate things like the xfactor and big brother, low brow tv.
But I'm not into watching glydebourne opera, or some Chekhov dramatisation either, high brow tv.
SWToR was incredibly popular and it wasnt bad....... ohh wait ...........................nm

Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Doesn't matter. If you bring up up the Nazis or Hitler you lose the argument.
Godwin's law anyone?

Kind of dubious if it constitutes an argument yet, as of the first response.
But you knew you were adopting a predjudicial stance, and so expected an argument, right?
(Careful, that's the classic, original definiton of "troll")
