mmochamp turned into a circle jerk

[Runicblood]

hopefully i dont get banned for this, but i think it's about time i retire these forums.

Every. single. post. is about how one part of the player base bashes the other part. and non-stop whining about how blizzard isn't making the game for them.

Peace bois. Will continue to get my news from here though.

And now you're starting the bash the enite userbase of mmochamp :/

So if you are going to retire from these forums, why do you hope you dont get banned ?

It’s not just this website. This mentality has infected the minds of every hobby, forum, and unrelated interest on the internet. People in general have become extremely nihilistic and angry. It’s exhausting.

The pandemic also plays a role where people are quick to turn into asshats.

Sort of ironic considering your latest post... or maybe you are self-aware and you do mean yourself as well.

because, although i don't plan on posting "anytime soon", the 10 year member really strokes me well. I would like to not lose that. Maybe in another 5 years it won't be so toxic and i'll gladly be back to lurking around.

10 years and you only picked on it now? Talk about slow.

That seems like the opposite of a circlejerk to me.

Edit: also whining that a game isn't 100% custom tailored for a single person, is kind of what the gaming community on the internet has devolved into in general.

Yep, the internet is going to suddenly become a much better place to be in the next five years. Surely. In the meantime maybe Ghostcrawler will finally get me that fucking pony he promised...

OK

Dont need to post such content that you could get ban for it

[Resheph]

These forums have always been a clusterfuck. MMO champ is great for news. The forums have always been 75% former players bashing the game and current players, but desperately hanging on to the one subculture they ever felt they belonged to. And the other 25% are people accusing others of being too casual or not casual enough.

Mind you, this goes for just about every forum on the internet, all the way back to usenet groups.

ITT: Toxic people talking about other toxic people.

MMO champ isn't a circle jerk, it's more of a toxic cesspit. And that's fine.

Granted, but the term circlejerk refers to a group of people that continue to agree with one another and go around in circles about it.

Bye, bye! And best of luck!

[Stormwolf64]

/facepalm. When was this ever not the case? If blizzard adds content of moisting turds for pets and mounts, people will go up in arms if you'd complain about it

[Blackmist]

False.

It didn't turn into one. It was born that way.

This insanely negative mentality is what the gaming communities have devolved into anywhere. For some reason individuals feel that every game should be 100% tailor made for them, their lifestyle and their interests instead of searching the game market and finding games and genres that fit them best.

The fall of MMOs is a prime example. MMOs were always games that required long term investment and featured long (sometimes tedious) grinds for cosmetic rewards, cool titles and other things to flex your epeen. Thus they attracted the corresponding audience. However we re at the point where every genre is trying to attract everyone and its not exactly working. MMOs have devolved into softcore mobile games with some grinds in between to please the original player base and you still have people being like "Bruh I cant play for 2 hrs a day with a full time job waah waaah". Instead of complaining about MMOs in general to be tailor made for them, I just wonder why these people dont just either: 1.) find a casual friendly MMO or just play an MMO but casually (possible in literally most MMOs) or 2.) play a game genre that is friendlier to people with limited time such as arena shooters, fighting games, mobas etc. Pop in, pop out 30 minute adventure.
