To an outsider, it makes the MMO community look like it is unable to deal with a mistake with any degree of perspective and maturity. The EQ2 community had an opportunity to present itself well in an issue that is likely to gain at least some exposure in the non-MMO media, but instead came off looking like a mix of rabid dogs and whiny children.

Maybe off topic a bit but in reference to your last statement. I remember a time when skateboarding was frowned apon and people saw us as rabid dogs and whiny children... Look at it now, every lil preppy fag and his sister are sporting the latest DC's and Element shirt. In short, people stating how they feel isn't going to hold down the eq2 community in the long run.

Not gonna happen. If you're full of shit, you're gonna get called on it here.

Take this picture for example. Can you spot the one who is full of shit?

Just because the Guy on the right has SOE coming outta his butt.. i don't think thats a big problem... /giggle

The reports I have seen on websites not specifically related to EQ2, such as generic gaming news sites, did not seem to portray the community as rabid whiny dogs. They do paint SOE in a bad light though so I can see how that might irritate a staunch supporter.

I note your original post was to demonstrate that you do not agree with everything SOE do, yet you still felt the need to point the finger at the wider community reaction to the SOE mistake. That's a good example as to why you might not be a popular poster.

I'm also not sure I saw any twisting of SOE reps words. I saw some very ambiguous SOE posts open for different interpretations. Certainly none of the more contentious have been clarified, particularly that by the new Producer that further incensed 'the community'. That unfortunate post could be interpreted in a number of ways.

With the wide age range of passionate players of this game, isn't it inevitable that reactions will range from mild to extreme?

Happy Trolling here.

I think that the children are shaped by their parents. The reason for the wild dog reaction is a whole generation of players raised under SOE. We're learned that rational arguments get you no where with them. They go about their agenda unless there is a community outrage. Then they duck under cover and quietly roll back the damage.

People get upset. People know that a well though out rational post will get you no where with them. People know that a "you suck SOE" posted by multiple players will get them to react.

Well, you get the picture.

I'm surprised you actually came to these forums considering how many people can't fucking stand you on the official forums, you and your little buddy KENDRIKE!!are not liked anywhere.

I bet you walk through life constantly telling yourself, "it's not bad being an SOE fanboi, people will love you, even just one who's not on the official team!!!"

And, you're welcome. You know EQ2 is going down the shitter when you move here to get your daily dose of "I know more about SOE than anyone else." Enough people have moved on that you're just begging for attention.

To me you're just a dirty dev fuckbag.

Kendrike is bad but the one the really makes me want to poke my eyes out every time it/she /he posts is Femke..I swear he/she/it has a alarm or a bat phone that goes off any time someone says something negative about the game.
No matter what time of day or nite it is,here comes Femke to the rescue.I know its dumb but god I hate that fuck with a passion.
