    LULZ!  I don't understand the over-reacting either.  I mean, yeah, I can be accused of calling other players idiots and retards on a regular basis...and it seriously was because they were idiots and retards.  I mean, when someone types "get out of the novas and you won't die" and someone continues to blatantly stand in them and continually cause wipes in a party...leading to those people wasting more time on a fight than they should have to...then it's because they are fucking stupid and need to GTFO of the game.


    Nonetheless, I never slammed chairs around or tried to shove a remote up my ass or anything crazy, and I can't say I've ever called anyone a racial slur because of them being stupid.

    I think your question is not only a great, valid topic point, but I think that video was a great prime example of a o.O scenario to me.  I just don't get it at all.

    I couldn't have said it better myself, I also get angry sometimes at games, like when my guy doesn't catch the ball in Madden, or when I get killed online in call of duty, but I never throw a fit, it's all part of the game and the maturity to be able to understand the fact that it is a video game and learn what your doing wrong so you don't make the same mistake twice and become a better player

    There's a small difference between Madden and WoW:  WoW costs $15 a month, and it's a bit of a timesink compared to Madden.  When you are organizing a 25-man raid (back in the day a 40-man raid) and you are trying to get everyone organized over something like Vent and make sure that they understand the fights...I mean, with the hassle that it all takes to get shit straightened out, you don't want to have a wipefest going in there.  So it can be INCREDIBLY frustrating when you are wanting to play the game, and instead you are standing around and waiting for everyone to get their shit together...and when they finally do, it's a wipefest in less than a minute because people don't listen, don't know what the fuck they are doing, and don't know the shit they've gotten into.

    That doesn't, however, give an excuse for racist comments nor overreacting.  That's when a mature person would say "I'm sorry, I just can't continue to be in this group/raid/whatever because it's becoming frustrating" and you find a replacement for the group.  No one HAS to do the shit, and if they do the shit and this is the result, then they are leading a poor example for gamers everywhere.

    By all means, though...if I were playing Mega Man 9 and kept dying...I'd be throwing my fucking controller through every TV in the house!!!  lol  With Mega Man, overreacting is TOTALLY excusable!

    I've seen worse freakouts from older men playing WoW, in person. Not racist, but louder yelling and ranting.

    They were hilarious.

    Because it's a very good MMO, probably the best one out there.

    From my experience the only people who dislike WoW are the ones who really suck at it, and can't get their head round the idea of not having everything handed to them on a plate, so ragequit.

    @Gizmo: Or have never played it and make up a bunch of exaggerations about the game and its playerbase.

    Regardless that guy is an idiot (a racist idiot, no less) and really needs to learn to take the game less seriously. Unless he's acting; that's all the rage these days.

    @Gizmo: I don't like MMOS. I played WoW and it isn't "hard to get my head around". Too much grinding. It's like a black hole that sucks up all my time. I could be doing better things than holding W/Up for 15 minutes to get to the next quest.

    RPG's are time consuming, even the best of them. Look at Oblivion for example.

    Any games that requires me to go on a 2 hour raid without breaks sucks in my opinion. If you don't mind screwing off real life things then fine, but the amount of time to do those types of things and to even grind your way up to have the ability to do those things sucks and is one of the worst ideas for video games ever.

    But Blizzard is fucking brilliant for getting so many people hooked.

    ha, that is funny. i use to play WoW all the time. i would say things like that; aawww god damn it. the game got boring because people stopped doing raids because wraith of the lich king was coming out. i quit like three months before the game came out. i don't think i'm going to be playing the game anytime soon either.

    @Fr0Br0: Typically, after every boss fight, you ask if people need a break for anything (i.e. smoke break, bio, food, etc).  If not, then they are assholes.

    @Gizmo said:
    "Because it's a very good MMO, probably the best one out there."
    "Most popular" MMO.  It's definitely not even close to "best".  LOTR, Vanguard, and WAR all have far more rewarding content, and from what I hear, Aion is pretty damn amazing.  However, those games are very much focused on the "multiplayer" part of the MMO abbreviation.  In WoW, you can be a lone wolf and still get epics through random group invites.  In the others, you have to forge a good, solid relationship with your guild and players.  Also, I can't necessarily say a game is the best when it:
    • Beta tests patches for months on end, only to release them and they break the game...then those patches need patches, and those patches need patches...DESPITE the months of beta testing
    • Adds so many numbers to stats that it causes poor co-efficients and scaling issues, leading to gear dependance rather than skill dependance in PvE and PvP
    • Decreases the amount of time you are in a dungeon because users complain about having to work for their gear
    • Forces players to run specific teams in order to break high-end Arena brackets

    ...along with a slew of other issues I had with the game.  I still played it, and I enjoyed it...to a point.  After a while, though, the chore of going through it and knowing that it could be more difficult, more challenging, and vastly more rewarding than having purpz handed to me on a golden platter...it just pissed me off too much, man.  I remember Vanilla WoW and how challenging that shit could be.

    To be honest...the overreaction that this guy has is how I internally feel inside when I think about how cool WoW was when it started and what it's slowly become:  MySpace with graphics.
