I still like the assumption that FPSes are any less Mickey Mouse than MMORPGs. The FPS is even less technically valuable due to the fact that it completely revolves around settling into a groove, rather than any sort of preplanning like a MMORPG (planning gear runs and analyzing encounters, for example) or a shmup (charting out levels and planning bomb distribution, suicide, tracer control, pickups, and score chaining) requires.

Sure, there's a bit of skill involved in a FPS, but at the end of the day, what matters is how you settle in to the game (and the map itself).

Skill is intelligence for MMOs, rather than reaction. If you don't understand this, then you should just stop playing now.

I don't get it, how does this not make perfect sense?

it really boils down to the difference between an athlete running a 100m sprint and another who is playing a timed game of chess. they do use some of the same skills such as reaction time, but at the same time completely different skills are being used so you can't really compare the two's skills. They are simply much different.

But if you are trying to tell me that as a healer you dont have to have lightning quick reflexes in a raid situation your retarded.

I think Dextera's posts are getting more stupid everytime he posts in this thread. I believe he thinks that mmo's don't take much skill because he is in a shitty guild full of skilless hacks, thus he assumes everyone is equally as skilless. Maybe if you raided with a better guild once or twice you would see that there is skill in an mmo.

Morara · 07-26-2007, 08:46 AM

Well, he's on AB.
