Community Attitudes

Vesuveus · 31-08-2014, 09:35 AM,

I talked MMOs today with a friend. The subject that kept coming back was community bitching about the game. He plays everything under the sun, recently redubbed to WoW after a few years. I only played mxo. Everything he mentioned changes he had noticed in wow, I thought how the Mxo community would shout recycled content or bitch til someone got temp banned.

Why is this an mmo thing? Was mxo different from other gaming communities?

I used to see people whining that you couldn't be Neo in MXO but that's about it.

For some reason MMO players have a reputation for being extremely entitled. Maybe it's the monthly payment, who knows.

While this doesn't apply to everyone, I do think that many of today's generation of gamers has been brought up with their parents telling them how SPECIAL they are, like rare snowflakes. This has evolved into a generation of entitled smarmy jerks that believe their first car should be a BMW, and they are entitled to everything they want.

GET OFF MY LAWN

EXCUSE ME, BUT I PERSONALLY SAVED CHRISTMAS IN MXO EVERY YEAR I PLAYED.

I AM A VERY SPECIAL FUCKING SNOWFLAKE.

Was that the "Holiday Cheer" mission? Because a lot of us did that. Tongue
