Many of us are here because other MMOs just haven't hit the spot. So my question is why? What do you hate about MMOs that you keep seeing over and over. Here is my list of top ten things I have hated in MMO gaming ( in no order). Pay-to-win: while I don't have an issue with micro transactions, i refer they be skins, not stats. Gear based: When somebody is able to obtain gear that is stupid powerful, I think it really deters new players Time required to compete: some games require that you play 6-10 hours a day if you want to compete with the best, this often goes back to the gear based complaint Button mashers: I hate it when i am more worried about hitting 5 keys a second than my strategy. I want something that tests my mind, not my dexterity The grind: I hate collecting pelts, I hate leveling for a month, I hate having to farm for days on end to afford my next best piece of gear Cookie cutters: The linear tree characters , such that basically every character of the same class is the exact same in powers, looks, gear, etc Stagnation: I imagine an unwinnable game is what causes it, but I hate when things have just stopped happening in game. I am not saying the game should reset, I am saying that characters should always have a reason to change what is going on. Zergs: In Shadowbane words, sub-to-win... bring more bros, because that is what gets you what you want. Paths: I have played a few games as of late that have story lines, and a path you are going to follow, no matter how much you like it. I want to be able to go where I want, do what I want, Kill who i want, etc. Multiboxing: It just lends to people being too likely to cheat if they can run multiple clients... macros, keyclones, bots... I think they all hurt the game in the long run. So what about you what are you top 5-10 most hated things in MMOs you have played? Feel free to repeat, I would love to see if there is a pattern ( people who hate PvE also hate the reward system or whatever). Dont feel like you have to use as much detail as me, I just get nerdy about this sort of discussion.

CheckYoTrack Skullet and sierrad and SirAres if he still wants one, now that somebody else seems to have done it.

Sorry I had been busy trying to make some money, since nobody else seemed to step up while i was gone, it looks like i have a day of sigs ahead of me... more to come.

Could somebody mention who the 10v10 winner was? I am quite sure somebody knows.

It seems as though CN is dominating the current one where WM plays... Does WM still play?

WHOA! He is a handsome boy... that was back when I adopted him, he is much more musclar now.

I hope you guys like my cat too

The only "pretty"ish word I used would be conclusion, over all it was on a very basic writing level. I don't have a desire to play with WM, think they are just another eh guild, with a good core. But I like calling something what it is, and I am sorry, but this is not biased... Its people nameing their guild and army, and thinking that the funniest way to do it is to name it with the angriest language out there.

Please take note of the following: This means that is wasn't due to them being gummy bear, that they got the name, nor were all Wehrmacht gummy bear... In fact, if you continue to read the article: So, in conclusion, some of Wehrmacht was from the gummy bear era... therefore some Wehrmacht were indeed Nazis. I would also argue that ALL Nazis were white, so lets go ahead and get rid of all of the people here who are white on these forums, because by the logic that the name Wehrmacht is gummy bear, then all white people must be Nazis too.

OF course, as I said, if you are interested in getting connected in SB, let me know, and I will hook you up with how to get the files, how to get you started, and I will likely even help you up into the mid 40-50s in levels.

I have to take the week off from free graphics for some freelance work, so If anybody wants to fill in for me, the remaining names are: SirAres - he likes sword warriors and dragons and fire... trust me CheckYoTrack - this guy, hes down for anything that the people who went to highschool after you (or right now, if you are in highschool) would call "dope" sierrad - My guess, she wants something kinda dark and provacative... she wants to be a total BA and kill you, but she wants you to get all hot and bothered while she does

Oh you know, living the dream, making booze for a living now days.

OK got a few done, but thats it for today, others, tomorrow... maybe

Did I forget something or are you enjoying the winter grass?

I am so sorry, I have been getting emails on here, magic bane, and this thread, lost track, will add you to the list!
